If something has been prepared for sea (shipping) and suddenly it needs to be flown, then the cargo probably needs to be prepared for flying very differently than it was prepared for sea.

Our industries are under intense competition and for many of us, rail has been the most economical means of transporting in our raw goods and shipping out our finished products.

Jeff Strain

There's a national imperative to rebuild that infrastructure, ...

Bob Watters

We just don't know how all of this is going to play out. We're hearing that when river and ports do open that it will just be during daylight hours because nighttime navigation equipment is out. That will cut shipping capacity by 50 percent.

We'll have to deal with that as we go, we just have so much money to spend, it's always a challenge. ... Budgets are just a projection and it's so volatile, it's just hard to plan. If things rise in one area, we'll just have to make up with it in another.

Daniel Kunstler

San Francisco Bay has been hit hard by organisms hitchhiking from across the Pacific, ... They're talking about setting up very stringent rules for San Francisco Bay. If a ship has to change its whole operation to go into San Francisco Bay, it's going to reflect on the economy of the shipping line.

Linda Farmer

We're not doing away with free shipping, but we're adding a new option, which is free pickup. Free shipping is a promotion that comes and goes on a daily basis or a weekly basis.

Peter Levine

If companies like a Walgreen or a CVS would create a bigger Web site, it would motivate better online traffic, ... But the reason those companies don't create an online presence is that the cost of doing business by adding more warehouses and more shipping is too costly to run.

Pete Spear

John Chapman

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Shanghai Shipping Exchange spread throughout China, if they want it too.

Shipping is a very global business.

Peter Shaerf

It would certainly give a short-term boost to the shipping industry, ... There is a certain inflow of equipment, so they would need shipping tonnage, a lot like the Persian Gulf war situation. Sea-Land would be in the pole-position.

Eric Ballantine

We serve everyone. The largest Israeli shipping company is one of our largest customers.

Ed Emmett
