The survey included the capital expenditures for 2001 and proposed expenditures for the period 2002 through 2006 along with the funding sources used to finance these expenditures. The survey data were obtained by AAPA from its U.S. corporate membership. Their U.S. members, public port agencies, represent virtually all the major deep-draft coastal and Great Lakes ports. This year's survey included responses from 54 (62%) of the 87 U.S. members. Those port agencies responding to the 2001 survey included 22 out of the top 25 2001 U.S. container ports. The respondents also included 18 out of the top 25 ports handling U.S. foreign and domestic waterborne cargo for 2001. Public port agencies own approximately one-third of the U. S deep-draft marine terminal facilities. This report is the twelfth in a series that continues the capital expenditure survey of U.S. public ports first begun by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1956. Subsequent reports were published by the AAPA and currently by the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD). In 1991, MARAD published the United States Port Development Expenditure Report, which summarized the findings of the earlier expenditure efforts as well as several AAPA capital expenditure surveys. That report provided a 44-year history of the expenditure pattern of the U.S. public port industry from 1946 through 1989. Since that report, MARAD has produced annual reports covering the industry's current expenditures and proposed 5-year capital expenditures. 2 Appendices, 20 tables, 24 p
