| 摘要： | The Corps of Engineers' lock-closure schedules through 2024 were the topic when barge industry stakeholders and Corps officials from multiple districts met September 7 at the St. Louis District's Service Base.These stakeholder feedback meetings have been held regularly, although on no fixed schedule, for years. The barge industry has a keen interest in lock closure schedules because companies often book freight up to a year in advance.Marty Hettel, vice president-government affairs at American Commercial Barge Line, member of the Inland Waterways Users Board and an industry veteran of many forums and venues, began the meeting by quickly running through figures of lock and dam closures in the current year, includ-ing the numbers of tows and barges delayed and how much the delays cost the towing and barge industry.The stakeholder meetings originated as an internal meeting of Corps officials in the Pittsburgh Engineer District to discuss lock closures in the Ohio River system, according to Hettel. Towing industry officials were invited to sit in. The Pittsburgh meetings were found to be so useful that they were expanded and extended until they covered all the Corps districts and lock and dam projects. |
