The Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA) required the Department of Transportation (DOT) to study the state of competition in the noncontiguous domestic maritime trades. The study, Competition in the Noncontiguous Domestic Maritime Trades, was released by DOT in March 1997. In order to examine changes and trends in the domestic waterborne liner trade market that have occurred since the prior analysis, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) has prepared this new study. As in the prior analysis, the noncontiguous domestic maritime trades are those between the Mainland of the United States and Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. This analysis discusses the economic factors affecting the demand and supply of liner services in the domestic offshore markets, the extent of concentration and competition in each of these trades, and trends in liner shipping rates based on a detailed examination of data available to MARAD.
