Agile Port System / Inland Port
|
All roads lead to Dallas...
The Agile Port System/Inland Port is a shipping, receiving, and distribution hub for inbound and outbound containers through seaports. The port will facilitate the seamless transition of container movement among trucks, rail, and ships. The containers would be moved using state of the art technology so that they could easily be processed to meet “on demand” shipping requirements.
In April 2005, the U.S. Maritime Administration, City of Dallas, and Port of Houston Authority signed an historic Memorandum of Understanding agreeing to partner for the development and the implementation of the Dallas Agile Port System. The U.S. Maritime Administration’s Office of Intermodal Development defines an agile port system as “the physical design, business processes, and operational characteristics that increase the velocity of cargo moving through ports or terminals compared to current practices.”
In addition, the Port of Dallas seeks to serve as an inland distribution center for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as for the Pacific Mexican Ports of Lázaro Cárdenas, Manzanillo, Topolobampo, and Guaymas.
Agreements have been signed with several seaports to further develop trade relations and with the intent to use the Port of Dallas as an inland distribution center for international trade.
The International Inland Port of Dallas also has an agreement with the Panama Canal Authority that focuses on the all water route from Asia and utilizes the Panama Canal and the Port of Houston.
