| 摘要： | This report summarizes data collected in a Maritime Administration (MARAD) survey of operators of U.S. flag dry bulk vessels on the Great Lakes. The objective of the survey was to learn more about the Great Lakes operations and the critical issues faced by the operators, as well as to obtain important information that is not available from existing data. Sidebars are used throughout the report to present salient data that was not collected as part of the survey but which can provide the reader with background information relevant to the survey. For example, data available to MARAD indicates that the seven survey respondents accounted for 93 percent of Great Lakes domestic (Lakewise) traffic in 2004. For the same period, the respondents operated 51 dry bulk vessels (including 4 integrated tug barge units (ITBs)). The remaining traffic was carried by tankers and conventional barges. The data also indicate a highly volatile trade, fluctuating between 114 and 90 million tons per year over the last five years. Respondents attributed this volatility primarily to economic and seasonal factors. In some cases the carriers answers were weighted by their 2004 traffic figures to derive meaningful average responses for use in this report. The survey was designed and conducted in September, 2005 by staff of MARADs Office of Statistical and Economic Analysis (OSEA). OSEA received valuable input and advice from James Weakley and Glen Nekvasil of the Lake Carriers Association and Floyd Miras of MARADs Great Lakes Region office. The questionnaire is appended. |
