Example - NYC
An example of a Marine Highway service engaged in the movement of
waste materials is in the city of New York. The program involves the
collection of trash from various Marine Transfer Stations (MTS). The trash
is then stuffed into specialty configured containers. These containers are
then loaded onto barges for transport to another facility for disposal. The
system comprises of multi-modal transportation system involving truck,
barge and rail movement (as well as terminal handling).
The public befits includes:
-
-
-
-
create and sustain jobs in U.S. vessels, ports and shipyards
relieve landside congestion
reduce maintenance costs and improve the U.S. transportation
system's overall state-of-repair (wear and tear on roads and
bridges)
drive the mandatory use of emerging engine technologies
improve U.S. economic competitiveness by adding new cost-
effective freight and passenger transportation capacities
improve environmental sustainability of the U.S. transportation
system by using less energy and reducing air emissions (such as
greenhouse gases) per passenger or ton-mile of freight moved
improve public safety and security by providing alternatives for the
movement of hazardous materials outside heavily populated areas
improve transportation system resiliency and
redundancy by providing transportation alternatives during times
of disaster or national emergency
improve national security by adding to the nation's strategic sealift
resource
create new market for recycling operations and waste material

M-2 Marine Highway Designation for Puerto Rico
MARINE HIGHWAY M-2
Applicant: San Juan Port Commission
Supporters: The Ports of Ponce and marine/port facilities in Mayaguez, Ceiba
(former US Naval Station Roosevelt Roads), Yabucoa, Guanica, Guayama,
Guayanill, and Arebico.
Landside Route Served: Route-2
Route Description:
The M-2 Route includes the Caribbean Sea, and connecting commercial navigation
channels, ports, and harbors around the perimeter of Puerto Rico via San Juan,
Mayagüez, and Ponce.
Attributes:
Puerto Rico is served by just 250 miles of interstate highway and 169 miles of
noninterstate facilities. By 2020 this
system is expected to handle
approximately 492 million vehicle-miles of
travel. According to the Federal Highway
Administration, almost $1.4 billion will be
required over the next 20 years to
address congestionsourced problems.
Adding to this is the fact that 90 percent of
Puerto Rico's cargo arrives by water
(approximately 14 million tons), and 18
percent of its traffic is attributable to
M-2
trucks originating from the Port of San Juan alone. There is no rail system to
supplement goods movement by truck; as such, water represents the only potential
alternative.
This marine highway Route which circles the island and connects the vital sea
ports such as Ponce (Port of Las Americas), Mayaguez, Ceiba, Yabucoa,
Guanica, Guayama, Guayanilla, and Arecibo offers the potential to provide relief
for the movement of people and freight, especially into and out of the island's
sea ports.
