The picture can't be displayed. The picture can't be displayed. The picture can't be displayed. Different cargoes and passengers require different port infrastructure:
move containers, may need fumigation services; vessels can be very large, needs extra depth at berth
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
required to accommodate needs of vessel crew members.

Different cargoes and passengers require different port infrastructure:
very large vessels; needs extra depth at berth
exports and imports; needs ramps, docks with width, may offer value added services for vehicle prep
not in containers; needs laydown yards, specialized warehousing, may need fumigation services
fertilizers for agriculture, agricultural exports such as rice, wheat, soy, etc.; may have silos or warehouses near dock, or be connected by conveyor belts; rail access, may need extra depth at berth
fishing fleet to raft up, or discharge alongside the dock. May have waterfront freezer or fish processing facilities nearby.
7
Different cargoes and passengers require different port infrastructure:
proximity to hangar, needs adequate room for operations and possibly a clean room in proximity to the dock, special road connectors may be required to accommodate high, wide and heavy loads.

On October 8, 1996, the President signed the Maritime Security Act of 1996 establishing the Maritime Security Program (MSP)
On November 24, 2003, the President signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2004, which contained the Maritime Security Act of 2003 reauthorizing the MSP for FY 2006 through FY 2015
On January 2, 2013, the President signed the NDAA of 2013 (H.R. 4310) extending the current MSP to FY 2016 through FY 2025
The NDAA of 2013 requires that the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to establish a fleet of active, commercially viable, militarily useful, privately-owned vessels to meet national defense and other security requirements
MSP Ships receive a subsidy and all operating agreements are currently filled by 60 ships
MSP ship crews are a major source for the DOD surge fleet and contributes approximately 2,400 mariner positions to the U.S. deepwater seafarer base

Initiated in 1976 - Subset of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) program to
support the rapid worldwide deployment of U.S. military forces.
6 ships in 1977; 102 ships in 1994
Currently 46 ships
Maintained in 5 and 10-day readiness status by commercial U.S. ship managers that are under contract for maintenance and repair, activation, manning, and operation.
The RRF provides nearly one-half of the government-owned surge sealift capability.
