Critical issues in coal transportation systems
This Symposium was conducted under the auspices of the Maritime Transportation Research Board (MTRB) of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council, as a part of a continuing program of advice to the federal government directed toward improving maritime and maritime-related transportation. This study was undertaken at the request of MTRB's sponsors. The Symposium addressing Critical Issues in Coal Transportation Systems, held June 14-15, 1978, consisted of sixteen papers addressing economic, security, labor, circuity, regulatory, and technological issues affecting the transportation of coal. The modes addressed by the papers included rail, pipeline, inland waterways, Great Lakes, and ocean. Extensive question and answer sessions followed each delivered paper. Fifteen papers from the proceedings have been entered individually into EDB, ERA, and EAPA. (LTN)
