Ports with Plans for Expansion
International trade, particularly in the intermodal container shipping business, is undergoing significant change as a result of the
Panama Canal expansion. Many shipping lines have announced plans to deploy larger ships which, due to channel dimension
requirements, currently cannot use many U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports.

Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF)
10
The Harbor Maintenance Tax was established in 1986 to fund the operation and maintenance of U.S. ports and
harbors by levying a fee on incoming freight. However, over the past decade, Congress has authorized only a portion
of HMTF funds to the Army Corps’
dredging budget, creating an account surplus of over $5.5 billion. Due to this
ongoing
under-allocation
and
the
subsequent
spending
shortfall,
the
Army
Corps
estimates
that
the
top
59
most
trafficked U.S. ports meet their authorized depths and widths less than 35% of the time.
Includes Section 401, Funding for Harbor Maintenance Programs, the modified RAMP Act.
Includes a guarantee that total budget resources to be spent on harbor maintenance for a
fiscal year will be equal to level of receipts collected from commercial use of ports and will be
deposited into Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund.
Legislation to ensure 100% of funds collected go to harbor maintenance introduced in the House in
January 2011 (RAMP Act) and Senate in February 2011 (Harbor Maintenance Act of 2011).
On April 18th, 2012 the House of Representatives approved passage of H.R. 4348
(Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012, Part II).
If ultimately passed, will have a positive impact on maritime commerce by adding as much as $500
million to the domestic dredging market annually.

Act

The second important section of H.R. 4348 (Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012, Part II) -
Section 302, the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund.
Establishes the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund and requires 80 percent of all
administrative, civil, and criminal penalties paid by a responsible party in connection with the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill, to be deposited into that fund, together with any additional
appropriations provided by law.
There has been continued focus on restoring the barrier islands and wetlands that provide natural protection from
storms in the Gulf Coast area.  Many restoration projects have commenced to repair coastal areas affected by
Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Several additional projects are being planned by state and local
governments to restore natural barriers to utilize funding established following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Wheatstone LNG Project in Australia
DEME and Great Lakes have a long history of joint venture and subcontract
cooperation
The total subcontract represents a value of about AUD 1.13 billion (about $1.21
billion), with Great Lakes responsible for mechanical dredging
Great Lakes expect to commence mobilization to the Wheatstone Project in the third
quarter of 2012, following the completion of other contract obligations for the dredge
New York
Great Lakes will mobilize its backhoe dredge, New York, two 5,000 cubic yard material
barges, tug boats and ancillary support equipment to Western Australia to assist in the
excavation of clay and rock to create the access to the Wheatstone material offloading
facility and the approach channel
The Great Lakes’
portion of the project is expected to take about 27 months to
complete
