PREFACE

The Water Resources Support Center's Navigation Data Center (NDC) is responsible

for establishing and maintaining a variety of navigation-oriented databases. These include

databases of waterborne commerce, domestic commercial vessels, port facilitites, lock

facilities, lock operations, and navigation dredging projects. The NDC's main office in

Alexandria, Virginia, houses all but the waterborne commerce and vessels databases.

These databases are operated and maintained by the NDC's Waterborne Commerce

Statistics Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Information from the NDC databases is available to government agencies, private

organizations and individuals. For those users from the Corps of Engineers and other

federal agencies with direct access to the NDC databases, a supplemental guidebook, the

Federal Guide to Navigation Data, is available upon request.

INTRODUCTION

This manual is designed to 1) acquaint the reader with the types of data available

from the Navigation Data Center (NDC); 2) explain the various ways to access these data;

and 3) provide some background on why these data are collected and how they apply to

the Corps decision-making process.

This manual will assist both those who require immediate data access and those

whose data needs are geared to long-term trend analyses. Operations personnel will find

the data helpful in managing lock and dredging operations, while regulators can rely on

current and archived port facility information and vessel activity. Managers and

executives, when setting project maintenance priorities, will find the annual waterborne

statistics a valuable source for commerce and vessel activity on Corps-maintained

channels. Planners and policy makers preparing long-term investment programs will base

their decisions on historical commerce, vessel, port, and lock activity, as well as port and

terminal development. NDC data contain these current and historical facts.

Navigation Data

The NDC data collection and dissemination efforts encompass all the commercially

navigable waterways of the United States. The NDC's data bank includes commodity

tonnages, ton-mile statistics, number of passengers, specifics of vessel movements and

lockages; descriptions relating to the various physical and operational characteristics of

commercial port facilities, locks, vessels, and waterways; and performance data relating

to the Corps' dredging projects. The sources of these data include monthly reporting from

more than 1,500 vessel operating companies, lockage and dredging statistics from Corps'

personnel at locks and district offices, and commercial port and terminal characteristics

from on-site surveys conducted by NDC engineers. NDC is legally empowered to ensure

that tonnage data are reported by vessel operating companies.

Navigation information from the NDC's data bank consists of the following data

sets: the Waterborne Commerce Statistics and Vessel Characteristics, the Ports and

Waterways Facilities, the Dredging Information System (DIS), the Lock Performance

Monitoring System (LPMS), and Lock Characteristics. Navigation information is available

in printed reports, thematic maps, CD-ROM, electronic data transfer, and special requests.

Online computer access is available to the public through the NDC's Web Site

and to Corps users through the LPMS and WCSC information systems. 

NDC management activities include development of national navigation data base

concept, design, implementation, operation, and maintenance. With accuracy and

timeliness as priorities, NDC has integrated and standardized the data bases for increased

operating efficiency, quality control, and enhanced user products.

Through relational data bases created and maintained in-house, NDC compiles

customized reports as required. NDC regularly publishes the Port Series Repor (56 ts

volumes on a rotational basis); the Waterbor ne Commerce Statis (5 rep tics orts compiled

annually); the Waterborne Transportation Lines of the United State (compiled annually); the s

Key Lock Repor (tcsompiled monthly); the Summary of Lock Statistic (compiled annually); s

and the Corps of Engineers Dredgi ng Program: Adver tisi ng Sched ule a nd Co ntracts Awarded

(compiled monthly).

 

Proprietary Constraints

Certain tonnage data collected by NDC are considered to be proprietary and

therefore are not available to the general public. This restriction protects reporting

companies from unfair competitive advantage. All Corps and Federal users must comply

with the Trade Secrets Act (Title 18, U.S. Code Chapter 93, Section 1905), which states in

part "Whoever...discloses...information which concerns...operations...(or) confidential

statistical data...of any person, firm, corporation or association...shall be fined not more

than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year or both, and shall be removed from

office or employment." Any Corps of Engineers employee, or other Federal agency

employee who receives confidential data from NDC, is subject to this restriction.

Confidentiality is governed by the "Rule of Three", which states that there must be at least

three vessel operating companies moving a particular commodity from an area of origin

to an area of destination for those data to be released publicly. When there is a question

as to the proprietary constraint on, or confidentiality of, any data provided, contact David

Penick, Director, WCSC at (504) 862-1423, E-mail: david.penick@usace.army.mil or David

INTEGRATED NAVIGATION 

INFORMATION

Integrated Navigation Information

is the result of combining data from any of

the NDC information systems on the basis

of a common geographic location. This

location could be a particular point on a

waterway, the entire Nation, a stretch of

river, a State, a congressional district, one

of the Corps Divisions or Districts, or any

other geographic location related to

navigation. Using the latest technology,

NDC offers many ways to access these

integrated data, including the Executive

Work Station (EWS), the NDC Web

site on the Internet, and Geographic

Information System (GIS) applications.

