AAPA and MARAD Collaborate on Port Finance Survey Report

The Maritime Administration has released its new Public Port Finance Survey – FY 2006. This report is the only one of its kind in the port industry that covers U.S. and Canadian ports.

This publication contains financial data on maritime activities at ports, including the income statement, balance sheet, outstanding bonds, debt service, sales offices, and cargo tonnage. In addition, there are two sections that cover (1) data on contributions, donations, and grants received in fiscal year 2006, and (2) ratio analyses.

This report is the result of a cooperative effort between the Maritime Administration and the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA). It was prepared by the Maritime Administration’s Office of Intermodal System Development, using financial information furnished by AAPA.

Compiled for 28 years – first by AAPA or a member port and now, for the ninth year, by the Maritime Administration – the survey data were obtained by AAPA from its U.S. and Canadian corporate membership. AAPA’s U.S. members represent virtually all the major U.S. deep-draft coastal and Great Lakes ports.

The report may be downloaded from the Maritime Administration’s website (http://www.marad.dot.gov/ports_landing_page/infra_dev_congestion_mitigation/port_finance/port_finance_reports/Port_Fin_Rpts.htm.)
