The Waterways Journal is delighted to welcome you back to the live, in-person version of the Inland Marine Expo.It's a challenging but exciting time to be doing business on the inland waterways. While the COVID-19 pandemic still haunts us, the relaxation of some restrictions and the restarting of the economy has begun. This is allowing pent-up demand in many sectors to unleash what many are predicting will be an economic boom.That said, a lot has changed in the past year, and it is by no means clear that business and supply chains will return to the way things were pre-pandemic. We have a new administration and new policymakers, whose collective actions will certainly play a big a part. Extreme commodity prices are making an impact. Trade policy and domestic infrastructure spending promise to have long-term implications. |
