Abstract:

This study identifies NAFTA-induced market opportunities for Louisiana’s maritime sector and to help define the strategies, maritime services, and port infrastructure requirements necessary to exploit these opportunities. Identification of current deficiencies affecting such opportunities also needed to be referenced. The handling of niche cargoes such as perishables and steel or providing emerging maritime services such as trailer ferry operations or river/ocean services from the state’s ports as alternatives to land based transportation systems may provide the most effective means of maintaining a competitive advantage for Louisiana’s ports with trading partners such as Mexico.
