摘要: |
The Marine Transportation System (MTS) contributes to U.S. economic growth, enhances our global competitiveness, and supports national security objectives, among many other things. The MTS consists of an extensive network of waterways, ports, channels, cargo handlers and other transportation workers, intermodal facilities, and vessels. Each component of this system is dependent on the other for the smooth and efficient flow of waterborne trade, transportation, and U.S. foreign and domestic commerce. This report provides an update on major trends in marine infrastructure, maritime-related transportation services, domestic and international freight and passenger trade, the economic impact of the MTS, safety and environment, national security, and shipbuilding. In addition, this report presents information about the St. Lawrence Seaway and the U.S. Coast Guard. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Department of Transportation, Washington, DC.
