The American Waterways Operators released a new video July 11 that highlights the tugboat, towboat and barge industry's sustainability leadership and its commitment to protecting the environment. The two-minute video, "The Tugboat, Towboat and Barge Industry: A Sustainability Leader Today, and Tomorrow," explains that the industry is the greenest mode of freight transportation today. Just one dry cargo barge can carry as much freight as 16 rail cars or 70 trucks, and barges produce less carbon emissions than other modes; when moving the same amount of cargo, barges produce 43 percent less emissions than rail and 800 percent less than trucks. |
