This is a question that indeed is one to ponder however; try as I might there seems to be little in the way of current public information on the status of the Mega-port; something less than 90-days old and certainly nothing more than six-months old.

What cannot be denied is the delay in the manner of developing the Mega-port and, to the best of my knowledge, even before the bid-process has been completed. Economic forces not withstanding a point of view just shared with me brings to light the good old fashion rule of “supply and demand” and how it may loosely apply to Punta Colonet.
That is to say, if the demand comes from anything west of the Rockies; then why not just stay with the proven, albeit crowded at times, Port of Los Angeles? Sure, “west of the Rockies” geographically represents only one-third of the country but let us not forget that California is indeed one the largest economies in the world and thus commands the appropriate demand, respectfully.
With this in mind there seems to be an underlying sense that perhaps the port may indeed be “dead in the water” (no pun intended) and that perhaps it will never see the light of day. At this point am I am not so sure where I would place my bet.
Let’s assume for moment that the mega-port is in fact dead. Do we take that and breathe a collective sigh of relief and assume that the worst is over or do we take this as a shot across the proverbial bow and take note of what I consider to be the to be the obvious, change is coming. Like or not, it is indeed going to come.
Change is in the air…..stay tuned for my input on Change.
