    Havard Final Case

    Uploaded by

    Vu Hong Anh
    Harborco proposes developing a deep-water port on an artificial island in Seaborne to accommodate large cargo ships and tankers. The $4 billion project would take 5-20 years to complete and develop substantial onshore infrastructure. However, several parties have concerns about the project including environmental groups worried about ecological damage, local unions wanting jobs for their members, other ports expecting lost business, and state and federal agencies with their own priorities. Harborco must gain sufficient political support to receive approval for their license to move forward.

    Harborco

    National consortium
    from various enterprise
    financing/construction/operation of the port
    preliminary planning/ design

    --> Cannot have license issue by FLA

    Project

    deep-water port
    Located in Seaborne
    accommodate a new generation of large cargo ships and supertankers
    based on an artificial island of roughly nine square miles
    Onshore, an Air-Sea-Cargo Center (ASCC) would be developed

    --> . Substantial infrastructure would be needed

    --> While components of the port could be operational as early as


    five years after construction begins,
    the port's full development might not be completed until 20 years later.

    --> Cost:4 billions

    ***Several other parties, however, have an interest


    in the deep-water port and Harborco's application for a license.

    1.The Environmental League: Harborco's proposed port would seriously damage


    the environment of Seaborne and destroy the basic Banksedge River ecology.

    2.Local Federation of Labor Unions (The Unions): . They will argue strongly,
    however,
    that these jobs should be reserved for local union members.

    3.Other Ports in the Region: They expect to lose a substantial amount of business
    to the new port, if it is constructed. They are extremely skeptical of Harborco's
    claim that all
    regional ports will share in the economic benefits generated by the new port.
    .

    4.Federal Department of Coastal Resources (DCR):


    The DCR would like to see a deep-water port established somewhere on the East
    Coast,
    and has the resources and authority to subsidize such a port.

    the DCR will insist on certain aspects of port design


    before it will contribute to the port.

    Veto any federal loan or loan guarantee

    5.Governor Sherwood (of Seaborne): is eager to promote development in her state.


    eager to see that unions share in the benefits of the port.
    FLA: sensitive to level of politica support --> , the FLA will not approve
    Harborco's application unless
    it is clear that there is substantial support for the project.

    Harborco: freedom to choosr industry mix

    - No industry excluded --> mix mainly include oil refineries, petrochemical plants,
    steel productions plants, and a resource recovery plant.

    all industries would conform to existing federal


    and state pollution regulations.

    • * A primarily dirty industry mix (Option A1),


    • * Some harm to the ecology (but within federally and state-prescribed
    limits)
    (Option B1),
    • * No special preference for union workers (Option C4),
    • * A $3 billion loan from the DCR (Option D1), and
    • * No compensation payments to other ports (Option E5).
