The study documents the benefits and costs of potential U.S. Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) in selected U.S. deep draft ports on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. The study analyzes historical vessel casualties and their consequences and projects future vessel casualties and consequences for 23 study zones. The study uses a benefit-cost approach and focuses on navigational risk measured in terms of probabilities of vessel collisions, rammings or groundings, and the human and environmental consequences and economic losses that attend vessel casualties.
