- East Coast U.S. seaports are poised for a big decade. In Baltimore, a public-private partnership invested $550 million into Seagirt Marine Terminal to handle consumer cargo arriving on larger ships. Baltimore will next build a new rolling cargo dock and establish a new manufacturing hub with a $47 million federal grant awarded in 2023, among other improvements. The government's spending on port infrastructure is part of an attempt to revive the U.S. industrial base.

Why The Port Of Baltimore Is Getting A Makeover
This is everything Frank Sobotka fought for. Finally, we got that port dredged
_1 man, 1 vote!_
this needs to stay the top comment.
I was looking for a reference to The Wire as soon as I proceeded to the comment section. I'm glad this is the first comment. Thank you,
I was gonna say the same thing..only if him & ziggy were around😂😂😂😂
Came here to say this!
looks like they need a new bridge now
RIP Frank. You finally did it!
Ports need more railroad infrastructure as with the rest of the country. Its the most efficient way to move a lot of heavy stuff. It need's to be federally regulated so we don't have the same 3 companies playing monopoly on their regions.
Well now it needs a new bridge.
I’m proud of all the Frank Sobatka love I’m seeing.
Man, if only Frank Sabotka had lived to see this . . .
Facts
Exactly my thoughts 😂
RIP Frank Sabotka
Came to say this
Close your eyes frank…. Tough night last night.
Amazing that the Baltimore bottleneck, which has been around forever, is only now being fixed, and it only cost $500m Absurd that it took that long. By contrast, Apple's AirPods generated over $20B in sales.
I got the perfect solution.
Baltimore inspired AirPods
Coincidentally, I was just googling the 2017 tax cut savings for AAPL.
_The report, covering the first three months of the company’s activities under the new tax rules, shows $16.1 billion of worldwide pretax income, and an income tax provision of $2.35 billion, for a tax rate of 14.5 percent. By comparison, the company’s effective tax rate for the first three months of calendar 2017 was 24.9 percent. If last year’s effective tax rate were still applicable, the company’s first quarter income taxes would be $1.68 billion higher._
The moment I saw this. I knew the amount of the wire reference I’d see and I wasn’t disappointed 10 comments in. Rip Frank
Happy for Frank Sobotka, even I am from Finland.
Looks like it's certainly getting a makeover now...
I wonder how the tragedy of the FSK bridge may impact these growth plans?
Wasn't this explored in the HBO TV show "The Wire" Season 2 ?
I kept seeing Frank Sobotka’s name in the comments, so I assumed he was a politician in Baltimore from before my time lol. Then i looked him up 😑😑🤣
If you walk through the garden...
you better watch your back...
one big issue with all the upgrades is that most of the money goes into unloading the ships faster, but not into every other stage in the terminal
upgrading to container asrs would greatly increase the container capacity of the terminals while also increasing speed of access to any one container
This is the same thing Frank Sobotka was complaining about.
Check the German Box Bay - system
@@samulilahnamaki3127 oh nice boxbay actually got their prototype made
ooooffff.... Key Bridge tragedy is gonna put a real damper on these plans 😖💔
This whole snippet is so cringeworthy after today…
Exactly 💯... Well researched and said. Definitely suspicious
Spoiler: It’s because of Frank Sabotka
I can remember the back log of container ships off the coast of long beach CA in 2020-2021. I could see plenty of them from the beach, over 100 of them back logged at the time.
Am I the only one that caught the guy calling the ship to shore cranes looking like "space war kinda machines" when he clearly meant star wars AT-ATs
As an importer, I sat helplessly back in 2022 when our entire nation's port capacity was swamped and overloaded. We waited WEEKS for vessels to get berths to be unloaded. We watched vessels start deferring their departure dates indefinitely or blank sailings. We ran out of stock on everything and watched our customers grow impatient, it was atrocious. We clearly do not have the excess capacity to keep us from another blowup, and if you understand how queue lengths behave in terms of systems engineering, they don't break down in linear fashion, the wait times EXPLODE when you exceed capacity. I dread the future, we can't get enough capacity online fast enough to keep us from hitting another logjam soon; it's only a matter of time.
Strange how you just had the accident with the Ship...