Executive Work Station. The EWS is NDC's information server. It consists of a relational

data base of summarized data from each of NDC's information systems. Data are

organized geographically and summarized at the lowest level by location such as a

dredging contract site, lock chamber, or port facility. 

NDC personnel access the EWS to provide executive decision support, in-house

quality control, high-volume data transfers, data base maintenance, and answers to

customer requests. NDC uses data from the EWS for quality control to check cargo

movements by comparing port facility with WCSC information to detect which port

facilities are actively shipping/receiving cargo. Data from the EWS are the primary source

for the NDC GIS. Lock Characteristics and Lock Performance information is exported

from the EWS and are used in publishing the Lock Performance Monitoring System Summary
Integrated Navigation Information

6 NDC User’s Guide

of Lock Statistics Report. Many customers use integrated data from the EWS to gain a wider

perspective of the total navigation system.

The types of data on the EWS and frequency of updates are described below:

& Waterborne commerce data. Summary of tons and ton-miles from

the WCSC by commodity at each Corps-owned and operated lock

site. These data are updated annually. 

& Port facility data. Subset of the PWD data base containing physical

and intermodal (infrastructure) characteristics of U.S. ports. Ports

information is updated periodically as port surveys are completed. 

& Dredging statistics data. Subset of the DIS containing information

about all awarded dredging contracts for each complete fiscal year

back to 1990. Data are added at the end of each fiscal year.

& Lock performance and usage data. By direction (upstream or

downstream) at each Corps-owned and/or Corps-operated lock

chamber, a summary of number of vessels, barges, lockages, and

hardware operations; delay time, processing time, and lock

unavailability time; and tonnages and number of barges by

commodity. Data are summarized annually back ten years and

monthly for the 3 most current years. New monthly summaries are

added approximately 45 days after the end of each month.

& Lock characteristics data. Location, physical characteristics, site

information, site characteristics, historical change and Corps

management information. Data are updated on the basis of a survey

by NDC engineers or notification from Districts. 

Data are available from the EWS in most standard file formats (e.g., ASCII comma

delimited) and in customized reports, spreadsheets, charts, or graphs. For further

information about obtaining data from the EWS, contact Bob Baldwin at (703) 428-8047,

Internet Web Site. NDC's Web Site is the information server for navigation data,

monthly summary statistics, internal tonnage estimates and indicators and new

navigation data products. The internet address is http://www.wrsc.usace.army.mil/ndc

See Below for more information. 

 

 (this section is being updated)

Geographic Information System Applications. A geographic information system (GIS)

at NDC uses data from the EWS and specific NDC data sources to build an integrated

navigation application. This GIS can produce thematic maps that display the integrated

information based on the user's selection of geographic data layers.

NDC has incorporated latitude/longitude information into its central data base to

facilitate more precise plotting of specific geographic points on the waterways. Locations

can be depicted as points (e.g. a dock), as lines (e.g. a road or waterway), as areas (e.g.

entire states), or as networks and combinations of the above. When translated into the

current NDC information systems, LPMS, Lock Characteristics, Port and Waterway

Facilities, and Dredging data can be represented as specific points; WCSC's State and

waterway information as map displays; its waterway data as line depictions; and its locks

as points. For more information about GIS applications contact Michael Myers at (703) 428-

8063, E-mail: michael.myers@usace.army.mil.

Internet - World Wide Web Home Page. NDC's Home Page is available to all World

Wide Web users on the Internet at http://www.wrsc.usace.army.mil/ndc. Visitors to

NDC’s Home Page will be able to access the most current navigation information about

waterborne commerce, dredging contracts, port facilities, lock characteristics, and lock

performance. Links to other related sites are also available.

Integrated Products. 

The U.S. Waterway System--Facts pamphlet is an annually

updated pocket-sized guide to salient facts about the U.S.

waterway system. Included is traffic by state, leading U.S.

Ports, traffic by commodity, traffic by waterway, U.S. flag

vessels and U.S. waterway facilities.

The United States Waterway Data CD-ROM is a collection of data from several

agencies and institutions, including USACE's NDC, the U.S. Bureau of Census, the U.S.

Coast Guard, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Vanderbilt

University. The U.S. Waterway Data CD-ROM is the result

of a coordinated effort between the U.S. Department of

Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics

(BTS), USACE and other contributing agencies, to

make waterway data more easily accessible to the

public and to user agencies. The U.S. Waterway

Data CD-ROM was funded and distributed by BTS.

