VisionAmerica’s Marine Highways are a routine

intermodal choice among shippers and freight forwarders, providing reliable scheduled liner services;

Expanded use of Marine Highways make measurable improvements to environments impacted by transportation;

Shippers request Marine Highway services as a more efficient means of moving their goods because of both its cost effectiveness and its pubic benefits;

Marine Highway services are self sustaining and profitable across the U.S., using both ships and barges;

• Examining the potential for marine highway services to provide relief of congested landside corridors and to provide additional transportation options.

• Identifying types of vessels which would be suited for marine highway routes.

• Collecting data from various modes and sources regarding the most congested corridors and types of freight being moved.

• Identifying markets which could be served.

Initiatives & Market Studies

2008 CCDoTT Operational Dev of SSS to Serve the Pacific Coast

2009 NAASCO/General Dynamics: Shipbldrs Assessmt of Marine Highways

2011 Herbert Engineering & Mercator Dual Use Vessel Study

2012 TEC & Erik Stromberg M-5 West Coast Marine Highway Study

2012 The RNO Group M-55 Inland River Marine Highway Initiative

2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff M-95 East Coast Marine Highway Study

2012 CCDoTT 3 AMH Dual-Use Vessel Design Project

Describe why short sea shipping is considered and factors affecting its viability; the government's role in SSS development and issues to be considered by govt when making investment decisions re: freight mobility challenges

Assess viability of short sea operations on four potential domestic Corridors; as alternatives to overland freight transportation.

Analysis of short sea service along Pacific Coast handling domestic and feeder cargoes; using a door to door model

A shipbuilder's perspective based on previous two reports

Assess M-95,

M-5 and M-10 plus the

NEMH project

(Maine to NY/NJ) AMH markets & prepare 11

Ship concept designs

Conduct a study that examines the potential for Marine Highway service(s) to provide relief to the M-5 and connecting Marine Highway Corridors

Conduct a study that examines the potential for Marine Highway service(s) to provide relief to the M-55 and connecting Marine Highway Corridors

Conduct a study that examines the potential for Marine Highway service(s) to provide relief to the M-95 and connecting Marine Highway Corridors

Refine three of the 11 MARAD concepts with cost data and calculate RFRs

Global insights 2009

Transearch data base

FHWA's Freight Analysis Framework 2007; US Census Foreign trade Division trade data; US Census County Business Patterns; US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) regional economic data

Old fashioned market analysis within a targeted geographic area; work based on research, meetings and interviews

Corridors and services identified in the Marine Highway applications titled:• The AMH 1-95 Corridor Service Project (ports of New Bedford, Maryland, Canaveral);• New Jersey Marine Highway Platform as a Marine Highway Project

Builds on 2011 HEC market analysis with peer review confirmation

• Multiple shippers interviewed – key concerns are:

• Reliability• Consistency of schedule• Visibility• Cost• Risk of delays in ports

SHIPPER CONCERNS

Page 10: 2012 Freight in the Southeast  Conference America’s Marine Highway Services March 16, 2012 Lauren Brand, Director

Under current market and regulatory conditions, sustainability of services are difficult to predict

Therefore, policy and regulatory changes are required in order for services to be economically sustainable.

Bottom Line

• Government support for Ship Construction• Tax credits for shippers who use more

environmentally sustainable modes of transportation

• Investment in Port Infrastructure• Amend the Tonnage Tax for U.S. flag ships• Implement Marco Polo type startup assistance

Focus on States

MAP 21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century) S. 1813:

February 29, 2012 recommended for consideration by the Senate

Maritime projects will be able to compete in State DOT programs for:CMAQ fundsUp to $400 million for infrastructure projects

more cost effective than highway optionsUp to $1 billion for infrastructure projects of

national or regional significance

Page 14: 2012 Freight in the Southeast  Conference America’s Marine Highway Services March 16, 2012 Lauren Brand, Director

Focus on States

38 State DOTs influence America’s Marine Highways Which State DOT department will consider it?

9 = maritime, ports, waterways or marine 8 = planning 6 = intermodal 4 = freight 3 = rail & marine/railroads & harbors 1 = aviation & ports 1 = trade development 6= have no department that addresses maritime
