6 Conference Details Over 130 participants from government, ports, industry, and academia Joined by highway and rail representatives Twelve technical breakout sessions with 44 presentations and two special presentations Keynote speakers Major General Michael J. Walsh, USACE Polly Trottenberg, Acting Undersecretary and Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy, US DOT Margaret Spring, Principal Deputy Undersecretary for Oceans and Atmosphere, NOAA

7 Panel Discussions Roundtable two-way dialogue Landside (highway and rail) as well as waterway indicators Gateways and intermodal connections MTS carriers, users and marketplace dynamics Representatives from industry and government

8 Technical Breakout Sessions Capacity Energy and Environment Resilience and Reliability Investment, Economics, and Jobs Safety and Security Supply Chain Interdependencies Data Framework Asset Management/Risk Management Future and Emerging Capabilities

archived data to assess capacity needs for the MTS

9 Capacity Breakout Sessions Effects of lack of maintenance dredging Applications of real time and archived data to assess capacity needs for the MTS Landside capacity constraints (e.g. container yard acreage)

10 Safety and Security Breakout Session Automatic Identification System (AIS) Near miss reports Operational tools (e.g. LOMA) Need to explore other possibilities of use Waterborne Commerce data on commodities transiting waterways (HAZMAT, container screening) Search and Rescue

11 Investment, Economics and Jobs Breakout Sessions Need metrics that highlight: Inefficiencies in the system Cost sharing opportunities Areas for investment Full utilization of waterways The real value of cargo Report waterway performance in terms that resonate with the public (i.e. jobs rather than ton-miles)

12 Conference Conclusions Need for data standardization and integration Must employ a systems view Supply chain interdependencies (national and global) Systems vs. component reliability Coordinated infrastructure investments Intermodal considerations Need to transform data into knowledge

13 Expected Conference Products Conference summary report (scheduled for completion by December 2012) Framework to measure the performance, needs, and value of the marine transportation system Existing and needed performance metrics for the MTS Future R&D needs
