The United States is a maritime nation. From its origin as 13
former colonies to its place as the pre-eminent world power today,
our Nation's success has been dependent on our coastal ports and
inland waterways to conduct trade. Recognising the importance of
transportation to trade, the Nation had made a strong
intergenerational commitment to develop its transportation
networks. These networks of highways, railways and inland waterways
connect the interior of our country to our ports, which connect us
to the rest of the world. These transportation networks have
contributed to our success by providing a cost-efficient and
environmentally sustainable means to transport large quantities of
cargo over long distances and across oceans, keeping this Nation
competitive in world trade. This book provides an analysis of the
broad challenges and opportunities presented by the increasing
deployment of post-Panamax vessels and outlines options on how
Congress could address the port and inland waterway infrastructure
modernisation issues needed to accommodate those vessels.
