Dave Crocker said he would put together a meeting with CMTA to discuss.

3. Tony Silvestri: Launch Operations Tony Reported: 2012 city morning summary for port authority from the launch provider.

New London harbor tours launch.

The good news is we provided launch service for over 550 persons from the city moorings to the customhouse peer with out incident. The bad news is 450 of those transfers were done during the OPSAILFEST weekend Thursday through Sunday.

Most recently on the 13th and 14 of September there was an event on the waterfront with a number of boats. Although everything went smooth and most had a great experience it was unfortunate that the restrooms at customhouse peer were out of service, there were a few that expressed some negative comments. During the summer season I have visited by boat and stayed overnight in Newport, Martha's Vineyard, Block Island, Sag Harbor, Greenport, and watch Hill. Every single one ofthese ports ) both docks and mornings were bustling so we know that the boaters are out there. At the end of last year I attended several meetings with Barbara Neff Frank McLaughlin and Dave Crocker. A suggested marketing plan was produced and submitted, it is my understanding very little if any of it was implemented.

In summary being an active boater and being intimately involved with our waterfront I feel it is essential that we always keep our best foot forward and most definitely put together a comprehensive marketing plan, even if it means giving things away in the beginning in order to change boaters habits. I hope you do not take my frankness negatively, and I would be happy to be on the committee to help accomplish the goal of making our waterfront bustling as well.

Sincerely Tony Silvestri

4. Harbor Management Plan redux: The Chairman stated that he is putting together a meeting with Robert Westhaver, Chairman of the City of Groton Harbor Management Commission, to discuss their Harbor Management Plan. I , I

I' i New Busi ness 1. CT DEEP Water Ports study// State Pier: Chuck Beck stated the Port Study was mandated by the CT Legislature as part of PA 11- j 57. The intended focus of the Port Study was to identify markets that would potentially use CT's three deep draft ports and to identify any required infrastructure investments necessary to attract those markets. The Port Study revealed that there are no such markets. Other ports are serving northeast needs very well, and that it is unlikely that the activity of the three studied ports would expand substantially beyond what they are currently doing. The Port Study recommends pursuing expansion of the current niche markets as well as pursuing a few new cargos such as the export of wood pellets. The Study also recommends state support of the existing ferry services that connect CT to Long Island as well as support the existing ship yards in CT. The State Pier in New London is viewed as a multimodal facility but the Port Study recommends that any further investment in the State Pier Facility should be pursued as a private-public partnership. The Port Study includes a recommendation to create an over-arching authority to coordinate activities among the three ports such as marketing. Several versions of an authority are offered: a quasi-state agency like the Capitol Region Development Authority or a structure much like the recently created Connecticut Airport Authority. The Study suggests the state might even expand the Connecticut Airport Authority to become the "Connecticut Airport and Port Authority." There is no suggestion in the Study for making specific infrastructure changes to any of the CT ports with the exception of maintenance dredging of the New Haven Channel should federal funds not materialize. Beck said that the reason that New Haven got the most focus in the Study was based on the tonnage of cargo that passes int%ut of th-e Port of New Haven_ The Port Study indicates that New London is not a suitable site for the major . investment that would be needed to make the State Pier an embarkation/debarkation site for large cruise ships. It has been proven in the cruise ship industry that the theory of "if you build it they will come" does not apply. Plus, creation of an embarkation/debarkation facility on the State Pier would all but eliminate the ability to handle general cargo ships. The Port Study does recommend New London pursue smaller coastal cruise ships that would be able to moor at a downtown pier. In answer to a question on how New London can apply for the $25M the Governor has made available for port infrastructure projects, Beck stated that the Study discusses a grant in aid program but falls short in providing specifics on how such a program would work. CTDOTwili develop the grant in aid program that will most likely require a graduated cost share component. He also stated that the $25M authorized in the FY 2013 capital budget is already programed to be spent on dredging related projects_ Future port infrastructure improvement funding will need to be addressed in the next and future biennium. Here's the link to the Port Study:

1. CT DEEP Water Ports study// State Pier: Reported by Chuck Beck -At the Wednesday 21 November 2012 CT Maritime Commission (CTMC) meeting, discussion was primarily dedicated to the recently released Study of a Strategy for the Economic Development of the New Haven, New London and Bridgeport ports a.k.a. the Port Study. The Port Study recommended that an overarching port governance body be established by wither changing the culture of an existing state agency or by creating a statewide port authority (SWPA). After considerable discussion on the recommendation, a motion was made and approved for the CTMC to endorse the recommendation in the Port Study for the establishment of a port governing body in the form of an,SWPA. The CTMC chose not to make any recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature on the details related to the SWPA such as the organizational structure of the SWPA, its authorities, its funding source, its relationship to the existing local port authorities, etc. It was learned at the CTMC meeting that the CT Legislature's Transportation Committee would be holding hearings on the Port Study in early December. Additionally, the Executive Director of the CT Cruise Ship Task Force (CSTF) announced at the CTMC meeting that during his recent trip to Fort Lauderdale, Princess Cruise Lines expressed a desire for the M/V DAWN PRINCESS to call on New London. The ship is 856 feet in length, carries 1950 passengers and 900 crew. The CSTF is working with Logistec with respect to the desired date of call (07/22/2014) and other administrative matters.
