This report presents the findings of Phase II of the study 'High Speed Ferries and Coastwise Vessels: Evaluation of Parameters and Markets for Application.' The goal of the study was to define a commercially viable coastal shipping system that could relieve congestion on land-based transport arteries and at the same time can be utilized for defense related mobilizations. This report addresses the following tasks: Assessment of cargo potentials, including cargo flows served by land-based and marine transport modes; Review of available and mature designs of vessels and port systems; Analysis of several operating systems, including performance and cost (required freight rates); Assessment of military application.
