[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is definitely going to cause big shipping and fulfillment issues from our area, for a few months at least. [/quote] Not just our area. According to wikipedia (I know, I know, but good enough for anonymous message board posting) it ranks 7th out of 36 US ports for total dollar value of goods handled, handles 25% of all US coal exports, and handles everything from cars to lumber to steal.[/quote] The port’s temporary closure will be an economic hit for the city and state, but let’s not overstate its broad regional and national significance. Baltimore is the smallest deep water port on the East Coast — 25% the size of Norfolk and 10% the size of NY/NJ. Goods bound for Baltimore will be rerouted to larger ports in the region that can handle the excess capacity. Will there be headaches in some niche sectors like imported cars? Perhaps. Will there big shipping and fulfillment issues across the DMV? No.[/quote]
