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

2006 Global Insight & Reeve and Assoc: Four Corridor Case 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

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
9
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
10
11
• Revision in the collection of the Harbor Maintenance Tax
• 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
program• Fund LNG fuel distribution capability• Ensure users and beneficiaries pay for services
commensurate with costs of providing them.

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
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
Next Steps 2012•MTSNAC –
Marine Highway Subcommittee
•Regional Roundtables
•Issue “Call for Projects”
