The purpose of this study is to provide the Philadelphia District of the Corps of Engineers with a detailed analysis of the benefits to be gained through the improvement of the six federally authorized anchorages along the Delaware River, updating of the costs associated with these improvements, and preliminary benefit-to-cost ratios for the improvements and alternatives considered. The six anchorages considered in this study are Reedy Point, Deepwater Point, Marcus Hook, Mantua Creek, Gloucester and Port Richmond Anchorages. The work includes projecting future vessel traffic along the Delaware River; studying the costs and likelihood of accidents, especially those involving oil spills; determining the costs of operational delays and cargo lightering that are a consequence of anchorage conditions; considering the possible impacts of a proposed deepwater port off Delaware Bay and improvements to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal on anchorage usage; and preparing conclusions on the feasibility of improving the anchorages.
