PORT SYSTEM STUDY FOR THE PUBLIC PORTS OF WASHINGTON STATE AND PORTLAND, OREGON. VOLUME II. TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT. PART 6. PORT CAPACITY ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY

The objectives of the capacity analysis are to develop up-to-date and coordinated data on cargo handling and storage capability of subregions in the study area, to identify facilities development needed to meet future demands, and to provide a practical tool for usefully evaluating capacities of existing facilities for forecasting future capacities of ports. The conclusions reached regarding the need for future facilities for the various cargo movements are based on existing and new facilities being operated at full capacity as defined herein. This study does not attempt to define when these facilities should be constructed or at what level of capacity the ports should be operated.
