| 摘要： | Poor operating conditions brought on by a drought that made parts of the Mississippi River unnavigable, worker shortages, inflation jitters, and lingering problems due to Covid have all affected the workboat industry. Arguably, the workboat sector hit the hardest by these developments has been the passenger vessel industry. In this month's cover story (see page 24), Betsy Haggerty reports that despite all of the aforementioned, 2022 was a good year for passenger vessel operators. Covid restrictions that almost shut down the industry in 2020 are pretty much gone. Social distancing and mask requirements that kept people away eased in 2021, and by the end of that year, operators were optimistic that better times were ahead. And they were right. Business did improve in 2022 with many companies operating at 80% to 90% capacity on sightseeing trips. In addition, profitable corporate charters are finally starting to come back. |
