• Vessels are raised 85 feet to Gatun Lake
between each ocean.
• In FY ending September 30, 2014, almost
12,000 vessels transited the Canal,

to enhance truck turn times as well as container cranes for improved accuracy.
 Damage inspection via OCR to store/record images of inbound/outbound lanes for
greater transparency.
 GPS (global positioning system) currently being utilized on RTG equipment to ensure
precise movement.

the Port of Baltimore is involved in REI, unsolicited by MPA, plans on evangelizing our
efforts with external industry peers for future consideration showing strategic advantages
in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

dredge materials by the Federal Government and has
been held up as a model for other ports to emulate.
