This book was released on 1999-03-17 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future safety of maritime transportation in the United States-a major factor in the nation's international trade and economic well-being-will depend heavily on the quality of port and waterways information systems. Many U.S. ports and waterways lack adequate information services, although certain elements of advanced systems are now available in some locations. Barriers to improvements in information systems include the division of responsibilities for waterways management among multiple agencies at all levels of government, a lack of coordination among the federal agencies responsible for waterways management, inadequate budgets for some critical maritime programs, the high costs of some specialized technologies, stakeholder opposition to user fees, limited access to certain key data, the incompatibility of many independently developed systems, and the absence of standards for some attractive technologies. In this report, the second phase of a three-year study by the Committee on Maritime Advanced Information Systems of the National Research Council, a strategy is presented for overcoming the major barriers and deficiencies and providing a minimum level of maritime safety information nationwide. In this phase of the study, the committee concentrated on maritime information systems that promote safety, which is the area of greatest need. The committee did not examine in detail the relationship between navigation safety and maritime transportation efficiency or evaluate information systems that promote efficiency; the committee believes, however, that these issues deserve further attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB Special Report 279 - The Marine Transportation System and the Federal Role: Measuring Performance, Targeting Improvement calls upon the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to take the lead in assessing the performance of and improving the nation's entire marine transportation system. In particular, the report recommends that the DOT should begin immediately to develop reports on the condition, performance, and use of the marine transportation system and seek a mandate from Congress to produce such reports on a regular basis, as it already does for the nation's highway and transit systems.

This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique report was issued in December 2018. The Marine Transportation System (MTS) plays a critical role in United States commerce and security, facilitating the movement of over two billion tons of goods annually. This critical function is often at risk as the MTS is susceptible to the impacts of weather and climate hazards, such as hurricanes. The 2017 hurricane season was a record year for the U.S. and its territories with four of six major hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. and impacting coastal communities and the infrastructure they rely upon. Three of these hurricanes received most of the attention for their major impacts across the Gulf Coast, Florida, and the Caribbean territories: Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Each of these hurricanes was unique and required MTS stakeholders to adjust response and recovery operations to better serve communities in need. Since these adjustments were often made ad-hoc and after the major response and recovery phases were over, there is a great need to review performance, identify best practices, and ensure that the MTS agencies, owners, and operators utilize this new information to be better prepared for future storms. The purpose of this report to describe and understand the impacts, challenges, and successes of the 2017 storm season from the perspective of multiple Federal agencies that manage and operate the MTS. To accomplish this, the report reviews each storm in chronological order, identifying the impacts, challenges, and successes of each. The second objective of the report is to review this information to identify key trends that were common across all major hurricanes during the 2017 hurricane season and identify best practices and opportunities for improving resilience. The final purpose of this report is to utilize the four-step resilience framework to identify recommendations for increasing the ability of the MTS to prepare, resist, recover, and adapt to and from future storms.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.Much has been learned from past hurricanes like Katrina and Sandy as to how to enhance the coordination of federal and non-federal stakeholders and partners increase the resilience and rapid recovery of the MTS to hurricanes. This report describes the importance of the MTS to impacted regions, and for each hurricane, identifies the unique impact factors, the major challenges, pre-storm actions, and successes encountered throughout the response and recovery effort. Using this information, the report aggregates existing best practices for response and recovery, identifies several opportunities to enhance response and recovery actions, and conducts an exercise to identify and recommend the most feasible and impactful actions that can be undertaken to increase the ability of the MTS to prepare, respond/recover, and adapt to future storms.
