CONTENTS
Introduction

The annual revision of the Waterborne

Transportation Lines of the United States

(WTLUS) contains summary information of

the vessel companies and their American

flag vessels operating or available for

operation on 31 December 2003 including

updates through 01 August 2004 in the

transportation of freight and passengers.

Ferry1 operators and their ferry

characteristics are included. Floating

equipment used in construction work, such

as dredges, piledrivers, and flats; fishing

vessels; and recreational craft are not

included. The WTLUS is prepared under

authority contained in the Rivers and

Harbors Appropriations Act approved 22

September 1922, (42 Stat. 1043), as

amended, and codified in 33 U.S.C. 555.

The National Summaries, Volume 1, is

one of three publications for the annual

revision of the WTLUS, which provides a

condensation of the vessel data detailed in

the WTLUS. Summarized vessel

characteristics are represented in both

tabular and graphic format.

The Vessel Company Summary,

Volume 2, provides a summary of the

vessel companies detailed in the WTLUS,

Vessel Characteristics, Volume 3. The

names of the vessel companies are listed

alphabetically with their business address

and telephone number, the Engineer District

number, the TSOperator (vessel company)

number (for usage in querying computer

data), principal commodities carried, the

points or localities and waterways between

which or on which operated and the number

of vessels reported by vessel type.

The Vessel Characteristics, Volume 3,

lists the vessel companies in alphabetical

sequence and describes each vessel

surveyed by indicating its name and

number, Coast Guard number, net tonnage,

type by VTCC code (Vessel Type,

Construction and Characteristics) and ICST

code (International Classification of Ships

by Type; see Terminology for VTCC and

ICST), register and overall length and

breadth, loaded and light draft, horsepower,

carrying capacity in short tons or units of

cargo and number of passengers, height of

fixed superstructures, cargo handling

equipment, operating headquarters, and

year built or rebuilt. Detail vessel

characteristics may not be available for all

vessels included in the total WTLUS vessel

inventory.

The detail vessel data is available upon

request on diskettes or CD-ROM. Ordering

information is available from the

Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center,

P.O. Box 61280, New Orleans, LA

70161-1280. (Telephone 504/862-1424 or

FAX 504/862-1423).

The WTLUS publication is a by-product

of the Waterborne Commerce Statistics

Center (WCSC) Master Vessel File. The

annual survey would be done even if there

were no WTLUS publication because the

survey is a necessary and integral part of

the WCSC enforcement and collection

program. Tracking vessel owners and

operators is the primary means of

identifying non-reporting carriers and new

vessel operating companies.

1. A ferry is a vessel that conveys passengers and/or vehicles (driven on and off the vessel) across a

narrow body of water (river, strait, inlet, etc.).
Terminology

TSOperator: (Vessel Company) a Transportation Lines vessel company surveyed and assigned a seven

digit code by the Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center (WCSC). The vessel inventory for each

TSOperator is reported annually to WCSC and is contained in the Master Vessel File. The first

two digits of the TSOperator code denotes the Engineer Division / District code with the last five

digits forming a unique number assigned to a particular TSOperator. There are 3,137

TSOperators listed in the WTLUS publication for calendar year 2003.

Engineer Division / District: (ENGR DIST) WCSC two digit code for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer

Division / District. Its usage in the TSOperator code is to identify where the vessel company is

domiciled.

Coast Guard Number: the official number assigned to a 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.

Net Tonnage: 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 ton. The net tonnage 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 net tonnage 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 net tonnage of the vessel.

VTCC Code: Vessel Type, Construction and Characteristics code, which describes in general terms the

vessel type, construction and characteristics of the marine structure; e.g. 2A22 represents the

code for a self-propelled, liquid bulk tanker constructed of steel. See the “Explanation of Vessel

Type, Construction and Characteristics” listing for descriptions of the VTCC codes on page vi.

ICST Code: International Classification of Ships by Type was developed by an ad hoc international

advisory group on Maritime Statistics and completed in 1994. The classification is based on the

construction characteristics of the marine structure and not upon its particular use or cargo

carried at a point in time. The ICST codes and descriptions and the cross reference list between

the VTCC and ICST codes are provided on pages v and vii, respectively.

Length

Register: (LENGTH REG.) the length of the vessel measured on the top of the tonnage deck from

the forepart of the outer planking or plating at the bow to the afterpart of the sternpost of screw

steamers and to the afterpart of the rudder post of other vessels. The register length is reported in

units of feet to the nearest tenth.

Overall: the extreme length of the vessel which would include any structure which extends beyond

the outer planking or plating on the bow or any structure that extends beyond the sternpost on

screw steamers and to the afterpart of the rudder post of other vessels. The overall length is

reported in units of feet to the nearest tenth.

