Abstract: A study prepared by the Global Commerce and Transport Group at IHS Global Insight for the Maritime Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation reflecting that current U.S. maritime policy supports the nation's domestic maritime trades, but does not encourage substantial U.S. participation in the international maritime trades. The report challenges maritime policy makers to ensure that the maritime system has adequate capacity and reliability to transport increasing volumes of cargo and numbers of people in an efficient and environmentally sound manner. The study recommends that policy makers better align the multi-modal transportation system -- ships, ports, rail, trucking, warehouses -- with the needs of the U.S. economy, which relies on a system of global supply chains and a highly complex coordination of people and equipment.
