Abstract:

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) has conducted this study to determine the need and opportunity for establishing a Container Barge Feeder Service along Long Island Sound between the Port of New York and New Jersey (NY&NJ) and the various deep water ports in Connecticut. The feasibility of providing container barge service in Connecticut focuses on the existing ports in Bridgeport, New Haven, and New London. The emphasis of this study is to determine the opportunity to promote the diversion of truck traffic from the congested southwest corridor roadways (particularly Interstate 95) to waterborne travel as an alternative mode of transportation. The methods of container barge service operations that are considered in this investigation are Roll On/Roll Off (RO/RO) and Lift On/Lift Off (LO/LO). This study investigated existing bulk and container barge services along Long Island Sound. Various barge and port operators provided information regarding their operations and physical assets. The existing terminal facilities in the study corridor were analyzed to determine their appropriateness for accommodating a new container barge feeder service. New terminal requirements were then identified that would be needed in addition to the existing infrastructure. Figures, tables, appendices, bibliography. (80 p.; 2.5 Mb)
