A marine transportation system especially applicable to Delaware Bay is presented. The central component is a man-made island that serves as a deepwater port. Components of the system include an air-sea cargo center, a trestle corridor connecting the cargo center to the island, a restricted access rail and highway corridor to up-state connections, a deepwater channel to the ocean, and provision for submarine pipeline access from outer continental shelf oil and gas fields, if these materialize. The objectives of the system are: first to provide the deepwater docking facilities required by modern, large economical ships; second to stimulate economic growth within Delaware and the surrounding region; third to increase the safety of marine transportation; fourth to develop a commercial center adjacent to Dover Air Force Base as an alternative to military use; and fifth to demonstrate Delaware's commitment to the future regional needs for transportation and energy within the existing environmental preservation standards.
