This would be a good time for coastal red states to build docks and transfer stations everywhere they can.

Indeed. The cultural divorce is coming. We need to develop our own resiliency.
And lots of inland ports.
I am more acquainted with GA so that's my example. Savannah/Brunswick has expanded dock, container handling/storage space at the ports plus expanded rail and more is under construction. Further, “inland ports” have been constructed in north Ga (and are being expanded) that allow much more rapid movement of containers from the sea ports via rail. IIRC, this movement to north GA. can be under bond such that customs clearance can can be remote from the seaport. FYI, north GA and SW GA is pretty heavily industrialized via automobiles, tires and carpeting among others.
