BOX B-1

Questions Addressed at Workshops

  1. What do you believe is the appropriate role of the public (federal, state, and local) and private sectors in developing and operating VTS systems? Where and when are such systems “inherently governmental? ” Where and when should the private sector be principally responsible for providing them?

  2. How would you rate the feasibility of implementing these systems based on the following models: (a) federally operated, (b) operated by federal-private partnerships, and (c) federal oversight of private operations. For each model, what other issues (e.g., liability) do you think need to be addressed, and how should they be addressed if necessary to encourage implementation?

  3. How should these systems be funded? How would you rate funding alternatives such as (a) user fees, (b) general tax revenues, and (c) special tax or special use funds, such as the oil pollution fund or the harbor maintenance trust fund?

  4. What are the advantages and disadvantages to the following two approaches for these systems: (a) developing a national system that would be customized for each port, and (b) developing separate systems specifically for each port?

  5. What are the necessary elements of a successful maritime information system? What information enhances the safety of vessels operating in U.S. ports? In what ways do information needs change from port to port?

  6. What are the key factors involved in evaluating whether a specific port needs additional management information systems?

  7. Are there existing private-sector providers of information for maritime users? In what ways do they enhance safety?
