PROJECTIONS OF PRINCIPAL U.S. DRY BULK COMMODITY SEABORNE IMPORTS AND EXPORTS FOR 1975 AND 1995

The objective of this study is to make two sets of forecasts, one interim ( 1975 ) and one long term ( 1995 ) of the major seaborne bulk cargo movements to and from the United States, together with coastwise movements when appropriate. These forecasts were commissioned by the Maritime Administration ( MarAd ) as part of the basis of its plans for creating a U. S.-built and U. S.-operated bulk cargo fleet.
