MarEx Podcast:

Our now regular feature is a popular staple for MarEx readers on the go. Our eighth podcast recounts our December 19th lead editorial referencing the recently announced increases in fees for port users at the port of corpus Christi, Texas. The article drew more than its share of “click-through” traffic. Now, you can also tune in and listen.

MarEx Editor Joseph Keefe, in his editorial, entitled “Port Security: At What Price, Who Decides and to Whose Account?”outlines how Corpus Christi Port commissioners approved 500 percent ship fee hike to pay for Security Patrol. The slim 4-3 vote margin underscores overwhelming local opposition to new marine patrols which local port users deem unnecessary. The controversial decision has many port users unhappy and it is not hard to see why. Tune in as Keefe handicaps the situation in Corpus Christi, by clicking HERE.
