The economic and environmental advantages generally associated with deepwater ports and the expected continued U.S. reliance on large quantities of imported oil suggest that the development of a mid-Atlantic deepwater port may be in the national interest. It deserves attention at this time. Industry is planning to construct and operate deepwater ports off Louisiana and Texas. GAO recommends that the Secretary of Transportation complete a study of the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of a mid-Atlantic deepwater port by December 31, 1978. The Secretary should also submit to the Congress a plan for the port's development unless the study finds that some other option is more desirable.
