The purpose of this study was to ascertain the need for a shipping management center dedicated to achieving significant advances in shipping management. The study addresses two specific activities; namely, (1) ascertaining a need for a shipping management center and (2) providing a facility design, specification and implementation plan. A need for the center was established through an industry-wide interview of all sectors of the U.S. Shipping Community including ocean-going, inland waterways and Great Lakes. In addition, academic institutions and industry associations were contacted to obtain their perceptions of a shipping management center. Finally, the foreign shipping community including academic institutions and industry associations were interviewed to establish the level of shipping management-related activities in the European community. The results of the interviews were summarized and the recommendation to proceed to the second activity was made. Specification and design for facilities and programs are included herein. The report also provides conclusions and recommendations concerning how to proceed with the implementation of the Shipping Management Center.