CD-ROM development was a joint effort by the

USACE NDC and the Vanderbilt Engineering

Center for Transportation Operations and Research

(VECTOR). BTS and USACE had several objectives

in developing a Waterway Data CD-ROM. The

objectives support the concept of a National Spatial Data

Infrastructure (NSDI), which would provide current and

reliable data, foster partnerships between data producers and

users, and establish standards for sharing data. These data include by agency:

NDC DATA BASES

Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center

Background. WCSC, located in New Orleans, primarily

collects, processes, distributes, and archives waterborne vessel

trip and cargo data. USACE has been systematically collecting information on vessels,

tonnage, commodity, origin, and destination from vessel operating companies since

1922. The data are collected under the River and Harbor Act, September 22, 1922 (42

Stat; 1043), as amended, and codified in 33 U.S.C. 555. This statute imposes a $2,500

civil penalty per violation against any person or entity that fails to provide timely,

accurate statistics. Each criminal offense includes a possible 2 months' imprisonment or

a $5,000 fine per offense. The Corps can also refuse to permit lockage of vessels from

delinquent reporting vessel operating companies. 

Commercial carriers that transport goods and passengers on the navigable

waterways of the United States supply the data to WCSC. The Bureau of Census

processes foreign data collected by the U.S. Customs Service at the request of the Corps

of Engineers and provides the Corps with foreign statistics for the waterways and

harbors of the United States. The foreign data are summarized and combined with the

domestic data so that the WCSC data base and products reflect the total waterborne

traffic picture: foreign and domestic, inland waterways, and coastal and Great Lake

ports and channels. WCSC also collects shipper information to support the U.S.

Customs Service in collecting harbor maintenance fees (P.L. 99-662). 

Types of Data Collected. The data collected by WCSC can be grouped into three

general categories: domestic data, foreign data, and vessel data. Each category is

described in detail below.

Domestic Data. Domestic commerce is defined as commerce originating and

terminating on waters of the contiguous and non-contiguous States and territories. 

This definition includes Hawaii, Alaska, the 48 contiguous States, Puerto Rico and the

Virgin Islands. (See Appendix 1, Terminology, for a description of the domestic types

of traffic.) Most domestic waterborne commercial vessel movements, including ships,

towboats, offshore supply vessels, barges, passenger (excursion and ferry) boats and

newly constructed vessels, must be reported to the Corps. Excluded are movements of
NDC Data Bases Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center

NDC User’s Guide 11

recreational vessels, fire/police/patrol vessels, dredges, and construction vessels (pile

drivers, crane barges, etc.). The forms by which carriers report are ENG Forms 3925

and 3925B, Vessel Operation Report (VOR). (See Appendix 3, Reporting Forms, for a

sample copy of the VOR.) Specific types of data collected include vessel name, vessel

type, commodity carried, tonnage, origin (port, dock, date departed, draft), destination

(port, dock, date arrived, draft), alternate routes, and shipper name and IRS number. 

These data are encoded into numeric form and loaded into the current year Oracle

Detail table, and are supported by descriptive fields in the Master tables, which are

included in the Data Dictionary. (Corps and other Government users should refer to

the supplement: Federal Guide to Navigation Data, TOWS Data Dictionary.)

Data flows from the source (carrier), through WCSC's contract coding and

keying facilities, to the editing and the routing process, which identifies all waterways

traversed by the vessel and commodity movement from origin to destination. Routing

computes trip miles and ton-miles, and determines the traffic type (See Appendix 1,

Terminology).

Beginning with the 1990 data year, WCSC reduced its publication commodity

categories slightly from 163 to 157, while increasing its data capture categories from 163

to 662. This change affords a better disaggregation of the old not-elsewhere-classified

(NEC) categories, and provides more specific commodity codes. The detail commodity

categories are Standard Industrial Trade Classification, Revision 3 codes (SITC, Rev 3),

which are compatible with the International Harmonized System codes used in foreign

trade. The publication codes are hierarchically compatible with LPMS commodity

codes. (See Appendix 2, Commodity Code Tables, Commodity Classification List and

Commodity Mapping Table, for the SITC, Rev 3 codes mapped to the LPMS and

Publication commodity codes.)

Foreign Data. Foreign commerce is defined as commerce that is a waterborne import,

export, or transshipment traffic between the United States (including Puerto Rico and

the Virgin Islands) and any foreign country. These statistics do not include traffic

between Guam, Wake Island, or American Samoa and any other foreign country. (See

Appendix 1, Terminology, for a description of the foreign types of traffic.)

The Foreign Trade Division of the Bureau of Census compiles and disseminates

the data related to imports and exports of the United States by collecting and

processing the documents channeled to the Bureau of Census by the U.S. Customs

Service. Foreign commerce data are furnished to the Corps of Engineers by the Bureau
NDC Data Bases Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center

12 NDC User’s Guide

of Census under a working arrangement sponsored by the Office of Management and

Budget. The data are confined to vessel movements by water and are reconcilable with

published trade reports of the Bureau of Census with the exception of LOOP Oil

Terminal and Skagway Wharf reports, which are manually entered as imports by the

Corps of Engineers.

