Port of Paulsboro – Delaware River Ship Traffic Modeling Study

This is a final report summarizing the impact of the work load brought by the Paulsboro Marine Terminal on the maritime traffic in the Delaware River Main Channel. Rutgers simulation model of the vessel traffic was modified to incorporate the Paulsboro Terminal for the impact analysis. This report presents metrics on the operational performance of the terminal and the expected vessel counts at some designated locations in the River. The results show that the terminal can easily handle the workload, and the increase in the vessel counts due to the Terminal’s integration is on the average one vessel a day and simply insignificant.
