Summary
In response, the Army Corp of Engineers has allocated billions of dollars to deepen ports across the US.From Massachusetts to Alabama, officials say ports must accommodate supersized ship dimensions in order to remain competitive in global trade.At The Port of New York and New Jersey, a $2.1 billion harbor-deepening project freed up access to "post-panamax" ships, the name for mega ships too large to travel through the Panama Canal.The vessels' larger-than-life size may be contributing to the supply-chain crisis that's caused record-breaking backlogs at US ports, one expert told Insider.
