The objectives of this study are: (1) to develop a marine industry profile in terms of equipment, operating characteristics, energy consumption, costs and develop performance measurements in terms of ton-miles per BTU or operating hours per BTU for each industry sector identified; (2) to identify the role of all government and quasi-government agencies that impact the Marine Industry, projecting changes in the regulatory structure; to evaluate the energy use impact of these existing and proposed regulations; (3) to identify existing and expected R and D programs in those areas that impact the marine industry and fuel consumption; to evaluate the market for new technologies and the expected energy impact of the more prominent technologies; to estimate the cost of these R and D programs together with the cost of implementing the new technology; and (4) to evaluate alternative industry futures in the operational, regulatory and technological areas to determine the overall energy impact of each likely combination. The project schedule is presented and progress on Task 1 is reported.
