| 摘要： | In her first State of the Coast Guard address, Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, spoke of the major economic roles played by the nation's 14,000 miles of waterways on inland rivers, its ports and the Great Lakes. "The importance of river transportation was made clear this past fall," Fagan said. "Extreme low water levels on the Mississippi River restricted vessel traffic, making it difficult for Midwestern farmers to get their harvest to market." She recalled how the Coast Guard's inland river cutter fleet worked feverishly to reset the buoys marking the shifting channels. Fagan also spoke of new technologies, including offshore wind turbines, increased commercial space operations and threats to cyberspace, that are increasing the demand for operations throughout the Marine Transportation System, which moves more than 90 percent of the nations imports and exports. |
