Specific areas of focus will include marketing, research and data interchange, technical advancements and personnel training programs.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, the Port of Philadelphia handled 3,644,919 metric tons of cargo-a 17% increase from 2009. The Port is responsible for thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Philadelphia area and throughout Pennsylvania. Further growth is anticipated when the Panama Canal expansion is completed in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Panama Canal Authority and the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority reinforces an already complimentary and mutually beneficial relationship,&#8221; said PRPA Chairman Charles G. Kopp, Esq.\u00a0 &#8220;While we strive to deepen the Delaware River to 45 feet to facilitate larger vessels at the Port of Philadelphia, the current expansion of the Panama Canal will ultimately help bring about the same result.\u00a0 Our two initiatives, once completed, will increase ship traffic, jobs and other economic benefits at both our port and in Panama.\u00a0 To that end, I&#8217;m extremely happy to renew our fraternal and business-oriented partnership as both authorities work to enhance their respective missions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PRPA is supporting a large-scale investment to deepen the Delaware River Main Channel from 40 feet to 45 feet. Green-lit by the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in January 2010, the deepening is projected to directly create more than 8,000 new jobs and is critical to the Philadelphia-area ports&#8217; future economic prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Canal&#8217;s expansion is on schedule, following the recent commencement of the permanent concrete work for the new locks. The $5.25 billion project includes the construction of a new set of locks that will allow the transit of longer and wider ships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Panama Canal Authority (ACP)<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>The ACP is the autonomous agency of the Government of Panama in charge of managing, operating and maintaining the Panama Canal.
