Work in this study included obtaining public port physical, economic, and institutional data to assist in defining the current characteristics of the public port system. Commodity data gathered included foreign export/import commodity data, domestic coast wise receipts, and shipments data with forecasts made for the years 1980, 1990, and 2000. Forecasts also were made of marine and port technologies for the current and future time periods. Expert judgment was applied to assess impacts of potential future changes which cannot be determined from historical trends.
