Abstract
Executive Summary. Freight movements are an increasingly important determinant of warehouse/distribution space demand. In particular, the rising use of marine container terminals in the global movement of goods is a major contributor to demand in the United States. This paper examines the factors that will influence which ports will likely gain market share, including port facilities and transit times. Trends in ship size, use of the Suez and Panama Canals, “land-bridging,” “transloading” and intermodal rail use are also examined. It concludes with a determination of which warehouse markets should benefit from the changing flows of containerized goods through the nation's largest ports.
