Overview of Scope Stakeholder coordination Shipping data visits Needs survey Stakeholder visits Assessment of existing conditions Corridor analysis Roadway and rail needs Short Sea Shipping River Capacity Waterway needs Cost estimates Recommendations 7
Special Studies River Capacity PURPOSE Quantify the river throughput capacity with dynamic model Includes both channel and berthing elements Considers: speeds, tug operations, turnaround time, berth occupancy, vessel types, navigation constraints, other vessels OUTPUTS Berth and channel utilization for various scenarios Possible waterway improvements Short Sea Shipping PURPOSE Assess technical feasibility of operating a Container-on-Barge, or other configuration, to/from a Miami River terminal Considerations: Potential markets Service geography Economics Terminal infrastructure and equipment needs Working throughput capacity OUTPUTS Feasibility assessment Implementation steps 8
River Capacity Analysis 9
Cargo and Barge Analysis Bridge Tender Data was received for lift bridges along Miami River. Study focused on: Brickell Avenue NW 17 th Avenue NW 27 th Avenue Scheduled vessels defined as those with schedules available on company websites. Unscheduled vessels defined as all other cargo and barge vessels. 10
Lift Bridge Analysis Vessels transiting bridges based on twohour intervals from the bridge tender data. Only those vessels requiring bridge lift. Cargo vessels are defined as cargo, barge, and tug vessels. Non-Cargo are defined as all other types of vessels. 11

Growth Opportunity Cargo Vessel Growth Availability Per Week Per Year Available Cargo Vessel Transits 42 2,184 (NB or SB) Available Vessels (NB and SB) 21 1,092 19
Growth Opportunity Significant reserve capacity for cargo movements. Demonstrated by prior shipping volume over 2x current level. Average ship capacity is larger: Larger ships relying on high tide movement. Fewer smaller shippers. 20
Short Sea Shipping Analysis 21
Short Sea Shipping (SSS) Definition: Movement of cargo in a coastal setting. Program would include a container-onbarge service between PortMiami and a marine terminal on the Miami River. 22
PortMiami Potential SSS Berths A B A B 23
Unloading Location Requirements Short Sea Shipping Requirement Ship to shore crane Reach stack or side loader Container storage Berth access Administrative building Ingress/egress point Mobile maintenance Quantity Required 2 cranes 2 cranes 4 acres 300 linear feet 1 building 1 lane each direction 1 truck 24
SSS Throughput Capacity Based on 2 vessels per day and operating up to 360 days per year, the SSS Program could transport up to 64,800 TEU per year from PortMiami. 25
SSS Feasibility Miami River Capacity Potential for additional 1,092 cargo vessels per year. Short Sea Shipping Program Potential for 64,800 TEU to move up Miami River ~6% of current PortMiami TEU volume). Dependent upon PortMiami operating constraints, cost differential, and inland port strategy. 26
SSS Considerations Minuses Buy-in from all stakeholders required. Additional cost associated with extra move. Requires identification of suitable SSS commodity movements. Increased container dwell within the region. PortMiami loading operations are in proximity to cruise terminal. Increased bridge lifts due to added cargo volume. 27
SSS Considerations Pluses Potential for decreased truck traffic. For locally-bound goods: Alternative to rail haul to Hialeah Alternative to truck drayage from PortMiami Possible contribution to future PortMiami throughput needs. Complement to inland port strategy? 28
Transportation Network Analysis 29
Freight Planning Scenarios Marine shipping and industrial truck trip growth: Trend: marine shipping and industrial trip growth per 2040 LRTP growth forecast Moderate Growth: 50% additional increase in marine shipping trips over Trend; other industrial +25% Aggressive Growth: 100% additional increase in marine shipping trips organic and/or SSS; other industrial +50% Travel model used to test network loads and capacity issues 30