Breadth

Register: (BRDTH REG.) the breadth of the vessel at its widest part measured from the outerside of

the planking or plating on one side to the corresponding point on the opposite side, reported in

units of feet to the nearest tenth.

Overall: the extreme breadth or maximum breadth of the vessel to the outside of the vessel’s

structure, reported in units of feet to the nearest tenth. Includes the paddle boxes in paddle ships.

Draft

Loaded: the draft of the vessel when fully loaded, reported in units of feet to the nearest tenth.

Light: the draft of the vessel when it is empty, reported in units of feet to the nearest tenth.

Horsepower: horsepower rating when the vessel was new or when the present engine was installed.

Capacity Tons: (cargo capacity) the full load capacity of the vessel in short tons (2,000 lbs.).

Passengers: the passenger capacity of the vessel in units.

Capacity Reference: designates a type of cargo carried by that particular vessel as defined:

Character Type of Cargo

Blank General Bulk Cargo

+ Railroad Cars

# Autos, Vehicles, Trailers

% Cargo Capacity Railroad Cars

@ Vans

& Container

Highest Fixed Point: the height of the highest fixed point on the vessel in units of feet to the nearest

tenth. The height represents the distance between the waterline of the vessel (when light) and the

highest fixed point on the vessel, such as a pilot house, mast, etc. If the highest point of a vessel

is a hinged stack or retractable pilot house, the distance is given to the hinge or top of pilot house

in lowered position.

Cargo Handling Equipment: permanent fixtures on the vessel, such as cranes, derricks, hoists, pumps,

etc. and handling capacity and type of power used to operate the equipment, such as steam,

electric, diesel, etc. LINE-1 and LINE-2 break up the descriptive data to print in a two line format.

State Code: the U.S. Postal code for state abbreviation for the operating headquarters of the vessel.

Vessel Operating Base: the city or locality of the operating headquarters of the vessel. LINE-1 and

LINE-2 break up the descriptive data to print in a two line format.

Year Built: the calendar year the vessel was built or rebuilt.

WTLUS: NATIONAL SUMMARIES

iv U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
Rebuilt: An asterisk specifies that the year given will be the year the vessel was rebuilt rather than the

year built. Rebuilt status is a vessel modification or significant improvement that extends the

working life of the vessel. This status is left to the discretion of the vessel company surveyed.

Selected Inland Commercial Vessels

These vessels are commonly used in the transport of commodities on the inland waterway system. This

is not intended to be a complete description of all merchant vessels using the inland waterway system

Self-Propelled

Tugboat: Self-propelled vessel with a V - shaped bow designed for the towing (and pushing) of ships

or other floating structures such as barges in ports/harbors.

Towboat/Push Boat: Self-propelled vessel designed to tow/push barges and pontoons. The hull is

usually rectangular in plan and has little freeboard. A pair of knees of ample strength and height

engage barges of various depths to maneuver the tow.

Non-Self-Propelled

Barge: A category of vessel designed as non-self-propelled units for the carriage of cargo on the

weather deck or in holds or in tanks. The units are towed/pushed by another ship (tug or pusher

vessel).

Dry Cargo Barge: Non-self-propelled vessel, usually flat bottomed and rectangular in structure with

cargo space below deck. The cargo space may be covered or uncovered. Usually used to

transport bulk commodities on rivers and canals. The industry commonly refers to these barges

as open/covered hopper barges1

.

Deck Barge: Non-self-propelled vessel, usually flat bottomed and rectangular in structure, having an

intact deck for the carriage of bulk materials. Commonly referred to as a scow, lighter or hoy.

Lash/Seabee Barge: A barge, usually flat-bottomed and rectangular in structure to be lightered

aboard a mother ship.

Tank Barge: Non-self-propelled vessel constructed and arranged for the carriage of liquid cargoes in

tanks integral to the hull or independent of the hull. Pumping arrangements may be provided on

board or left to shore equipment. Typical cargoes would include petroleum and other liquids.

Single Hull Tank Barge: A tank barge with the sides and the bottom being single hull.

Double Hull Tank Barge: A tank barge with the sides and the bottom being double hull.

Double Sided Tank Barge: A tank barge with the sides being double hull and the bottom being

single hull.

Double Bottom Tank Barge: A tank barge with the sides being single hull and the bottom being

double hull.

1. Most companies responding to the Transportation Annual Survey do not classify vessels according to

the textbook definition of a hopper barge, which describes a barge designed for the carriage of dredged

material or other waste material in hoppers for subsequent discharge elsewhere through the bottom of the

barge by means of doors/valves or by means of a split hull separation.