WCSC is the Corps repository for import/export detail data collected by the

Bureau of Census. The foreign detail data are stored on computer tape and

summarized, merged, and routed with the domestic detail data. Only summary data

are available in the Oracle Detail table, including commodity carried, tonnage, U.S.

port, vessel type, direction, and number of trips. Specific types of data in the foreign

detail records include U.S. district/port, foreign port, country of origin/destination,

SITC Rev 3 commodity, shipping value and weight, vessel name, WCSC location code,

draft, net registered tonnage, ballast, rig, and operator. For Corps users only, the

foreign detail cargo records for the current processing year are available in an Oracle

table. (Refer to the supplement: Federal Guide to Navigation Data, Foreign Data, for the

Oracle table descriptions.)

Vessel data. WCSC annually conducts a survey (ENG Form 3931) of the companies

with vessels available for commercial waterborne carriage of passenger and cargo such

as ships, towboats, and barges available for use in such carriage. The U.S. flag fleet and

company information is entered into WCSC's data base, and provides an annual

"snapshot" of the domestic commercial fleet by company. The vessel inventory does

not contain general ferries, floating equipment used in construction work, most

dredges, most fishing vessels, or recreational craft. Specific types of operator and

vessel data collected include operator address, type of service, and principal

commodities carried and localities served, as well as vessel name and number, Coast

Guard number, vessel characteristics, and operating base. These data are available to

the public, See Appendix 4, WTLUS for field descriptions. (Corps and other

Government users should also refer to the supplement: Federal Guide to Navigation Data,

TOWS Data Dictionary, Master Operator and Master Vessel tables, for file layout and

descriptions.) 

Accessing.

Online. See "Internet Web Site" for online access of waterborne statistics available to the

public. Corps users must contact the ADP office of WCSC at (504) 862-1406 for online

access of detail data.

national summaries of tons and ton-miles contained in parts 1-4. Archival

copies are available back to 1915.

& Estimated Waterborne Commerce Statistics, National Totals and Selected

Inland Waterways contains tonnage estimates of the total national

waterborne commerce and selected inland waterways for the most recent

calendar year. The waterways estimates are based on correlations

between LPMS, described in this section, tonnages collected at the locks,

and waterborne commerce tonnages provided by vessel operating

companies. These data sets are available approximately 3-6 months after

the close of the calendar year.

& Internal U.S. Waterway Monthly Tonnage Indicator is the current monthly

internal waterborne tonnage indicator with a comparison to previous

years. Internal tonnage moves solely within the boundaries of the United

States. The indicator is based upon tonnage passing through key locks on

the inland waterway system. These locks were chosen using correlation

analysis of twelve years of historical waterborne commerce data collected

from vessel operating companies and data collected at Corps operated

locks. The indicator is computed as soon as the necessary monthly lock

data is available, which is 30 to 45 days after the close of the month. 

& Tonnage for Selected United States Ports contains tonnage figures for the

top 150 U.S. ports for a given year. Listings are sorted by total tonnage,

foreign tonnage, domestic tonnage, and alphabetically. Historical copies

are available back to 1986.

& Waterborne Tonnage by State contains waterborne tonnage by States, for a

given year, in single-page format. Data are aggregated by domestic and

foreign shipments, domestic and foreign receipts, and intra-state. The

listings are sorted by total waterborne tonnage, and alphabetically by

State. Historical copies are available back to 1988.

& Two public domain data bases contain aggregated information that

depicts waterborne commodity movements between 26 geographical

regions and individual States of the U. S. These data bases protect the

confidentiality of the data provided by the individual carriers, while

simultaneously providing the general public with origin/destination

commodity flows. Commodity specificity may be generalized to protect

confidentiality during the editing process. For example, sugar is labeled

as food. If three or more vessel operating companies do not carry food

products from a particular area of origin to a particular area of

destination, then "food" is reclassified to "other." Editing procedures are
NDC Data Bases Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center

NDC User’s Guide 15

continually undertaken to ensure carrier confidentiality. These data are

available in hard copy beginning with calendar year 1985. 

Approximately 1,400 records are in each calendar year data base. They

are sorted by origin, destination, and commodity. 

& Waterborne Transportation Lines of the United States contains information

on the vessel operators and their American flag vessels operating or

available for transporting freight and passengers. Table 1 alphabetically

lists the vessel companies and their addresses; table 2 alphabetically lists

the vessel companies and describes each vessel, including its Coast Guard

number, net register tonnage, vessel type, construction and characteristics,

length, breadth, draft, horsepower, carrying capacity, highest fixed point,

cargo handling equipment, vessel operating base, and year built or

rebuilt. Table 3 lists descriptions of operations by vessel company, to

include type of service, principal commodities carried, and points or

localities and waterways between which or on which the services are

conducted. Before 1983, the WTLUS consisted of three regional volumes;

in 1983-84, these volumes were consolidated into a single edition.

The 1994 WTLUS edition will be printed in three volumes. The National

Summaries, Volume 1, provides a condensation of the vessel data detailed in the

WTLUS. Summarized vessel characteristics are represented in both tabular and

graphic format. 

