| 摘要： | Jumbo hopper barge deliveries to Mississippi River operators increased for the first time in three years in 2020, with 385 new barges delivered compared to 186 in 2019, according to River Transport News. The increase was mostly driven by a drop in steel and barge prices, but more jumbo hopper barge building capacity was added when Madisonville, La.-based Arcosa Marine Products restarted construction operations. As many as 17 barge companies took delivery of jumbo hopper barges last year, with Florida Marine Transporters (FMT) leading the pack with 70 new bottoms, RTN said. Other operators who took delivery of new jumbo hoppers in 2020 included Cargo Carriers (55), East Side River Transportation (50), Heartland Barge Management (46) and Crounse Corp. (33). The inland tank barge market was soft in 2020, with only 143 new tank barges built compared to 177 in 2019. "The vast majority of these deliveries were for barges booked before the effects of the pandemic became apparent in the transportation marketplace," RTN reported. "As a consequence, a number of barges built last year have yet to enter commercial service as they are awaiting sale or charter by their original purchasers." |
