| 摘要： | The years-long effort to deepen the Mississippi River Ship Channel (MRSC) from 47 feet to 50 feet crossed a major milestone last month when the Crescent River Port Pilots Association (CRPPA), which guides ships from Pilottown at Head of Passes up to New Orleans, increased its maximum draft recommendation from 47 feet to 48 feet. Three days earlier, on December 17, 2021, the Associated Branch Pilots of the Port of New Orleans (or Bar Pilots) upped its maximum draft recommendation to 49 feet. The Bar Pilots guide vessels between Head of Passes, or Mile 0, and the Gulf of Mexico. It's the first time the "controlling draft" on the river has been increased since it was deepened to 47 feet in the late 1980s and early 1990s. "The newly-established controlling maximum freshwater draft of 48 feet is a key victory to the nationally-significant proj- ect to mechanically deepen the Mississippi River Ship Channel," Sean Duffy, executive director of the Big River Coalition, wrote to stakeholders last month. "The targeted goal of this project is to deepen the MRSC to 50 feet from Mile 233.8 Above Head of Passes (AHP) in Baton Rouge to Mile 22 Below Head of Passes (BHP). |
