This is the second report on shallow draft inland river public port capital expenditures published by the Maritime Administration (MARAD) in cooperation with industry. The report analyzes investments in shoreside facilities and examines the financing methods used by the shallow draft port industry for 1998, as well as historic data through 1997. Other port data, such as type of operation and type of governance, are also included. The survey data were obtained for MARAD by two industry associations, the National Waterways Conference (NWC) and the Inland Rivers, Ports & Terminals, Inc. (IRPT). The agency wishes to thank the 45 ports that responded to the survey. These organizations are listed in Appendix A. |
