Summary
The port wants to double its container volume to 20 million TEUs by 2050, mostly by shifting cargo from trucks to trains via its $3.2 billion capital program. That could mean fewer truck trips on local roads and more port-related jobs, though tariff and Middle East conflict uncertainty looms over trade volumes.
