lars in public and private investment in plant and equipment. This investment creates and maintains positive economic growth and sustains family-wage jobs. The river system is a critical energy sup- ply line, a facilitator of exports, and an environmentally superior mode of trans- port. For every dollar of investment in waterways priority projects, between $7 and $13 is returned in transportation ben- efits to the United States. In 2004 more than 607 million tons of "building block" commodities moved on America's inland navigational system. These commodities keep America strong and feed the world. Interestingly, though, in a $765b U.S. transportation market- with 87.7 percent of that spent on the trucking industry-with only 1 percent of the total transportation dollars is spent on water transportation, even though we move 16.5 percent of the total commodi- ties. Our industry - and waterborne trans- portation - is generally out of sight, out of mind. But the inland waterways trans- portation system is truly what binds us together in this country and allows us to turn on a light, eat our cereal in the morn- ing, and drive our car to work. It deserves our support and our commitment to nur- ture it, not neglect it. Waterways Council, Inc. is the national public policy organization advocating a modern and well-maintained national sys- tem of ports and inland waterways. The group is supported by more than 250 waterways carriers, shippers, port author- ities, shipping associations and waterways advocacy groups from all regions of the country. 44 • MarineNews • June 2006 BARGE 450-6 7,132 16,460 1981 2006 SH BARGE 450-7 7,132 16,460 1981 2006 SH BARGE 450-8 7,132 16,460 1981 2006 SH BARGE 450-10 7,132 16,460 1981 2006 SH FLORIDA BAY 12,271 20,866 1981 2006 SH OCEAN 210 11,951 22,562 1981 2006 SH KTC 80 5,264 11,000 1981 2006 SH TEXAS 7,244 15,014 1981 2006 SH BARGE 450-11 7,132 16,460 1982 2007 SH OCEAN 211 11,012 22,562 1982 2007 SH PENN NO. 400 5,651 10,228 1977 2007 DB RTC 503 9,185 16,330 1982 2007 SH SOUTH CAROLINA BAY 12,399 20,866 1982 2007 SH VIRGINIA BAY 12,271 20,866 1982 2007 SH B NO 185 8,371 18,944 1987 2009 SH B NO 195 8,371 18,944 1989 2009 SH ENERGY 11101 6,925 15,405 1979 2009 DB ENERGY 11102 6,925 15,535 1979 2009 DB PENN NO. 410 5,293 10,252 1979 2009 DB BISCAYNE 5,407 10,925 1981 2011 DB B NO 35 4,761 11,632 1980 2014 SH ENERGY 7002 4,362 10,693 1971 2014 SH HUGH 4,397 10,251 1977 2014 SH KLAMATH 4,412 10,070 1990 2014 SH B NO 80 4,089 12,313 1981 2014 SH B NO 85 4,038 11,693 1971 2014 SH B NO 95 4,981 11,693 1972 2014 SH B NO 105 4,981 11,693 1971 2014 SH RTC 105 4,892 11,716 1980 2014 SH RTC 90 4,982 11,792 1980 2014 SH WESTCHESTER 4,179 10,510 1975 2014 SH ACADIA 10,554 20,041 1997 na DH ALSEA BAY 6,039 11,703 2003 na DH ATC 21 9,439 19,500 2002 na DH ATC 23 10,554 29,938 1978 na DH ATLANTIC 8,327 17,068 1995 na DH BARGE 550-1 11,457 19,999 2002 na DH BARGE 550-2 11,457 19,999 2002 na DH BARGE 550-3 11,457 19,999 2002 na DH BARGE 550-4 11,457 19,999 2002 na DH B NO 210 8,225 13,504 1995 na DH B NO 215 8,721 17,277 1999 na DH B NO 220 8,225 13,504 1999 na DH B NO 225 8,799 18,870 2003 na DH B NO 230 10,658 18,944 1993 na DH B NO 235 10,722 17,892 1995 na DH B NO 240 10,483 18,136 1994 na DH B NO 242 11,089 22,658 2004 na DH B NO 245 19,049 26,309 1997 na DH B NO 255 11,854 18,944 1979 na DH B NO 265 11,854 18,944 1979 2002 na DH B NO 275 11,854 18,944 1981 2004 na DH CARIBBEAN 8,327 17,034 1995 na DH CASABLANCA 7,001 12,247 1987 na DH CAPELLLA 5,790 10,854 2002 na DH COMMENCEMENT BAY 6,040 11,703 2003 na DH DBL 70 5,248 10,277 1972 na DH DBL 78 5,559 12,579 2000 na DH DBL 81 5,896 15,854 2002 na DH DBL 82 5,896 15,854 2003 na DH DBL 101 7,159 15,852 2002 na DH DBL 102 7,159 15,852 2003 na DH DBL 103 7,132 14,215 2005 na DH DBL 105 8,505 16,574 1982 2003 na DH DBL 134 9,514 18,742 1986 1994 na DH DBL 140 10,303 20,313 1999 na DH DBL 151 9,741 19,995 1981 na DH DBL 152 9,741 19,995 1982 na DH DBL 155 11,962 19,984 1974 2004 na DH EVERGLADES 15,126 24,800 1980 2000 na DH ENERGY 11103 8,343 18,512 2005 na DH ENERGY 11104 8,268 18,572 2005 na DH ENERGY 13501 9,787 20,000 2005 na DH ENERGY 13502 9,787 20,000 2005 na DH ENERGY 8001 5,752 10,531 1996 na DH GEORGIA 8,460 18,437 2005 na DH HILO BAY 5,058 10,614 2004 na DH KEY WEST 10,256 21,500 2004 na DH LEMON CREEK 7,001 13,608 1987 na DH LEO 5,954 10,891 2003 na DH M 192 11,796 19,958 1979 1998 na DH M 214 14,480 20,629 1975 2004 na DH M 244 16,021 26,853 1971 2000 na DH M 252 16,928 27,730 1972 2002 na DH M 254 16,972 27,888 1970 2002 na DH M 300 16,553 37,507 1979 na DH MARITRANS 400 27,471 59,430 1981 na DH MASSACHUSETTS 10,736 21,246 1982 na DH NEW HAMPSHIRE 8,460 18,542 2004 na DH NOA 4,826 10,614 2002 na DH PENN NO. 90 7,592 15,000 2002 na DH PENN NO. 120 9,424 18,000 2002 na DH PENN NO. 121 9,424 18,000 2003 na DH PORTLAND 6,917 12,969 1987 na DH POSEIDON 6,744 15,241 1973 na DH RTC 100 7,311 14,382 2005 na DH RTC 101 7,311 14,382 2005 na DH RTC 135 10,077 21,440 1999 na DH RTC 145 10,460 22,545 2002 na DH RTC 150 10,460 22,545 2003 na DH RIGEL 5,669 12,249 1993 na DH SANSANOA 5,790 12,467 2001 na DH SPRING CREEK 7,001 13,608 1987 na DH SUNSET BAY 7,552 11,900 2004 na DH TENNESSEE 5,688 12,319 2003 na DH THE PATRIOT 5,826 10.433 2004 na DH TMI 17 6,840 15,876 1996 na DH YUCATAN 11,432 21,146 1998 na DH Total 947,074 1,858,692 Total (DH) 732,800 1,402,037 Hull codes: SH - single hull, DB - double bottom, DH - double-hull. * Last year/partial year of operation in U.S. trades.
