Geraldine Knatz, Executive Director (retired), Port of Los Angeles
The current Panama Canal expansion project is a game-changer: the immense post-Panamax containerships will alter global trade routes. Are we ready for a new definition of “big?” Dr. Geraldine Knatz discusses the state of readiness of U.S. ports, the competitive issues between the east and west coasts, and what it means for Kansas City.
