As a result, docking space on port and harbor is expanding. 

The expansion of the Panama Canal, which cost around US$ 6 billion, has made it possible for ships with large TEUs to pass through. Owing to the Panama expansion, the average size of container vessels has also witnessed an increase, necessitating maintenance work in ports which cannot accommodate these behemoth ships. Moreover, the demand for harbor deepening is very high in North America due to increasing dependency on seaborne trade in this region. North America accounted for a substantial market share of the harbor deepening industry. Although harbor deepening remains an important activity from an economic perspective, when carried out without consideration, it has the potential to cause ecological imbalance.
