‒ Stakeholder visits
▪ Assessment of existing conditions
▪ Corridor analysis‒ Roadway and rail needs
‒ Short Sea Shipping
‒ River Capacity
‒ Waterway needs
▪ Cost estimates
▪ Recommendations
7
Special StudiesRiver 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

River Capacity Analysis

Cargo and Barge Analysis
▪ Bridge Tender Data was received for lift bridges along Miami River. Study focused on:
‒ Brickell Avenue
‒ NW 17th Avenue
‒ NW 27th 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 two-
hour 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.

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.

Short Sea Shipping Analysis
21
Short Sea Shipping (SSS)
▪ Definition: Movement of cargo in a coastal
setting.
▪ Program would include a container-on-
barge service between PortMiami and a
marine terminal on the Miami River.

Unloading Location
Requirements
Short Sea Shipping
Requirement
Quantity Required
Ship to shore crane 2 cranes
Reach stack or side loader 2 cranes
Container storage 4 acres
Berth access 300 linear feet
Administrative building 1 building
Ingress/egress point 1 lane each direction
Mobile maintenance 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 ConsiderationsMinuses
▪ 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 ConsiderationsPluses
▪ 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