The Transportation Lines Company Summary, Volume 2, provides a summary

of the vessel companies detailed in the WTLUS. Volume 2 combines the information

provided in Tables 1 and 3 from the old format (described in the previous paragraph)

into one summary table. The number of vessels reported by vessel type has been

added to the table for each company.

The Vessel Characteristics, Volume 3, lists the vessel companies detailed in the

WTLUS in alphabetical sequence and describes each vessel surveyed by the same

characteristics as listed in Table 2 of the old format (described in the previous

paragraph).

& Summary of U.S. Flag Vessels summarizes the vessel types by region

contained in the WTLUS The summary by region represents the same

geographic regions that were 

published before 1983-84 in three publications. The data for each vessel type (by year

and region) include number of vessels, passengers, railroad cars, horsepower, and

cargo capacity. Vessel types are disaggregated by dry cargo and/or passenger, dry

cargo barges, ferries and railroad cars, tank barges, tankers, railroad car floats, and

Ports and Waterways Division 

Background. The PWD receives its charter and authority from

three statutes. Section 7 of the River and Harbor Act of 1918

directs the Chief of Engineers to report on the description and

adequacy of U.S. waterway terminals and transfer facilities in

his annual report to Congress; section 8 of the Merchant

Marine Act of 1920 adds a requirement to study the infrastructure supporting such port

facilities; and section 500 of the Transportation Act of 1920 reiterates these

responsibilities, requires the publication of collected data "of value to the commercial

interests of the country," and adds the anchorages of the Great Lakes to the areas of

investigation.

Types of Data Collected. The PWD collects, reviews, analyzes, publishes, and

disseminates data on the physical and intermodal (infrastructure) characteristics of the

coastal, Great Lakes, and inland ports of the United States. Also published are dock

location data for NDC's GIS and port area maps for use with collection of harbor

maintenance fees. Fifty-six Port Series Reports cover more than 9,500 facilities in more

than 200 ports areas. The PWD also provides compatible data to LPMS, and current

data for WCSC's location and dock code data base. Users of PWD data include, at the

District level, regulatory functions, port mobilization planners, project planners,

reservoir regulators, and emergency management officials.

Port facilities. Facility data include, but are not limited to location (latitude/longitude,

NDC codes, mile, and bank); operations (name, owner, operator, purpose, handling

equipment, rates, and details of open and covered storage facilities); type and

dimension of construction (length of berth space for vessels and/or barges, depth,

apron width, deck elevation, and details of rail and highway access); and utilities

available (water, electricity, and fire protection).

Mile point locations. The Mile Point locations data base contains 10,020 sequential

mile point positions of navigable inland waterways and the Gulf Intracoastal

Waterway. Each record includes: longitude, latitude, river name, river code, river

number, and ID number. Creation of the Mile Point locations data base was a joint

effort of NDC and the Defense Mapping Agency. Latitudes and longitudes are

expressed in explicit decimal seconds. For further information about the Mile Point

NDC Data Bases Dredging Statistics Program

20 NDC User’s Guide

Dredging Statistics Program

Background. The Dredging Statistics Program contains the

Dredging Information System(DIS) data base, which gathers,

manages, and distributes data on all contracted and Corpsperformed dredging activities. The Dredging Statistics

Program was established in 1991 as mandated by the Director

of Civil Works. The DIS data base was developed, building on the strengths of its

predecessor, the National Dredging Data Management System (NADDAMS),

incorporating the speed and flexibility of current data base management system

technology. The data base tracks all contracted and Corps-performed dredging from

pre-bid through completion. Commercial relational data base management system

software, MICRORIM R:BASE, is used with customized applications for Corps of

Engineers data entry. Data are stored in 17 major tables that contain over 150 data

fields. The current central data base contains information from 1984 to the present.

Types of Data Collected. The data base tracks each dredging contract, and

information relating to an individual contract is linked among the tables. Information

in the data base includes general contract data on name and location of the dredging

site, dredged quantity, type of dredge, type of material disposal, dates of bid

advertisement, bid opening and contract award, units of contract measurement, small

business set-aside restrictions, dredging window restrictions, Government cost

estimate, number of bids submitted, winning bid and bidder, small business status of

bidders, and actual contract cost and quantity dredged. The data base also contains

more detailed data of the cost and quantity of all bid items including the Government

estimate. Disposal site and quantity data are captured and a table is dedicated to all

contractor names and addresses. 

The Corps of Engineers Districts are responsible for maintaining and updating

their "local" district data bases and supplying an updated file monthly to the central

data base. The files are imported into the national data base where data integrity and

quality control checks are performed.

