Abstract:

This report is the documentation of the freight rate data base for an evaluation of NED transportation benefits for GLSLS navigation improvements. This report provides the Great Lakes total logistics cost and a similar cost for an alternate transportation routing. Additional costs per ton become the basis for estimation of benefits for alleviating future lock capacity constraints. Author
