This Congressionally mandated study reviews transportation research and technology development in the U.S. with special emphasis on the marine transportation system (MTS). The United States relies on the MTS to maintain its role as a global trading nation. The waterways, ports, intermodal connections, vessels, vehicles, manufacturing facilities, and information systems that form the core infrastructure of this system face daunting challenges in the coming years to keep up with the anticipated doubling and tripling of demand and the need for increased security.
