Marine Highway Studies

Three Routes Studied (M-5, M-55, & M-95)

  • Market Analysis
  • Operation/Infrastructure Analysis
  • Business Case

Major Findings

  • Where the geography and market were favorable,

services could work services could work

  • Infrastructure gaps and modal connectivity need to be

addressed

  • Handling costs and vessel operations continue to be

the major cost drivers M t b t f t t l l h i k

Lessons Learned for forming Marine Highway Services Highway Services

  • It takes a village! Partnerships must be

formed among the State DOTs MPOs Port formed among the State DOTs, MPOs, Port Authorities, Terminal Operators, Service Operators, Logistics Providers/Shippers and p , g pp Federal Agencies (i.e. U.S. Customs)

  • Communication and Cooperation
  • In-depth Market Analysis
  • Sufficient start up capital

p p

  • Part of a complete, door to door supply chain
  • Value-added services as part of the total

p service package

  • When will I get it?
  • How much will it cost me?

StrongPorts Program

Legislation: Authorizes Port Infrastructure Development Program (2010 National Defense Authorization Act (PL 111-84)) Purpose: Promote, Encourage, Develop Ports and Transportation Facilities in Connection with Water Commerce

  • Secretary of Transportation, through the Maritime Administrator

y p , g “shall establish a port infrastructure development program for the improvement of port facilities.”

  • Provide technical assistance as needed for project planning,

p j p g, design and construction.

  • Coordinate with Federal agencies to expedite NEPA.

C di t i i t ith l l t t d f d l

  • Coordinate reviews or requirements with local state and federal

agencies.

  • Receive (Federal, non-Federal, private) funds to further projects.

StrongPorts Program

Primary Objective:

  • Improve state of repair capacity efficiency and environmental

Improve state of repair, capacity, efficiency and environmental sustainability of all U.S. ports.

  • Leverage existing programs where possible
  • Improve port competitiveness for public (Federal, State and local)

d i t f d th h h d l i d t Factors, Goals and Methodologies to Consider and private funds through enhanced planning and engagement

  • Ensure Federal role is appropriate to circumstances – Right Size,

not Super Size

  • Competition among/between ports is essential – minimize impact
  • Program must be effective with no new Federal Funds – New
  • Program must be effective with no new Federal Funds – New

money only increases scope of program benefits.

  • Address the real challenges ports face, not perceived - Consensus
  • Program should benefit all ports, not just a select few.

StrongPorts Initiatives - 2014

A Collection of Investment Plan Best Practices and Tools, Developed by industry experts under a cooperative agreement between AAPA and the Maritime Administration agreement between AAPA and the Maritime Administration Working with State Departments of Transportation, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and ports to include water transportation in State freight and passenger transportation plan transportation plan

slide-18
SLIDE 18

A joint venture between AAPA, a working group of 57 industry expert volunteers, and the Maritime Administration. Toolkit will help ports obtain funding by developing investment grade plans that:

  • Clearly identify future port needs;
  • Determine the most cost-effective, sustainable and efficient

solutions to port problems; and solutions to port problems; and

  • Get port infrastructure projects into MPO and state

transportation programs in order to receive formula funding; funding;

  • Position port projects for federal funding such as TIGER

grants; and

  • Assist ports in obtaining private sector investment funds.
