Calculated optimism at U.S. ports

摘要

According to the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) seaport activity supports 23 mill. US jobs and generates 321 bn$ in federal, state and local tax revenue each year. The total value of economic activity related to America's seaports is 4.6tn$, representing 26% of the US economy. However, these figures apply to the time prior to the new federal government. The new US president wants to boost the exports of the US economy and even push them into new dimensions. This is good for the ports, especially those who are active in the export of oil and oil products. Further facilitations for exporters are to follow.
