Future of North American Container Trade with Asia (Thousands of TEUs) • • Asia-North America eastbound flows likely passed 6 million TEU in ‘ 06 Driven by People’s Republic of China to U. S. West Coast May reach 28 million TEU by 2022 Huge challenge to U. S. ports to handle this volume Source: Global Insight, Jun 04.

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Coastal and Inland River Information Service Inter-Agency Initiative International Maritime Statistics Forum Singapore 16 Apr 2007

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers • • • Introduction Numerous Real-time electronic transmission of data between navigation locks and industry is beginning to happen. Numerous Federal agencies have a responsibility for the collection and dissemination of domestic navigation information. An Industry and Federal Government partnership is required.

Domestic Federal Navigation Data Requirements U. S. Army Corps of Engineers FEDERAL DOD CORPS TRANSCOM Departments DOD – Department of Defense DHS – Department of Homeland Security DOT – Department of Transportation DOA – Department of Agriculture DOC – Department of Commerce DHS USCG DOT CBP MARAD BTS Agencies CORPS – Army Corps TRANSCOM - United States Transportation Command USCG – United States Coast Guard CBP – Customs and Border Protection DOA SLSDC DOC USDA NOAA MARAD – Maritime Administration BTS – Bureau of Transportation Statistics SLSDC – St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation USDA – U. S. Department of Agriculture NOAA – National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers • • • Current Initiatives Automated Identification Service (AIS): USCG Barg. Ex: Industry River. Net: Port of Pittsburgh/Corps Real Time Current Velocity (RTCV): Corps/USCG Regional Transportation Security System Coalitions (RTSC)/Portland: Industry/TSA Locks Visibility Mgmt Systems (LVMS): Corps Mississippi State University/Oakridge National Laboratory Grant (MSU/ONL): DOT Lock Performance Monitoring System (LPMS), Operations & Maintenance of Navigation Installations (OMNI): Corps Vessel Tracking System (VTS) for Certain Dangerous Cargoes (CDC’s): Corps/USCG SMART Lock: Port of Pittsburgh

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers • Present Situation Numerous alternatives related to electronic navigation data – – Wi. Fi vs. VHF Kinematic vs. Differential GPS Vector vs. Raster Inland Elec Nav Charts Data storage/retrieval

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers • Inland Navigation Data Operational data – – • Electronic Navigation Charts Lock condition (availability, queue) Real time current and wind velocities River stage, water releases Statistical data – – – Lock activity and vessel activity at lock Tow sizes Commodities Tonnage Origin and destination of towboat, barge, commodity, and container

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Industry Issues • Concern for numerous initiatives and developing Federal requirements with perceived minimal interagency coordination • Industry wants to see Federal standards developed • Industry concerned with protection of proprietary information • An Industry and Government partnership is required.

Coastal & River Information Services (CRIS) U. S. Army Corps of Engineers • • • Integrates and leverages current initiatives Borrows concepts from EU’s River Information Services Classifies data by: Ø Ø Ø • Input – What’s collected Transmittal - Services to Mariners Needs Based on a Public-Private Partnership

CRIS Data and Information Process U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Information and Data Requirements Data Gaps Existing Systems CMTS Data IAT NOT NEEDED CMTS Technology IAT Missing Filled Needed Eliminate

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Next Steps for CRIS • Use the U. S. Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS) for interagency coordination • Create Interagency/Industry product delivery team (PDT) • Partnership with industry via PDT – MTSNAC, IWUB, AWO, IWC • Identify requirements • Harmonize Federal data definitions for domestic data • Establish one Federal set of standards for industry reporting • Align with International and Inter-modal standards • Coordinate with Federal international efforts – ITDS, WCO

U. S. Army Corps of Engineers • Long Term Solution Technology Origin GPS (WHERE & WHEN) – GPS – Standardized Electronic Data – Data Provided by Industry Databases • Partnerships – – • Federal Government Associations Industry Service Provider Lock Reporting Point Result – Geographically accurate, timely, consistent and complete data. • Industry Incentive – – Fleet Management Tool First In Line Reduced IWFT & HMF Free Equipment Destination Service Provider Subscribers (WHO) Subscribers Industry (WHAT)
