Panama/ Suez Canals

• Panama Canal
• Opens 2015
• Tolls will increase – today

$85/TEU, could be over $100/TEU after opening

• Line haul cost savings will be the

key

• Who sees that savings?
• Are East Coast Ports ready?
• Suez Canal
• Handle much larger ships
• Going to USEC via stops in MED
• Better cost utilization
• However, need more ships in the

rotation
