How Will the Panama Canal Expansion Alter Global Trade for U.S. East Coast Ports? « PIERS: "The Port of New York-New Jersey is the one to keep your eye on.

Currently only 50% of its 12 million TEUs of capacity is being utilized, in addition to the construction on the Bayonne Bridge and fast rail intermodal being serviced by two railroads – the East Coast is getting ready.

Jersey falcons put up a squawk - UPI.com

Jersey falcons put up a squawk - UPI.com: "BAYONNE, N.J., May 26 (UPI) -- Port Authority workers said they got a rude welcome when they poked around a new falcon nest near the Bayonne Bridge linking Staten Island and New Jersey.

A biologist climbed to the top of a tower Friday to the tag a pair of falcon chicks in the nest, and received plenty of static from the parent birds.

"They were flying around, squawking at us," said Ron Marsico, a spokesman with the Port Authority, who monitored the operation.

The chicks were named Archie and Juliette and may have a pretty good life ahead of them once they grow into their flying feathers. The area around the bridge is flush with food in the form of starlings, pigeons and other birds, the New York Post said, as well as plenty of tall buildings where falcons can perch during their hunting sorties."

The Bayonne Bridge – plans to raise the roadway and lift the economy

The Bayonne Bridge – plans to raise the roadway and lift the economy: "This clearance limitation is likely to cause a reduction of port competitiveness and diversion of cargo to other East Coast ports. The future use of larger, newer post-Panamax vessels is expected to reduce environmental impacts, lower shipping costs, provide economies of scale, and offer potential benefits in overall transportation costs to regional, and to national and international customers. Removal of the existing clearance restriction is crucial to maintaining the port’s position as the third largest port in the country, and assuring continued regional economic growth and development."

Port Richmond | Staten Island Waterfront 2012

Port Richmond | Staten Island Waterfront 2012: "Much of Port Richmond sits on a narrow stretch of what is known geologically as the ‘Palisades Sill,’ surrounded by the Brunswick and Stockton Geologic Formations, which are from a similar time and history. The 200-million-year-old Palisades Sill, an underground upheaval, extends down from Newburgh to New Jersey; it is most visible at the Palisades, a cliff-face extending north from the George Washington Bridge for about twenty miles. Its route can be roughly traced on the Palisades Interstate Parkway. Sections of the Palisades Sill can also be seen near the Bayonne Bridge, albeit less impressively. Much of Newark Bay and the Lower Hudson River Valley follow the formation’s undersea counterparts to the ocean – or rather, a lake just inland from the ocean, bottled in by the isthmus crossing the Narrows. When glacial moraine broke through the Narrows about 10,000 years ago, the draining of the ‘dammed’ lake left the waterways we know today."

An audience of contractors, engineers, consultants, and bureaucrats gobbled up the Governor's partisan red meat, giving him standing ovations on arrival and departure.

Before he arrived, though, a parade of speakers from the administration and transportation providers talked bullishly about a number of transportation projects, such as raising the Bayonne Bridge over the Kill Van Kull to allow larger vessels to use the Port of New York and New Jersey."

Port Strategy - Bridges to mend and to build: "But while this dispute may be the subject of most attention regarding the PANYNJ, it is also interesting to note that the authority is seeking to utilise a new fast track permit process to implement a $1bn project to raise the Bayonne Bridge. This has to be done to facilitate the entry of the larger size container vessels that are expected in the port following the opening of the widened Panama Canal. Even if it does achieve fast track permitting, however, the bridge project will not be completed for some time after the new canal system opens for business."