It's getting upgraded with the growth of Freight Traffic. Canals can be used to have the shipping Vessels parked to unload the containers for smooth flow of the goods as with the Multiple Shipping Vessels.
I’m glad Baltimore is getting the improvements they need. I remember years ago they had a long process to get the channel to the Savannah/Brunswick port widened and deepened to handle the bigger ships. Georgia invested in the port because Atlanta is a transportation hub and the port is an important part of the trade. Companies have built factories in Georgia because of the infrastructure that moves supplies in and finished products out.
Sabotka would be proud...
3 months later, a giant container ship takes out a huge bridge in Baltimore. This upgrade couldn't come at a far worse time. That bridge disaster is a 100 million dollar a day disaster
1:25 Ports America spent $550m on terminal but seemingly $0 on bridge dolphins
ILA Local 953 stand up!
We're proud to represent the Port of Bmore 👷♂️💪⚓️
And do you oppose automation like your colleagues on the west coast? Ports in Asia and Europe are much more automated.
What about Frank Sobotka? I'm not hearing his name in here anywhere?
Did DiBiago finally come through with it?
Grain pier as a sweetener?
What about Frank Sobotka?
I'm not hearing his name in any of this
Bring the boxes to Norfolk, we’ve had the upgrades Baltimore are seeking for years now
Infrastructure like this, internet for rural America, prepping the grid for greener energy and EV's (I'm not a huge fan of EV's but they're seemingly inevitable) are all good investments. I think mid sized cities are in desperate need of mass transit, safe biking, and walk-able communities investment as well. Places that grew in Europe or Asia with tiny roads tend to mix shops and homes in a reasonable proportion. Just go down the block. We need to knock down a few houses here and there in suburbia and add small shops, offices, and non-industrial things of the like to decrease the distance traveled to work on average. I hate to say it but city's should have more apartments and parks and less houses. But my city is one of the most spread out in the nation (I think it's population per acre?). If not that extreme bit at least let's invest in a hub and spoke network for low or no emission mass transit combination of buses, transit vans, and trolleys depending on distance, speed, and capacity needed. Most cities have a ton of lanes and you can reserve one of those for mass transit and commercial vehicles only which helps business/productivity and makes mass transit extremely competitive. Have trains, trolley's, or fast buses connecting larger city's with surrounding towns. Now you've created a very valuable thing.
I just wish I was alive in the 30's when we had mass transit. My city was tiny back then and we had trolleys, it was EVERYWHERE. 😢
The Francis Sabotka Port of Baltimore
What about Frank Sobotka!? I'm not hearing his name in here anywhere!
Poor Ziggy had his canal enlarged repeatedly.
Land is way cheaper on the East Coast (at least in Baltimore) vs LA or San Diego.
East coast is towards Europe. Westcoast towards Asia. You need both really....
@@mysterioanonymous3206 sigh, you realize we have trains right? Not all the merchandise that gets unloaded on the West Coast...is for the West Coast. 2/3 of the population lives east of the Mississippi.
Why do I know this? Because my first job out of college was for a Fortune 500 company and I was a distribution analyst.
@@HKim0072 Exactly. Because you said land was cheaper on the east coast.... Well duuuhhh, you still need both coasts or you'd have to cross the Panama canal - hardly an increase in efficiency, or it would have already happened. So you need both coasts anyways whether land is expensive or not. It's still cheaper than any alternative....
There's way more harbor options on the East Coast as well. The West Coast is dominated by sheer cliffs and direct exposure to the open ocean with few barrier islands or peninsulas calming the waves.
@@doujinflipI live along the gulf. Is it easier for ships to dock in Shallow Waters along the Gulf or deeper waters like the West?
Great to see Frank Sobotka dream finally turn in reality. Now the port should be renamed after him.
lol is this from the wire ?
"Today we got ships Uncle Frank"
Frank sobaka would be proud 😢
As a Baltimorean or “Baltimoron” lol, this is definitely good for our local economy!
I was just out there in August to watch the Mets at Camden.. they got swept. And Baltimore is a beautiful city. Loved it 😊
Come back, there are some great parts to Baltimore City, not just the harbor. There are issue's here for sure, but the more jobs and industry the better.
