Transportation Planning

Glosten conducts a wide range of transportation and economic performance studies that enable our clients to make practical decisions for increasing the operating efficiency of their vessels and equipment. We have leveraged our experience and expertise in naval architecture, risk and reliability, and systems analysis to develop unique capabilities for designing marine transportation systems that are workable and cost-effective for our clients.

Since 1958 the firm has developed considerable expertise in the planning of tug and barge transportation systems, and is also experienced in planning ship, ferry, and high performance vessel systems. We are internationally known in the study of marine transportation risk, due to weather, collisions, etc., and we have particular experience in planning the movement of radioactive material by barge.
