摘要：	This report estimates the economic benefits derived from the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) installation at Houston/Galveston. We estimate benefits in dollar terms to the extent possible, and also describe non-quantifiable benefits. Sources of economic benefit from Houston/Galveston PORTS information include: Greater draft allowance/increased cargo capacity and reduced transit delays for commercial maritime transportation (water level information). Reduced risk of groundings/allisions for maritime traffic (currents and wind information). Enhanced recreational use of Galveston Bay by boaters and fishermen (winds, weather forecasts, and other information). Improved environmental/ecological planning and analysis, including hazardous material spill response. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Rockville, MD. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
