Marine craft available to satisfy a high speed criterion of 40 knots were surveyed. Performance data were collected and evaluated. Using Froude scaling, theoretical performance factors were estimated for each type craft - assuming a common carrying capacity of 1000 long tons and minimum 40 knots speed. Potential market applications were identified. Offshore supply, law enforcement, commuter ferry, military and freight service were considered. Opportunities were identified in both international and domestic trades, based on an analysis of commodity flows and opportunities for express freight service.
