The Transportation Research Board Committee on Inland Water Transportation and the Committee on Ports and Waterways have been holding summer conferences for the past twelve years. This year they were joined by the Committees on Intermodal Freight Transportation, Intermodal Freight Terminal Design, and International Trade and Transportation, and the scope of the meeting was broadened to include the activities and interests of those committees. For the third consecutive year, the conference was co-sponsored by the AASHTO Standing Committee on Water Transportation. The joint program attracted 100 participants to hear 16 speakers in four conference sessions. The session topics included: the structural, financial and policy aspects of international trade; intermodal freight terminals and operations; port technology and innovation; and planning, development and economics of inland and coastal waterways. This Circular contains the papers presented at the conference or summaries of the papers.
