Abstract:This report has been prepared for Dr. Paul Rispin, Office of Naval Research (ONR), as part of the research conducted by the Volpe Center in collaboration with the Center for Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies (CCDoTT). The report, originally submitted in a Draft form on June 30, 2009, was intended to build on the multi-year research conducted at the Volpe Center and the CCDoTT on Agile Port Systems and High-Speed Ship technologies to assess the feasibility of dual-use deployment of the vessels. The project activities included the demonstration of the feasibility of domestic container feeder ports for a transportation and logistics system based on a generic short sea vessel focusing on the West Coast operations for both domestic and international traffic.
This report has been prepared by the Dr. Bahar Barami, Intermodal Infrastructure Security and Operations (RVT-51) and Mr. Mike Dyer, Infrastructure and Facility Engineering (RVT-63). Dr. Paul Rispin has authorized granting of a clearance for the report to be distributed to the members of the Committee on Marine Transportation System (CMTS) and the Integrated Action Team (IAT) for conducting and Assessment of the MTS. This revised version of the draft report reflects comments received from the ONR project sponsors, comments sent on September 10, 2009 by Tanya Rawson, Port and Intermodal Security Division, Department of Homeland Security, and comments sent by James Pugh, MARAD, on September 22, 2009.
