Title: STUDY OF BARGE LINE-HAUL RATES (ABRIDGMENT)
Accession Number: 00372251
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Waterway rate characteristics are an essential part of benefit analysis of waterway investment. For the first time, waterway rates have been collected and analyzed over the entire Mississippi River and its tributaries as opposed to other studies that covered only a part of that system. The study is most unique in that rates were verified from the actual records kept by the carriers. A total of 1700 rates were stratified based on season, origin-destination pairs, and commodity groups. Simple regression analysis suggests that major commodity groups, such as grains, exhibit respectable regression characteristics. The results of the study would be an input to other major investment studies as well as more complex rate analysis. (Author)
