Description:

The study examined the question of how alteration of traditional channel clearances (i.e., three times ship width for one-way channels, and seven to eight times vessel beam for two-way traffic) would affect the economics of increasing the ship's dimensions. First there was a study of ship dimension optimization, holding draft constant, to meet Great Lakes depth constraints. It was found that the optimum-sized vessel is approximately 1,250' in length, 156' in width, and has a 27.2' draft (maximum allowable without dredging). The second task was to estimate the costs required to modify channels and harbors to accommodate the optimally-sized ship.