Accessing. Direct access to the data base is limited to the Program Manager and

district data entry personnel. However, all data are available in electronic form or hard

copy through requests to the Program Manager.
NDC Data Bases Dredging Statistics Program

NDC User’s Guide 21

The DIS is a stand-alone PC-based central data base with a distributed

application in each district. Each district has direct access to its own data base and a

copy of the national data base to view as needed. The central data base is directly

accessible by the Program Manager, who addresses all data and information requests. 

Direct hands-on access to the data base is not available to the general public, although

data files can be obtained for further manipulation and analyses.

Online. The DIS is currently not an interactive online system. Data files from the

districts are imported into the central data base.

Electronic Media. The public can access NDC's Web Site for current

reports, updated monthly by the 15th, of the Corps Contract Dredging Schedule, as

well as the current list of contracts awarded. The complete listing of the previous year's

contracts and awards is also available. Contracts and awards from FY 1992-on are

archived on NDC's Web Site and available to users.

Data files can also be supplied in ASCII or other standard data base formats. 

(Corps and other Government users should refer to the supplement: Federal Guide to

Navigation Data, DIS, for field descriptions, record layout, and file specifications.)

Publications. Standard reports and custom products of the Dredging Statistics

Program include contract advertising schedules, lists of contracts awarded, post-bid

summaries, small business summaries, and statistics and reports sorted and

summarized by specific data fields. The following are two frequently used monthly

reports. 

& U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Contract Dredging Program: Advertising

NDC Data Bases Lock Performance Monitoring System

NDC User’s Guide 23

Lock Performance Monitoring System

Background. LPMS collects, edits, maintains, analyzes and

disseminates data collected at all Corps-owned and/or Corpsoperated locks. LPMS data are collected under authority of

Engineering Regulation 1130-2-429. Data collection began in

1975 and consists of information about waterway traffic usage

and performance of each lock in the Corps' national system. Cargo and passenger

statistical data are obtained under the authority of 33 USC 555, and thus is subject to the

proprietary constraints. Data should not be released if they identify any vessel owner

who provided such confidential information. 

Types of Data Collected. LPMS data consists of information describing the waterway

traffic through Corps owned and/or operated locks. These data include the number of

vessels and barges using the lock; type, dates, and times of lockages; entry and exit

types; number of cuts; flotilla dimensions; vessel ID number; direction; lock closure

dates and times, durations, causes and whether closure was scheduled; barge type,

barge size, commodity type; and tonnages carried. Data are collected using printed

forms or a PC data entry and edit software program (LPMS Micro Edit). Both data

collection methods are based on the Waterway Traffic Report Forms: ENG Form 3102b

- Lockage Log, 3102c - Vessel Log, and 3102d - Detailed Vessel Log used as an alternate

to 3102c when specific barge information is needed (see Appendix 3, Reporting Forms,

LPMS Waterway Traffic Report forms). LPMS data are electronically transmitted

monthly from each lock or Corps District office to a central data base. Information

collected from each of the locks is kept active in the central data base for the most recent

10 years. Statistics are published by NDC each month for selected key locks, and

annually for all locks. 

Accessing.

Online. Online access to the LPMS central data base is available to any authorized

Corps user. An authorized user may access the detailed lockage data, monthly

summary data and any of the 16 standard LPMS reports (see "Publications"). Data are

added to the LPMS data base each month and kept active for the last 10 years. Upon

special request, archived data can be obtained back to 1980. Corps personnel must

coordinate with their district Information Management Office (IMO) to receive a user

ID and password. The family name for the data base is PMS. Users will need an ADP

workcode (also available from IMO) to get connected successfully to LPMS. For further

Lock Characteristics

Background. The Lock Characteristics data base contains

information on the physical aspects of all USACE-built, -

maintained, -owned or -operated locks. This data base relies

on regular updates from field surveys and District personnel

to provide the most current and accurate data about the

physical aspects of locks. Lock Characteristics data are stored

and maintained on NDC's EWS. Data from Lock Characteristics are used for in-house

quality control purposes between LPMS and WCSC; X and Y coordinates for the GIS

application; and as a basis for executive-level queries on the EWS.

Types of Data Collected. The physical aspects of each lock chamber are stored in the

Lock Characteristics data base. Several categories of lock characteristics are maintained

in the data base, which include the following:

& Location: River, mile point, latitude/longitude, town, county,

Congressional district, Corps district, Corps division

& Physical Characteristics: Length, width, lift, depth, gate type,

number of chambers

& Site Information: Lock operator, lock mail address, lock phone/fax

number, radio call sign

& Site Characteristics: Channel length, channel width, pool elevation,

Terminology
Appendix 1: Terminology
Waterborne Commerce Terminology

Appendix 1: Terminology - 1

Sorted Alphabetically

Canadian Exports: outbound domestic merchandise and re-export of foreign merchandise from a U.S. foreign trade 

zone destined for Canada.

Canadian Imports: inbound merchandise for direct consumption and entries into custom bonded storage and 

manufacturing warehouses originating in Canada.

