To meet the needs of carriers and shippers for an assessment of the market for refrigerated maritime transportation and of the U.S.-flag share of that market, the Maritime Administration examined the following: the present demand for refrigerated service; the future demand likely to be in existing trades; additional demand likely to be in new trades; capacity which U.S.-flag operators offer; their competitiveness with trading-partner fleets and cross-traders; planned new capacity; sufficient capacity to satisfy demand and meet competition technological, institutional, or operational innovations to expand U.S.-flag capacity competitively with foreign-flag carriers; investments required for the expanded service; freight rates required to support added investment at the projected utilization; and MARAD'S plans to support the U.S.-flag carriers to promote U.S.-flag participation in refrigerated trades.
