Product Description: 

This the first Annual Report under the PPSFP. It presents publicly available, nationally consistent throughput, capacity, and performance statistics for the top 25 tonnage, container, and dry bulk ports. In doing so it reflects the discussions and recommendations of the Working Group, and the practicalities of a new program. The report also includes background information on U.S. ports and discussions of throughput and capacity concepts to provide a more complete picture of port activity and place the statistics in context.