The game is the game
@@jordan6489issues...? Understatement of the century.
I can’t say I disagree with your reply! I could write a novel about the issues that plague Baltimore but I just don’t have the time to do that haha
I think the United States should try, and do container on barge, and put a huge port down towards the mouth of the Mississippi. I think they were trying to do that but I don’t know if it’s going through.
I think the issue right now is the lack of manufacturing along the Atlantic. Most of our goods come from South East Asia. It's one of the reasons Mississippi traffic dried up, the death of US manufacturing. East Coast infrastructure is also an issue. It's very easy to lay tracks west of the Mississippi due to low elevation changes, less forests, and the relative emptiness. Get east of the Appalachia and the infrastructure is a mess and difficult to fix.
So, that used to be what happened back in the day with New Orleans and the Mississippi River. Unload in New Orleans and ship up the goods on river barges to the various cities. It still happens yes but not as much as before. Building a huge port now on the Mississippi delta would pose alot of problems, one the region is very hurricane prone as we see every year. Two, the topography, the delta is mostly below or just a bit above sea level and flooding is a huge problem, especially from strom surges. So the region is ideal for a huge port but at the same time, there are big risks.
Idk if you live in the Mississippi but they can't get anything up the river for a while now due to low water levels. But you do see barges going up and down the Mississippi. I'm from Memphis. But the water is low and been low so it's causing problems
Who is here after the bridge collapse?
This is a good advert for the corporate schills and lobbyists portrayed
??? Do you really believe this?
Philaport took this approach to. They got alot of new machinery and really benefited lately too
Frank can finally rest in peace now. They’re finally dragging out the harbor.
Also addressing the trucking industry will help with logistics as well
Baltimore is one of the beautiful places I ever been.
How many places have you been?
@@Pr0toPoTaT0Baltimore has its charms (it IS Charm City after all LOL). North Baltimore neighborhoods like Roland Park, Homeland and Mount Washington are actually really lovely and the wealthy northern inner suburbs in Baltimore County like Ruxton, Towson and Timonium are very nice as well. Like anywhere, there are good and bad parts.
@@zyxwut321 I live in southern Maryland so I feel like I have the right to talk down about Baltimore. Were ugly and pretty too 😆
Also, feel the need to mention there are good, bad, and VERY BAD parts to Baltimore. Only what I'm trying to say ❤️
What the %$#% am I reading!!!!!!!!!!
@@Pr0toPoTaT0 As someone that grew up basically
now me need to do this the ports of LA and Long Beach
I came for the wire references - wasn’t disappointed
You need more large automated seaports in the west coast stretch.
Jobs can be created easily with a loose monetary policy. The real thing is having good jobs that are serving on a high-level and very efficiently.
The Inflation Reduction Act was one of the greatest pieces of Legislation ever passed.
Honestly, if we could do another round of it, particularly with emphasis on renewables/infrastructure, it would be a gift to future generations; certainly not a burden.
Such things pay for themselves & more with the synergy they create.
Germany/EU will quickly fall behind us in not following our lead. They have antiquated ideas.
I hope you're just a bot. The IRA was just political graft rewarding Democrat allies. Trillions of dollars stolen from the American people.
Doubt they gonna pass another Act
So why does prices keep going up on literally everything? yeah that's what I thought
They should have also covered liquid terminals, not just containers (and one ro-ro)
xu xu gc u xu g😅
Frank. You were a RN. Much love from Sweden
Why does everything have to be private public? Is the State/Federal Government allergic to just doing it inhouse and investing all the money that is needed?
Efficiency. I see you've never worked for the government...
State investment like what China is doing sounds very impressive, but if you look more closely, they are extremely wasteful. US is a lot more developed and has much higher debt, wasteful investments are simply not that attractive nor necessary.
@@raylopez99 Funny you say that. Chinas government is the world biggest yet they complete infrastructure projects like this at a higher quality, 10x faster and 1/3 price of any US equivalent. So much for Bloated government being impotent. That applies to the US.
Because nothing is possible unless a private equity group can make a profit on it. Thank you GOP
@@taipizzalord4463 lol, you've never heard of tofu dreg construction.
