| 摘要： | At the Inland Marine Expo (IMX) in St. Louis in May, the head of the American Waterways Operators (AWO) implored inland waterways members to do more in support of the industry. Jennifer Carpenter, AWO's president and CEO, discussed her association's efforts to promote the economic and security contributions, as well as the safety and environmental advantages, of the maritime industry. "Our past and our present give us a solid foundation to build on," said Carpenter, calling the tugboat, towboat and barge industry "an indispensable part of the U.S. supply chain today." The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law by President Biden in November, will provide $17 billion for ports and waterways infrastructure, including $2.5 billion of 100% federal funding for inland waterways construction and major rehabilitation projects, and $4 billion for Army Corps of Engineers operations and maintenance. The money will fund to comple- tion five out of the 15 top priority projects. |
