The Maritime Administration and Sea-Land Service, Inc., jointly undertook this study of a coastwise shipping service in the U.S. Gulf and East Coasts. The service investigated was one that would have the potential to handle domestic cargo in coastwise movement, and international relay cargo from secondary ports to load center ports. The principal findings were: the potential market for a waterborne feeder system in 1980 will include over 5 million TEU's of containerable international shipments and over 1.6 million TEU's of containerable domestic cargo; competitive factors will limit the market share that a feeder system can obtain; four feeder systems offer the opportunity for high load factors; the candidate feeder systems can capture over 170,000 TEU's of international cargo annually; feeder system costs are generally higher than the overland alternative but, depending upon the specific conditions, can be competitive with a direct call by the line haul vessel; although the legal framework does not encourage the development of feeder systems, it does not prohibit or severely limit them; and the overall impact of the proposed feeder system on the U.S. economy will exceed $475 million over a 20-year span.
