US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) deep-draft navigation economicanalyses use assumptions about the sensitivity of vessel operations tochannel modification to estimate national economic development benefits.The complexity and proprietary nature of carrier deployment decisionsand loading practices adds uncertainty to USACE navigation studies. Thisreport attempts to provide an overview of containership deployment andloading practices as it relates to USACE navigation studies to improve thequality of deep-draft economics. The report relies on trade data, vesselorder books, and carrier interviews to study the impact of channelmodification on vessel loading and deployment. The report makesrecommendations for developing deployment and loading inputs forfuture economic evaluations. |
