| 摘要： | In 2020, U.S. shipyards ended a three-year decline in new jumbo hopper barge construction despite the negative economic effects from Co-vid-19, according to River Transport News (RTN). Last year saw improvement in U.S. economic activity, but deliveries of new hopper barges fell, RTN said in its Jan. 24 newsletter. According to RTN's annual survey of new hopper barge construction, barge operators on the Mississippi River System took delivery of 300 new jumbo hopper barges in 2021. Deliveries were down 22% from the 385 new hopper barges delivered in 2020, RTN reported. RTN said that "new hopper barge building activity was subdued by recent historical standards." In 2016, new hopper barge deliveries totaled nearly 1,000 barges. RTN said that the primary reason for the dip in new barge construction last year was "skyrocketing steel prices." |
