Abstract:
In this article Leutze continues his examination of the project to develop a mega seaport just above Southport. The port will be four times as large as the current one at Wilmington and rival Charleston, South Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia. The new port will handle two million containers a year and have space for four ships to dock at a four-thousand-foot structure. He gives an in-depth look at the issues involving the planned super port. One issue is the needed cooperation between North and South Carolina, the two states that will be mightily affected by the international port.
