This handbook is designed to provide a simple and reliable method of estimating the annual cargo throughput of ports and terminals of the United States. One of the principal ways simplification is accomplished in this handbook is through a device in which the user is provided with visual interpretations of idealized port terminals called modules. Each module consists of a plan sketch of a hypothetical typical terminal, a description of pertinent physical and operating characteristics, and a set of six cargo throughput components with modifier scales. Further simplification is accomplished by assigning an annual cargo throughput value to the module. This value, called the typical throughput, is based on questionnaire responses received from United States ports and indicates the most probable tonnage that might be transferred in a year by a similar real terminal.
