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.

In the same vein, the final leg of freight deliv- ery is often the most complicated. This final leg – the delivery of a package from the warehouse or fulfillment center to the The Last Mile customer’s address – is known as the “last mile,” though the actual distance can vary. But why is the last mile important and how are companies attempting to “solve” the last mile problem? One reason is the increased popularity of online shopping. Another reason is its relative expense compared to other aspects of the logistics chain. According to a Honeywell estimate, last mile logistics account for 53% of total logistics cost. Finally, as more of the world’s population moves to urban areas in the coming decades, last mile difficulties will only grow. Rural last mile delivery poses its own challenges, such as low customer density. Although greater population density in cities is advantageous for concentration of deliveries, the traffic congestion and lack of parking cancel out many potential benefits. UNestimates put 55% of the world population living in an urban population right now, but projections show that this number will increase to 68% by 2050.
