State of the Marine Transportation System International Maritime Statistics Forum Singapore 16 Apr 2007

National Challenge: Marine Transportation System  Value of all foreign trade represents nearly 30% of nation’s GDP (vs. 13% in 1970)  Overseas waterborne trade  95% of overseas trade by volume  75% of overseas trade by value  16 million jobs  About $2.3 trillion in economic activity  System nearing capacity  Cargo volumes projected to double by 2025  Already a generation behind in channel design – but West Coast in better shape  Capacity constraints increase transportation costs, pollution, congestion

Future of North American Container Trade with Asia (Thousands of TEUs) Asia-North America eastbound flows likely passed 6 million TEU in ‘06 Driven by People’s Republic of China to U.S. West Coast May reach 28 million TEU by 2022 Huge challenge to U.S. ports to handle this volume Source: Global Insight, Jun 04.

Deep Draft Challenges: Mega- ships “EMMA MAERSK” - 11,000+ TEUs Announced capacity 11,000 TEUs (But industry analysts say could range much higher.)

Present Situation Numerous alternatives related to electronic navigation dataNumerous alternatives related to electronic navigation data –WiFi vs. VHF –Kinematic vs. Differential GPS –Vector vs. Raster Inland Elec Nav Charts –Data storage/retrieval U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Inland Navigation Data Operational dataOperational data –Electronic Navigation Charts –Lock condition (availability, queue) –Real time current and wind velocities –River stage, water releases Statistical dataStatistical data –Lock activity and vessel activity at lock –Tow sizes –Commodities –Tonnage –Origin and destination of towboat, barge, commodity, and container U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
