DREDGING & THE
ECONOMY
“The health of the U.S. economy depends, in part, upon the vitality and expansion of international trade. International trade depends upon the Nation’s navigation infrastructure, which serves as a conduit for transportation, trade, and tourism and connects us to the global community.
Marine transportation is one of the most efficient, effective, safe and environmentally sound ways to transport people and goods. It is a keystone of the U.S. economy. Ninety-five percent of our international trade moves through the Nation’s ports.”

Many shipping lines have announced plans to deploy larger ships which, due to channel dimension requirements, currently cannot use many U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports.
