The report presents the results of a study of inland marine port operations. It was performed for the United States Maritime Administration through the East-West Gateway Coordinating Council, which is the regional planning agency for the Metropolitan St. Louis Area. This text provides a reasonably comprehensive overview of an inland waterways port and should serve as a primer on the subject. Although the official purpose of the study was to identify water flow and other factors which affect inland port operations, the study provides the first reasonably thorough analysis of an inland waterways port as a part of the nation's transportation system.