Coastwise: domestic traffic receiving a carriage over the ocean, or the Gulf of Mexico, (e.g. New 

Orleans to Baltimore, New York to Puerto Rico, San Francisco to Hawaii, Alaska to Hawaii). 

Traffic between Great Lakes ports and seacoast ports, when having a carriage over the ocean, 

is also termed Coastwise.

Commodity Description The first two digits of the WCSC publication codes correspond with the Lock Performance 

Monitoring System (LPMS) commodity codes. Both LPMS and WCSC codes were standardized to 

reflect the hierarchical structure of the Standard Industrial Trade Classification (SITC) 

Revision 3 commodity codes. SITC, Rev. 3 commodity codes conform to the Harmonized 

Commodity Description and Coding System (HS). Using SITC, Rev. 3 allows direct comparisons 

with U.S. imports and exports, as well as with commodity movements of other countries.

Downbound: waterway traffic that moves in a downstream direction. For waterways without a 

characteristic monodirectional flow, "downbound" means in a southerly or westwardly 

direction.

Internal: vessel movements (origin and destination) which take place solely on inland waterways. An 

inland waterway is one geographically located within the boundaries of the contiguous 48 

states or within the boundaries of the State of Alaska. The term "internal traffic" is also 

applied to these vessel movements: those which involve carriage on both inland waterways and 

the Great Lakes: those occurring between offshore areas and inland waterways (e.g., oil rig 

supplies and fish); and those taking place within Delaware Bay, Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, 

and the San Francisco Bay, which are considered internal bodies of water rather than arms of 

the ocean.

Intra-territory: traffic between ports in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, U.S.A. which are considered a 

single unit.

Intra-waterway: movements within the limits of a river, waterway or canal. This traffic will not include 

car-ferries and general ferries moving within a waterway or Corps project.

Intransit Merchandise inbound merchandise coming into the United States from a foreign country and shipped to a 

foreign country without having been entered as an import. Intransit merchandise is treated as

 an Import when unloaded from a vessel and as an Export when loaded onto a vessel.
Waterborne Commerce Terminology

Appendix 1: Terminology - 2

Intraport: movement of freight within the confines of a port whether the port has one or several arms or

 channels included in the port definition. This traffic type will not include car-ferries 

and general ferries moving within a port.

Lakewise: waterborne traffic between the United States ports on the Great Lakes System. The Great 

Lakes System is treated as a separate waterway system rather than as a part of the inland 

waterway system. In comparing historical data for the Great Lakes System, one should note 

that prior to calendar year 1990, marine products, sand and gravel being moved from the Great

 Lakes to Great Lake destinations were classified as local traffic. From 1990 on, these 

activities are classified as lakewise traffic.

Overseas Exports: outbound domestic merchandise and re-export of foreign merchandise from a U.S. foreign trade 

zone destined for foreign countries other than Canada.

Overseas Imports: inbound merchandise for direct consumption and entries into custom bonded storage and 

manufacturing warehouses originating in foreign countries other than Canada.

Receipts: traffic moving from one location to another where the destination is within the limits of the

 subject port.

Shipments: traffic moving from one location to another where the origin is within the limits of the 

subject port.

Through: movements transiting a waterway, or stretch thereof, as defined in the project description of

 individual tables, and having origins and destinations outside of the defined area.

Ton-miles: Water carriage ton-miles were first compiled and published in calendar year 1962. The 

distances used are statute miles. Domestic ton-miles are calculated by multiplying the tons 

of commerce being moved by the number of miles actually moved on the water (e.g. 50 short 

tons moving 200 miles on a particular waterway would yield million ton-miles for that 

waterway). The ton-mile parameter measures the total performance of a waterway. Ton-miles 

are not computed for ports. For coastwise traffic this represents the mileage on the 

shortest route that safe navigation permits between the point of origin and destination. The

 source of this distance information for coastwise traffic is the publication, Distance 

Between United States Ports, published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

 (1987). For rivers and inland waterways the distances were computed from waterway survey 

maps and records of the Corps of Engineers. For the Great Lakes system the ton-miles are 

computed for movements of cargo west of the international boundary of St. Regis, Quebec, 

Canada to head of the lakes at Duluth/Superior. For Canadian imports and exports, foreign 

ton-miles are computed as the tonnage times the distance between U.S. and Canadian ports. 

For lakewise domestic movements, ton-miles equal the cargo tonnage times the distance between

 the U.S. Great Lakes ports. For overseas imports and exports, foreign ton-miles are 

computed by multiplying the cargo tonnage by the miles carried on U.S. waterways and 

channels. Ton-miles are rounded to the nearest million.
Waterborne Commerce Terminology

Appendix 1: Terminology - 3

Tons: The tonnage figures provided throughout the Waterborne Commerce of the United States (WCUS) 

Parts 1-5 represent short tons (2000 pounds). Where noted tonnage figures are rounded to the

 nearest million. A zero represents less than 500,000 tons but more than zero. Dashes mean 

zero tons. Columns and rows may not add up exactly to totals and subtotals due to rounding.
Waterborne Commerce Terminology

Appendix 1: Terminology - 4

Trans-Shipments: Ports and offshore anchorages where cargo is moved from one vessel to another. These are: 

St. Lucia, Virgin Islands; Heald Bank off LA-TX coast; Chirqui Grande, Panama; Puerto 

Armuelles, Panama; and Hondo Platform-Pacific Ocean.

