Inflation and rising interest rates are driving up the cost of just about everything. Every industry is facing labor challenges. Logistics issues are making it harder to secure anything from manufactured goods to some raw materials. No doubt, the way these issues manifest themselves will vary from industry to industry. One way they are impacting the maritime industry is by driving up valuations for towboats, both existing vessels and new construction projects. George Beck, marine asset appraisals manager for Sabine Surveyors, a Metairie, La.-based provider of marine surveying, auditing and consulting services, will discuss the way inflation is impacting the maritime in- dustry, specifically with regard to tow-boat valuations, during the 10th annual Inland Marine Expo (IMX), to be held in Nashville, Tenn., at the Music City Center May 31-June 2. Beck's session, titled "Inflation and Its Effect on Marine Asset Valuations," will be held June 2 at 11:15 a.m. |
