America s Marine Highway Vision of the Marine Highway Program The full integration of reliable, regularly scheduled, competitive, and sustainable Marine Highway services into the surface transportation system that are a routine choice for shippers. Includes 25,000 miles of waterways, rivers, coastlines and the Great Lakes Expands use of navigable waterways to reduce highway congestion and air pollution Provides new, economically sustainable, supply chain alternatives
CRITICAL ELEMENTS - CREATING A MARINE HIGHWAY SERVICE Proposed Projects must be located on a designated Marine Highway Route A public/private partnership between ports, vessel operators, labor, and most importantly, shippers! A solid business case including analysis of competing modes (truck and rail) An efficient operational plan Adequate capital for start up and initial operations A coordinated promotion effort by key stakeholders

PORT TYPOLOGY Energy handles liquid bulk, has pipelines, tanks and berths for very large vessels; needs extra depth at berth. Ro/Ro (roll on/roll off) handles vehicle and heavy equipment exports and imports; needs ramps, docks with width, may offer value added services for vehicle prep. Break bulk handles steel, forest products, refrigerated products not in containers; needs laydown yards, specialized warehousing, may need fumigation services. Bulk handles aggregates for construction and road building, fertilizers for agriculture, agricultural exports such as rice, wheat, soy, etc.; may have silos or warehouses near dock, or be connected by conveyor belts; may need extra depth at berth. Container - needs larger contiguous acres, cranes and equipment to move containers, may need fumigation services; vessels can be very large, needs extra depth at berth.
Cruise cruise facilities are best separated from cargo operations at ports for safety of passengers, but they must also accommodate provisioning by 75 or more trucks per vessel per day as well as baggage from passengers; cruise ship home ports are those where passengers board the vessel and return at the end of the cruise these need safe, secure parking facilities within a close walk, a nearby airport and facilities for buses, taxis and rental cars; ports of call are those where the vessel arrives for less than a day to allow passengers to visit the region. These require safe, accessible transit options such as bus or taxi for passengers. All cruise ports are required to accommodate needs of vessel crew members. Space handles rockets for refurbishment, drone barges/vessels, proximity to hangar, needs adequate room for operations.
