Comments on a proposed rule requiring double walls and double ends for specified tank barges suggested that such regulations might not be economically feasible. The Maritime Administration and the Coast Guard accordingly initiated a joint study effort to assess the relative construction and life cycle costs of various inland tank barge designs, both existing and hypothetical, and to examine product spill and hull damage performance of existing tank barges. This publication is the final report of the joint study effort.
