Resumen

This chapter of the Code of Alabama adopts the Ameraport Deep Draft Harbor and Terminal Compact entered into between the states of Alabama and Mississippi. The purpose of this compact is to promote the development of a deep draft harbor and terminal to be located on the continental shelf of the United States, in the Gulf of Mexico, and to establish a joint interstate authority to assist in this effort. For the purpose of the compact set out in this chapter, the term "deep draft harbor and terminal" means a structure, series of structures or facility of any type located on the continental shelf off the coast designed to accommodate deep draft vessels whose draft is greater than the depths of the present United States harbors and waterways commonly used by oceangoing traffic, and includes all functionally related structures and facilities which are necessary or useful to the operation of the terminal whether on land or seaward of the main structure or facility.
