Continue capital re-investment in industrial moorage facilities
Identify emerging markets and opportunities to increase utilization of Industrial Properties

Long Term Considerations
What TEU capacity do we want to grow to?
What class container vessel do we want the
capability to handle?
What investments will be needed to maintain
existing assets
What investments will be needed to meet growth
goals?
What new lines of business should be
considered?
