USACE works with port authorities from across the United States to develop the statistical port boundaries through an iterative and collaborative process. Port boundary information is prepared by USACE to increase transparency on public waterborne commerce statistic reporting, as well as to modernize how the data type is stored, analyzed, and reported. A Port Area is defined by the limits set by overarching legislative enactments of state, county, or city governments, or the corporate limits of a municipality. A port typically refers to a geographical area that includes operational activities related to maritime transport as well as acquisition, operation, and management of port infrastructure and property, such as might be associated with ownership, concession, construction approval, or policy decision-making authority. A Port Statistical Area (PSA) is a region with formally justified shared economic interests and collective reliance on infrastructure related to waterborne movements of commodities that is formally recognized by legislative enactments of state, county, or city governments. PSAs generally contain groups of county legislation for the sole purpose of statistical reporting. Through GIS mapping, legislative boundaries, and stakeholder collaboration, PSAs often serve as the primary unit for aggregating and reporting commerce statistics for broader geographical areas. Per Engineering Regulation 1130-2-520, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Navigation Data Center is responsible to collect, compile, publish, and disseminate waterborne commerce statistics. This task has subsequently been charged to the Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center to perform. Performance of this work is in accordance with the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1922. Included in this work is the definition of a port area. A port area is defined in Engineering Pamphlet 1130-2-520 as: (1) Port limits defined by legislative enactments of state, county, or city governments. (2) The corporate limits of a municipality. The USACE enterprise-wide port and port statistical area feature classes per EP 1130-2-520 are organized in SDSFIE 4.0.2 format.

HSIP Non-Crossing Ports-of-Entry A Port of Entry is any designated place at which a CBP officer is authorized to accept entries of merchandise to collect duties, and to enforce the various provisions of the customs and navigation laws (19 CFR 101.1).

The Commercial Strategic Seaports dataset was compiled on October 04, 2021 from the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The National Port Readiness Network (NPRN) consists of Strategic Commercial Seaports able to support force deployment during contingencies and other defense emergencies. Nine federal agencies and organizations, USDOT/Maritime Administration (MARAD), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Military Sea-lift Command (MSC), U.S. Army Forces Command (USFORSCOM), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), and U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) are responsible for providing guidance to the NPRN program and for supporting the secure movement of military forces through U.S. ports. This dataset includes all 18 commercial ports that currently belong to the NPRN. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529080

This map depicts various data types collected and disseminated by active Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) stations maintained and operated by the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS). These stations are operated in partnership with a range of entities to facilitate maritime commerce.PORTS is a decision support tool that improves the safety and efficiency of maritime commerce and coastal resource management through the integration of real-time environmental observations, forecasts and other geospatial information. PORTS provides accurate real-time oceanographic information tailored to the specific needs of the local community. These regional systems allow mariners to maintain an adequate margin of safety for the increasingly large vessels visiting U.S. ports, while allowing port operators to maximize port throughput.

The NOAA Precision Marine Navigation (PMN) program will benefit many ports by integrating and distributing NOAA datasets in the international S-100 format which is machine-to-machine readable format and first pilot data are available for industry testing. Simultaneously, NOAA has been using the PMN program as a way to identify ports in need of updated or new data and coordinate efforts across NOAA offices and even other agencies when additional resources are available. NOAA is often asked "Which port will be the next PMN port?" This map contains information on the number of incidents (allisions, collisions, and groundings) in port waterways downloaded from the U.S. Coast Guard. This map displays the number of incidents at each port/port complex by ranking according to the recently completed NOAA Socioeconomic Study, and it also shows the incidents by type when zoomed in on a specific port. Viewers can explore the types of vessels and levels of damage incurred by each incident. Citation for incident data: USCG (U.S. Coast Guard).

Canada is a maritime nation with access to three oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic), and shared access to the longest inland waterway system in the world, the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway system of waterways. The map shows approximately 590 major ports, the Seaway (including major locks) and vessel traffic service zones. The Canada Marine Act governs Canada’s port and harbour systems. The ports, comprising the National Port System, have been classified into three major types: Canada Port Authorities (CPAs), regional/local ports and remote ports. The largest ports are the 19 CPAs and 1 harbour commission (Oshawa), recognized by the Federal government as vital to domestic and international trade. The Canada Shipping Act provides for regulations which govern vessel traffic in the 11 vessel service traffic zones.

Accessibility to ports dataset is modelled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis, normalized from 0 to 100, where 0 corresponds to the lowest accessibility. The model travel time/cost from/to ports is defined for major maritime ports only, although major lake ports as those in Lake Victoria can have some relevance considering the export markets in neighboring countries that can be reached through them. This 1km resolution raster dataset is part of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (optimal location).
