America’s Marine Highway

Vision of the Marine Highway Program

The full integration of reliable, regularly scheduled, competitive, and sustainable Marine Highway services into the surface transportation system that are a routine choice for shippers.

• Includes 25,000 miles of waterways, rivers, coastlines and the Great Lakes
• Expands use of navigable waterways to reduce highway congestion and air

pollution

• Provides new, economically sustainable, supply chain alternatives

• Proposed Projects must be located on a designated Marine Highway Route
• A public/private partnership between ports, vessel operators, labor, and most

importantly, shippers!

• A solid business case including analysis of competing modes (truck and rail)
• An efficient operational plan
• Adequate capital for start up and initial operations
• A coordinated promotion effort by key stakeholders

PROGRAM INITIATIVES

StrongPortsTM Program

Port Conveyance Program

SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY

• Federal real estate properties that are no longer needed by the Federal Government may

be made available for public uses to State and local governments, regional agencies, or non-profit organizations.

• Port Conveyance Program transfers eligible property for the purpose of building or

establishing port related operations and services.

• Over 2,800-acres of former Federal property transferred to States and local

governments, at no cost to communities.

• Supply Chain Optimization
• Commodity / Modal Shifts

Kentucky Ohio Indiana

• Energy – handles liquid bulk, has pipelines, tanks and berths for very large vessels; needs

extra depth at berth.

• Ro/Ro (roll on/roll off) – handles vehicle and heavy equipment exports and imports; needs

ramps, docks with width, may offer value added services for vehicle prep.

• Break bulk – handles steel, forest products, refrigerated products not in containers; needs

laydown yards, specialized warehousing, may need fumigation services.

• Bulk – handles aggregates for construction and road building, fertilizers for agriculture,

agricultural exports such as rice, wheat, soy, etc.; may have silos or warehouses near dock,

• r be connected by conveyor belts; may need extra depth at berth.
• Container - needs larger contiguous acres, cranes and equipment to move containers, may

need fumigation services; vessels can be very large, needs extra depth at berth. PORT TYPOLOGY

• Cruise – cruise facilities are best separated from cargo operations at ports for safety of passengers, but

they must also accommodate provisioning by 75 or more trucks per vessel per day as well as baggage from passengers; cruise ship ‘home ports’ are those where passengers board the vessel and return at the end of the cruise – these need safe, secure parking facilities within a close walk, a nearby airport and facilities for buses, taxis and rental cars; ‘ports of call’ are those where the vessel arrives for less than a day to allow passengers to visit the region. These require safe, accessible transit options such as bus or taxi for passengers. All cruise ports are required to accommodate needs of vessel crew members.

• Space – handles rockets for refurbishment, drone barges/vessels, proximity to hangar, needs adequate

room for operations.
