We conducted an independent, third-party analysis of the wharfage rate at the public oil docks on liquid bulk cargo payable by the crude oil refiners at the Port of Corpus Christi, TX. Tasks included creation of a life cycle cost model to estimate the revenues that would be necessary to compensate the port for the facilities and services it provides; a market analysis comparing the port’s recommended and current wharfage rate to other ports; and a benefits analysis of the port’s franchise structure. This work took place in 2011.
