Ports and Waterways Safety Assessment (PAWSA) workshops were completed in 28 ports around the United States between August 1999 and June 2001. Those PAWSA workshops were conducted to support the Office of Vessel Traffic Management (G-MWV) and the Vessel Traffic Services Project Manager (G- AVT) in their efforts to evaluate the need for and plan future vessel traffic management (VTM) projects, including installation and upgrades to Vessel Traffic Services (VTS). The PAWSA process also was designed to provide the Captain of the Port and local maritime community with a risk level baseline and a formal risk assessment process which can be used on a recurring basis to measure the effectiveness of VTM mitigations within their port. This report is the end product of a risk-based decision-making process established to ensure the safety of vessel traffic in U.S. ports and waterways in ways that meet waterway user and stakeholder needs. In addition to an overview of the PAWSA process, this report provides a comparative analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data collected from each port and general recommendations for national level VTM improvements based on that analysis. An appendix to this report for each port in which a PAWSA workshop was completed, organized by Coast Guard District, provides more detail about port safety risks and recommended risk mitigation strategies at the local and regional levels.
