      <title>PORT COLLECTION AND SEPARATION FACILITIES FOR OILY WASTES. VOLUME III: GENERAL DATA AND CONCEPTUAL PLANS FOR THE SURVEYED PORTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/58050</link>
      <description><![CDATA[At each port surveyed, local industry, facilities, methods of operation, plans for expansion, markets for recovered oil, local preferences, and local requirements for the discharge of treated water to streams, bays, or local sewage systems were studied.  An inventory was made of oily-waste collection, handling, and treatment facilities in existence, and oily-waste loads projected for 1975 and 1980 based on anticipated vessel activity.  Each port plan begins with a collection system.  Several feasible collection methods were studied and the best one selected based on the estimated loads, local operation methods, preferences, and costs. Considering the local market for recovered oil and other criteria mentioned above, a preferred treatment and disposal system was selected and the profitability of the system analyzed for the nominal load, half this load, and twice the load.  This volume gives the background data, estimated waste loads and the conceptual collection-treatment-oil recovery/disposal plan for each of the surveyed ports.]]></description>

      <title>AN ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PORT OF LONGVIEW IN COWLITZ COUNTY, WASHINGTON</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/156808</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A 1979 economic impact assessment of the Port of Longview recently estimated the economic effect of the Port on Cowlitz County.  This assessment, a result of survey information derived from industries dependent of the Port for waterborne transportation and firms directly needed for the movement of waterborne cargo, provided sales and revenue dollar and employment estimates enabling impact calculations.  The Port is directly responsible for generating an estimated $65,000,000 in sales and revenues into the county economy. Of this figure, the Port had sales and revenues of over $9,000,000. When secondary rounds of economic transactions were considered, it was estimated that an additional $71,000,000 in indirect and induced sales and revenues were generated into the county economy. The Port employed approximately 340 people in administration, clerical, stevedoring and various other functions and generated another estimated 860 jobs within the county.  The total direct payroll estimated to be over $18,000,000.  These jobs were in firms dependent on the Port for some portion of their sales and revenues. When secondary rounds of impact were considered, the Port was responsible for an estimated additional indirect and induced labor force of 1165.  The total payroll impact, when secondary rounds of economic transactions were considered was estimated to be over $30,000,000.  In terms of economic impact on Cowlitz County, the Port of Longview could be considered a vital force to the county economy.]]></description>

      <title>THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF VIRGINIA'S PORTS ON THE COMMONWEALTH</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/156389</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The most important finding of this report is that the port of Hampton Roads is a major economic factor in the creation of jobs, payroll, and taxes in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The port is crucial to the economic diversification, growth, and development of Virginia's economy.  Information necessary to calculate the economic impact of the port was obtained through a comprehensive survey of the following industries (firms): those dealing directly with the shipping and handling of cargo; and those who export or import sections along the ship.  The Helmholtz equation problem is with personal interviews with port and industry officials. A detailed discussion of the survey design and response rate is presented and the methodology used to calculate tax revenues is discussed in the appendixes.]]></description>

      <title>RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF PUGET SOUND NAVAL SHIPYARD BREMERTON, WASHINGTON, AND ENVIRONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/57624</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Eastern Environmental Radiation Facility (EERF) of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in cooperation with the U. S. Naval Ship Systems command (NAVSHIPS) has conducted radiological surveillance programs in a number of ports which serve nuclear-powered vessels. These studies were begun in 1963 and have been conducted at ports on the East, West, and Gulf Coasts of the Continental United States and in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. These studies were undertaken to determine if nuclear-powered vessel operations, including berthing, repair, and servicing, had resulted in environmental radioactivity levels which could contribute a detectable radiation exposure to the public. The survey of the harbor at Bremerton, Washington, in October 1974, was the latest in this series.]]></description>

      <title>RELIABILITY OF COMMODITY FREIGHT PROJECTIONS FOR INLAND WATERWAY PORTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/73497</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Feasibility studies recommending construction of ports, terminals, or industrial complexes along U.S. inland waterways rely heavily on projections of commodity freight. Tabulated results of projections versus realized results obtained from 12 ports on the inland waterways navigation system indicate that projections of commodity freight made in connection with port development have almost always been too low.  Reliable projections of freight by commodity classification are essential in physical port planning, and projections of the amount of freight can be helpful when they indicate a median projection and a stated wide variation above and below that median.]]></description>

      <title>ECONOMIC IMPACT OF WATERBORNE TRANSPORTATION OF THE PORT OF BALTIMORE ON THE STATE OF MARYLAND</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/71613</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper examines several concepts that should allow port planners to conduct economic impact studies for their respective port areas.  Economic impact studies are useful to aid public bodies in investment decisions.  That is to say, help them decide how best to allocate scarce resources in the public investment decisions since various types of cargoes are competing for scare space and investment dollars.  Economic development has been related to the development of waterborne commerce.  This snapshot approach gives the planner a data base from which to project economic development impacts of future investment decisions.  This paper examines the types of imports (direct and indirect), as well as primary and induced imports.  It further looks at the various types of imports and their measurement.]]></description>

      <title>PORT SYSTEM STUDY FOR THE PUBLIC PORTS OF WASHINGTON STATE AND PORTLAND, OREGON. VOLUME I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/63310</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Port System Study for the public ports of Washington State and Portland, Oregon examines the actions required to maintain a system of maritime ports capable of meeting the future requirements of foreign and domestic trade. The study forecasts waterborne commerce and changes in shipping and cargo handling technologies to the year 2000. The study then translates these anticipated changes into port facility needs and financial requirements over the same period. Finally the study recommends an organizational approach for coordinating future port developments, thereby ensuring the most effective use of public funds. The study is intended to serve as a comprehensive base for cooperative regional port planning and development activities.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/63307</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Forest products is a major industry in the Pacific Northwest and as such generates large volumes of cargo for the ports of the region. The principal commodities handled by some ports are almost entirely forest products, consisting principally of lumber, logs, and wood chips. The analysis of forest products is separated from the other commodities handled in domestic and foreign trade, and projections of their future movements estimated independently.]]></description>
