    Article centers on trade relations and its effects on different ports. It mentions west coast ports dominating US ports in volume, but other ports are continuing to grow. Talk of investment now for the future. This article is pre COVID, so it's interesting to see the ideas before the effects of the pandemic were realized.

    The article discusses emissions at ports around the world and focuses on a measurement of a port's affects on the environment through a measurement called Port Environmental Index (PEI). The PEI consists of standards that will allow the tracking of emissions and effects on the environment for the port over time. The internet of things (IOT) will allow real time monitoring.

    Interesting thesis about climate change and ports. The paper discusses the importance of ports to world trade and national security (specificallyf or the US). The US military has recently become more of an expeditionary force rather than occupational, subsequently ports are becoming more important. However, impending climate change threatens the port operations and infrastructure that need to be understood.

    An article about emergining issues in ports. This doesn't touch on current problems related to back ups from COVID, but it identifies several other issues such as international considerations, environmental, port scalability, governance and volatility of demand. Interesting in that it touches on so many issues. While so many articles focus on climate change this touches on other areas such as port governance.

    The current problems at the sea ports warrants an even closer look at what's happeining. An article from the Sierra club identifies how ports harm the environment with diesel freighters and equipment. The article is a call to address these matters sooner than later. It also mentions that the port communities are suffering due to exposure to the emissions from operations and that often these communities are lower income families.

    Article talks about a possible Iranian hack of US maritime accounts. With so much reliance on ports, and an estimated increased reliance in the future, more attention needs to be brought to cyber security, especially as ports become more automated. How secure will the ports have to be? With continued reliance on trade, the security of the ports become a critical aspect of national security.

    Short article on the Port of Virginia testing autonomous trucks. Containers received at the port are either hauled away by trucks or rail. Integrating autonomous trucks into the system could result in improved efficiencies in delivering and receiving containers. Actual implementation is likely a few years out, but automation coupled with less reliance on human intervention will be changing the way operations look in the future.

    Bottlenecks are happening at many ports. Demand is exceeding capacity to where shippers are seeking alternate ports to ship to. Some say bottlenecks will easily last through the fall and possibly up until 2023. US west coast ports traditionally see a higher volume of throughput than the east coast ports, but with bottlenecks, traffic is being redirected to the east coast ports and will likely be into the future.

    Article takes a look a worldwide effects of rising sea levels. There seems to be a more drastic effect likely in areas in Northern Sea areas, but all ports to be affected, and since 80% of commerice is shipped, the areas serviced by the ports will be affected.

    Automation is seen as the big drive of change in sea ports of the future. With so many benefits being realized as a result of automation, it seems inevitable. Not only will we see automation but more connectivity of ports with other systems.

    Interesting article about the clash (and likely continued clash) amongst unions and port operators/authorities and the increased use of automation resulting in the need for fewer employees at the ports. Mentions concern for the government's stance on the introduction of new technology.

    THis is an extensive look at seaports and anticipated changes in coming years leading up to 2050. One big factor it mentions is that existing ports will need more space due to increased volumes and climate change factors. More space has to be considered in planning. With more space for the ports to operate, more is likely displaced and that will have an effect on surrounding communities.

    Article reviews how supply chain problems are more than bottlenecks at that ports. Lack of truck drivers and availalbility of rail contribute to delays. The article mentions a lot of things that need to be addressed before commerce flows like it once was. A key takeawy is the interconnectivity of ports with other elements of the entire transportation and supply distribution system.

    Short article that says that ports will need to grow in coming years (next 3 decades) to accomodate growing world trade. A fourfold increase would be considerably more volume than we presently see. The article says that the cost of expanding port capacity will exceed required rising sea level adaptation.

    The article addresses some of the problems the supply chain infrastructure is facing today. It brings up some interesting points: US ports lag far behind ports around the world in their efficiency of loading and unloading cargo. The labor unions that control the ports are extremely reluctant to automation that might improve efficiencies and speed up processes.

    The article addresses current shipping problems. Though most problems can be attributed to the pandemic, other issues are noted that add to the frustration. Unions and US policy are the primary problems the author sees. Once the COVID hurdles are overcome, what's to say other problems still won't hinder the supply chain and what can we do about them. One place to start is the unions and their control over port operations and the other is trade policy--what will trade policy look like down the road.
