摘要：	It's been a long couple of years for most business sectors due to the pandemic, and this includes the barge industry. When the pandemic started to take hold in 2020, barge operators began to suffer big losses as demand for barging plummeted. But operators soon continued to move products despite many challenges, including keeping crews healthy and equipment in service. Their perseverance is at last paying off. Over the past year operators report that business has been steadily improving across all barging sectors. As Pamela Glass reports in this month's cover story (see page 30), operators are busy again moving cargo along inland rivers, including an unusual bump in coal exports, effects of the pandemic appear to be waning, and many companies report that demand has returned to pre-pandemic levels.
