The objective of this study is to design and implement a data base of deepwater seaport characteristics within the Continental United States. Both military and civilian ports are considered. The study includes only general, container, roll-on/roll-off cargo; and petroleum and petroleum products. Data sources include verifiable and referenced documents. Data for the port data base are segregated into three groups: port data, harbor data, and material handling equipment. Data grouping provides an added advantage for computer input and handling. The JRS2 (Joint Reporting System-2) data base management system was created to manage the data base. It satisfies the basic requirements for data base query and continuous update and is cost-effective and convenient.