Upbound: waterway traffic that moves in an upstream direction. For waterways without a characteristic

 monodirectional flow (e.g. the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway), "upbound" means in a northerly 

or easterly direction.

Transportation Lines - Operator Master File

Field Descriptions

TS_OPER - (Col 1-7) TS_Operator is a 7-digit code assigned to the Transportation Lines vessel operator by

Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center (WCSC). The vessel inventory for each TS_Operator is reported

annually to WCSC and is contained in the Vessel Master File. 

NAME - (Col 8-107) Name is a 100 character field identifying the TS_Operator company name.

ADDRESS - (Col 108-240) Address is a 133 character field containing the street address of the

TS_Operator.

STATE - (Col 241-242) State contains the address state abbreviation for the TS_Operator. 

ZIP - (Col 243-252) Zip is a 10 character field containing the first 5 digits, and if available, the last 4 digits

of the nine digit zip code for the TS_Operator address.

AREA - (Col 253-255) Area is the 3-digit area code for the telephone number of the TS_Operator. 

PHONE - (Col 256-263) Phone is an 8-digit alphanumeric field containing the telephone number of the

TS_Operator, including a "-" between the first 3 digits and last 4 digits.

DIST - (Col 264-265) District contains a 2-digit code for the Corps District number in which the vessel is

domiciled.

SERIES - (Col 266) Series contains the digit 3, 4 or 5 to designate the series in which this operator would

have appeared under the previous policy of publishing three volumes. The three volumes were compiled

by geographical region as follows:

TS-3 Transportation Lines on the Great Lakes System

TS-4 Transportation Lines on the Mississippi River System and the Gulf Intracoastal 

Waterway

TS-5 Transportation Lines on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coasts 

SERVICE - (Col 267) Service specifies the type of service in which the operator transports goods. These

types of services are defined below:

1 Carriage performed for compensation that is regulated by the Interstate 

Commerce Commission (ICC).

2 Carriage performed for compensation, but exempt from regulation by the ICC.

3 Carriage performed by a private entity where the vessel and the goods being 

transported are owned by the same entity.

PRINC_COMM - (Col 268-507) Principal Commodities carried by the TS_Operator.

POINT_LOC - (Col 508-747) Points or Localities and Waterways between which or on which the

Transportation Lines - Vessel Master File

Appendix 4: WTLUS - 3

Transportation Lines - Vessel Master File

Field Descriptions

VESSEL - (Col 1-5) Vessel code is a unique vessel identification number assigned by Waterborne

Commerce Statistics Center (WCSC).

VS_NAME - (Col 6-25) Vessel Name is a 20 character field used to describe the vessel by name.

VS_NUMBER - (Col 26-35) Vessel Number is a 10 character field used to describe the vessel number.

CG_NUMBER - (Col 36-45) Coast Guard Number is the official number assigned to this particular vessel

by the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of registration. This number is normally retained by a vessel

throughout the life of the vessel.

VTCC - (Col 46-49) Vessel Type, Construction and Characteristics field contains a 4 character

alphanumeric code which describes in general terms the vessel type, construction and characteristics of its

use; e.g. 2A22 represents the code for a self propelled tanker constructed of steel which is being used as a

liquid bulk tanker. See Appendix 4, WTLUS for an explanation of the VTCC codes.

NRT - (Col 50-55) Net Register Tonnage (NRT) contains 6 numeric characters that specify the NRT of a

particular vessel. The NRT is defined as the volume of space available for the accommodation of

passengers and the stowage of cargo, expressed in units of 100 cubic feet for each net register ton. The NRT

is recorded on the vessel's registration papers or it can be determined as the difference between gross

tonnage and the volume of space used for the accommodation of the vessel master, officers, crew,

navigation and propelling machinery expressed in units of 100 cubic feet per ton. The NRT should not be

confused with a tonnage capacity because it simply expresses a volume capacity for passengers and cargo. 

Depending on the type of cargo being transported the tonnage that can be stowed in the volume of 100

cubic feet will vary, although generally speaking, the total tonnage capacity should not exceed three times

the NRT of the vessel.

HRP - (Col 56-60) Horsepower contains 5 numeric characters which specify the horsepower rating for that

particular vessel. The figures in this field represent the horsepower rating reported when the vessel was

new or when the present engine was installed.

REG_LNGTH - (Col 61-66) Register Length contains 6 numeric characters which specify the register
