Cargo ship in Portsmouth marks a first: 48.5-foot draft | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com: "Baltimore, which has a 50-foot channel and will soon have a 50-foot berth, is a close second. Dredging is under way in New York/New Jersey, which will open up 50-foot access to several terminals by year's end. A $1 billion project to raise the Bayonne Bridge, however, isn't expected to be finished until 2016 at the earliest."
