Anew Biden administration report on the clogged supply chain that has caused persistent ship backlogs at U.S. ports and rising prices for consumers has recommended that further investments in the inland waterway system will help ease congestion. Funding the modernization of the nation's aging lock and dam system on the inland waterways, which often move cargo that arrives at U.S. ports, is one of 60 recommendations in the report. The report lays out vulnerabilities in the freight and logistics supply chain and suggests actions that can be taken by Washington, state governments and private companies to "speed up the movement of goods from ships to shelves." |
