The Waterways Journal is happy to present the results of the 2021 Mississippi River System Barge Fleet Survey. This study is constructed to provide an estimate as to the size and age of dry cargo (hopper) barges and liquid carge (tank) barges in operation on the system that includes the Gulf In- tracoastal Waterway. The 2022 survey was sent to barge operators and results are expected to be released by June 1, 2023, pending industry response and feedback. Disclaimer: While every effort was made to confirm barge counts, this was not always possible. The values should be interpreted as sam- pled estimates and should not be used as the basis for precision calculations or further statistical derivations. To provide historical context, 2021 data was compared to the 2020 Barge Fleet Profile, previously produced by IHS Markit. The data was previously made available to press and the full report was purchased by The Waterways Journal. Differences in methodology and respondents exist. We do not guarantee accuracy. |
