摘要：	While COVID-19 proved the dominant newsmaker for much of 2020, a steady stream of dredging and waterway announcements during the year will, hopefully, have a much more enduring-and endearing-impact on the maritime industry. The waterway deepening news started early in the year, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 2020 work plan, released February 10. The work plan, remarkably, included both funding for the first phase of deepening the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge, La., to the Gulf of Mexico to 50 feet and more than $274 million to fully fund the construction of the Mobile Harbor channel deepening project in Alabama, which will also bring that channel to 50 feet. The Mobile Engineer Districts commander, Col. Sebastien Joly, and John Driscoll, CEO of the Alabama State Port Authority, signed the project partnership agreement for the Mobile Harbor deepening in June. The following month, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards; Renee Lapeyrolerie, multimodal commissioner for the state; Maj. Gen. Dianna Holland, commander of the Corps' Mississippi Valley Division; and Col. Stephen Murphy, commander of the New Orleans Engineer District, gathered at the New Orleans District's headquarters to sign the partnership agreement for the Mississippi River deepening.
