摘要：	Operators, waterway managers and other stakeholders of the Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway gathered in Orange Beach, Ala., May 10-12 for the 73rd annual meeting of the Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway Association (WTWA). The waterway has come a long way since the founding of its association, said Horace Horn, vice president of external affairs at PowerSouth Energy and WTWA chairman, during his introductory remarks. "We've been around a long time and accomplished a lot of good things," Horn said. "In the past 74 years, we've seen the importance of the waterway's contribution to the region's economy. Shipping has increased. Looking back to 1951, we shipped 2.5 million tons. In 2021, we shipped 21 million tons. The freight on the waterway continues to increase, and we think we owe a lot of that growth to the work of this association and its leadership." As always, attendees heard reports from representatives of the Mobile Engineer District and Coast Guard Sector Mobile.
