| 摘要： | Barge operators were very conservative when it came to spending on new equipment last year, with deliveries of new hopper barges declining for a second year in a row. Mississippi River barge operators took possession of 226 new jumbo hopper barges in 2022, a drop of 25% from the 300 acquired in 2021, according to the annual survey of new hopper barge construction by River Transport News. By comparison, construction was especially active in 2016, with nearly 1,000 hoppers hitting the waterways. The main reason for declines over the past two years has been the record high prices for plate steel used in barge construction, which has increased the cost of new equipment and discouraged investment despite strong barge rates in the dry cargo barge market. |
