I want to give special thanks to all those who made Ithe trip possible, including key people at AEP River Operations, Marquette Transportation and the Waterways Council, Inc. I am especially grateful to the crew of the Theresa Wood for teaching me so much about life on the river and always being ready to explain the workings of the boat and its tow. In the pages of this edition of MarineNews I describe being held up on the Mississippi River by failing infrastructure and compare the sto- ries of an old-time towboater with those of a mariners who just stepped aboard. Look for the series, “A Day in the Life of a Towboater,” on our company’s online channels, such as Marinelink.com and Maritimeprofessional.com, as well as in the pages of this and the last two editions of MarineNews. October is also our 2010 Annual Yearbook edition, highlighting four main areas: tugs, towboats and barges; offshore; passenger vessels; and vessel construction. All of these markets report a mixed bag of conditions. While the tug, tow and barge markets tend to be relatively static, the passenger vessel market, especially in the New York / New Jersey area, have some very encouraging trends to talk about as far as public interest in charters and ferry transportation. Builders like All American Marine, who construct quite a few passenger vessels, continue to report strong interest in “green” pas- senger vessel construction projects. While vessel construction has been in a down swing for some time, diversified com- panies like Donjon Marine Co. demonstrated their optimism in that market by opening a new boatyard on the Great Lakes. The offshore industry, which has been hit very hard, continues in limbo while it waits for a new legal framework to drop from above. But industry analyst Quest Offshore Resources, Inc. described the long-term health for the off- shore markets to be good, despite the current gloom.

    Spring 2017 Industry Study Industry Report Transportation The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 i TRANSPORTATION 2017 ABSTRACT: The transportation industry has long been the keystone of America’s security, military strength, and economic prowess. Today, challenges besiege this vital industry, directly impacting its ability to meet national resourcing requirements and continued economic expansion. The most significant challenges are labor shortages, inadequate infrastructure, and barriers to automation (to include cyber security threats), each of which is impacted by burdensome regulation. The government, in coordination with industry stakeholders, must address these challenges by making strategic investments in infrastructure, reviewing, revising or rescinding current regulations, and implementing new policies to incentivize growth and industry efficiency.

Governor Mike Beebe and Irish Consul General Martin Rouine have been invited to attend the ceremony in Calvary Cemetery at 2 p.m. March 14. King was buried there after he died in May 1938 while being treated for pneumonia at the Army & Navy General Hospital. The March 14 ceremony is being coordinated by the Hot Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau with the assistance of the Thadeus H. Caraway Post 2278 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Post Commander Ralph Faresc. The VFW is coordinating the military portion of the event and several other local groups have asked to be involved with the ceremony. Calvary Cemetery, the local Catholic cemetery is located at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue and Third Street. The shortest route is to take Central Avenue to Greenwood and turn west. Details about King’s life and the circumstances surrounding his two Medals of Honor were extremely sketchy until Elizabeth Robbins, executive director of the Garland County Historical Society, began an intensive search for more information.

Abstract This report examines the potential effects of short sea shipping (SSS) development on the Texas transportation system. The project region includes Texas, Mexico, and Central America. In the international arena, the most likely prospects are for containerized shipments using small container ships. In the domestic arena, the most likely prospects are for coastwise shipments using modified offshore service vessels or articulated tug/barges. Only three Texas ports handle containers consistently (Houston accounts for 95% of the total), and three more handle containers sporadically.
