Abstract: The survey will be used to obtain more detailed information on the freight-based transportation sectors than currently available from other sources; obtain information on the change in costs (operational and handling costs) since 1999 of terminal operators and ocean-going vessels. Potential new expenditure categories that will be explored include security (including screening equipment, perimeter fencing, and identification tag systems), environmental (including alternatively fueled terminal vehicles, electric cranes and “cold iron” vessel electrical outlets), and new technology investments. The focus is on those ongoing expenditure categories where trends and developments indicate that substantial changes have occurred. These categories include security-related expenditures (including security and screening expenditures), fuel, labor, and inland transportation expenditures. As part of this assessment, the team will identify whether such options as short haul container rail shuttles should be added to MARAD’s Marine Transportation Economic Impact Model (Port Kit).
