Abstract:The goal of the study is to explore an alternative to the primary use of trucks for outbound delivery or pickup of food products in the New York Metropolitan Area from Hunts Point Terminal Market (HPTM). The alternative proposed is the use of waterborne transportation, e.g., barges or freight ferries, as part of the food outbound-distribution system. The study’s objective is to quantify the potential demand for waterborne services from which vehicle mile savings will be determined. The waterborne vessel will be loaded with food products at HPTM and moved (self-propelled or pulled) to a strategically located predetermined site in the New York Metropolitan Area. Customers will pick up their preordered food products from this site. After the waterborne vessel is discharged, it will travel back to HPTM for the next day’s operations.
