Abstract:This study assesses the benefits and costs to the marine community of the expansion and/or retention of the Central Pacific LORAN-C chain. Included are projections through the year 2000 for user and government costs and benefits, user populations, traffic flows and trade patterns. User populations are defined in terms of large and small commercial vessels, fishing and commercial sport fishing vessels and pleasure craft. Trade and traffic flows are characterized by principal commodity, vessel type, origin,destination and vessel routing. Measures of comparative system value include benefit/cost ratios, benefits and costs per vessel mile, and benefits and costs per square mile cf signal coverage. Also included are case studies of marine groundings in the Hawaiian archipelago, studies of current and future directions of the fishing industry in the Hawaiian Islands and future trends for recreational boating in the region.