And, dude. Concrete needs time to cure. Building fast...ain't a good thing.

😂😂😂😂
They getting a makeover alright 😆
You can see a quick shot of the NS Savannah at 3:47. ;) She was a nuclear-powered passenger / cargo ship.
Now they need a new new makeover
I’m a big fan of those Space War movies. 😂
did he say the cranes looked like "space war machines"? like star wars at-at's or something?
All the interviews needlessly extend this video.
They need to find a better way to keep the illegal drugs out of the Ports.
the US gov would NEVER allow that to stop, literally everything bad comes from the boats. and thats bc they let it, its their most and only profitable business. everything else is just make up.
I fully expected tons of Sobotka comments in the comment section and I'm not disappointed
Wow, this is everything they bitched about in season two of the wire rip Frank
why? making them navy compatible?
Better take a page from Doug Marchand former CEO of Georgia Ports Authority.
Where’s Frank Sobatka? I’m not hearing his name…
The whole city needs a makeover.
“Space war cranes”… so close
🙂US got the money for wars, not to fix its homelessness, roads, ports.....
The US is literally spending money to fix its roads and ports though, as this video demonstrates? The Infrastructure and Jobs Act is funding these upgrades and it was passed by Biden in 2021.
Yeah Baltimore needs any help it can get 👍
Infrastructure and Jobs Act for the win!
From the wire
You gotta keep the devil down in the hole
Double stacked wagons... as if murica has no detailments :D
Cnbc 😃
Chinese cranes with cameras and industrial electronics? Surely Frank wouldn't have wanted this
Fun Fact: they used to roll tobacco in barrels to transport it to the harbor and ship to Europe. Hence, the name "Rolling Road" in the Baltimore suburbs.
The odd juxtaposition of Maryland. Kinda the South, but not really. Not really the North either. Hence all the battles from the Civil War.
/Pause/ Crane operators don't wear shoes?
Just here for The Wire comments
Reform the JONES ACT! Now!!!!!
The US should be subsidizing US ship builders as a matter of national security. If war ever does breakout, the US will need the capacity to build more than one ship a day. It just doesn't have that capacity today. The Jones Act is one means to protect US ship builders.

Should have spent $ on protecting the bridges. Funny this is 3 months before chaos in baltimore port. Makin me wonder why they cant afford to protect pillars to bridges.
No politicians want to spend money on problems that not happened yet. They can't even solve existing problems.

31 million jobs credited to seaports? That’s 20% of the US workforce. Read a (n economics) book, CNBC.
Infrastructure investment by the federal government was proposed back in 2017/2018. Someone had this idea for good reason.
And yet all of the Republicans voted against all of it
lmfao desperately trying to take credit away from Biden who passed this huh?
@@coreyleander7911 Congress voted on the infrastructure bill and then the POTUS signs into law. It was proposed before, but Congress was controlled by Democrats. It’s called partisan politics.
Back in Obama's time... 2008?
And those cranes are chinese.
Maybe China should put an export embargo on these essential tools.
Hope there are plenty of shifts for the checkers local
🇺🇸👍
there is no way that it takes those dollar amounts to do half of wjat they have planned. i mean fucc if the higher powers werent taking half off top....it wudnt be that high. i was in construction for many years and the profit margains are soo crazy...people will pay 30k for a new 8x10 kitchen n tha most expensive thing in there is tha $1500 range and fridge😂😂😂
Make baltimore great again😊😊
do you want 24/7 operation? do you want automation? well, the union says no.
Are the cranes made in China? If so they need to find another country to buy them from.
Disability plan for 3 months
While on the topic of efficiencies and making long-term investments with government money, the US should nationalize healthcare and make it universal.
If you were to apply public sector healthcare funding in the US to the entire population, the US would spend more per capita than any other country. The issue is the cost, and not something Congress will tackle since most of them take part of the cut.
= "I dont take anything away from this video at all."
@@coreyleander7911That's true. I really didn't.
@@firefox39693 kinda standard for a far leftist
@@coreyleander7911Universal healthcare isn't far left. Making a nexus between universal healthcare and government money being spent on public infrastructure, with the sole focus of making corporations more profitable, isn't radically left-wing at all.
