Marine highway transport of toxic inhalation hazard materials

"TRB's National Cooperative Freight Research Program (NCFRP) Report 18: Marine Highway Transport of Toxic Inhalation Hazard Materials examines the possibility of transporting greater volumes of chlorine and anhydrous ammonia shipments via the marine highway system. At present, there is no coastwise and only limited inland waterway activity related to either commodity. In developing a business case for increasing chlorine and anhydrous ammonia shipments via the marine highway system, the report addresses market definition, return on investment, obstacles, impacts on other modes and their likely reactions, labor issues, environmental concerns, risks, and lessons learned from international experience."--
