Analysis of Start-Up Cross-Gulf Short Sea Shipping Activities with Mexico Since 1990: Problems and Opportunities

Project Description

This project looks at what has been attempted since 1990 in one subset of "short sea shipping" (defined as sea shipping that does not involve more than one continent). This subset is U.S.-Mexico cross-Gulf services. The project also looks at what services have been attempted, what obstacles were encountered, and what policies might be implemented to encourage the success of future ventures. In order to provide context, a description of the U.S. Gulf and Mexican port systems is included along with brief summaries of each of the ports identified as being actively involved in the trade.
