摘要：	In the summer of 2020, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, economic developers and leaders from the states maritime industry gathered on the east bank of the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge at The Water Institute of the Gulf. They announced the launch of a "smart port initiative" aimed at crowd-sourcing real-time shoaling data at harbors up and down the river. Their aim was to, eventually, develop a predictive model to aid in harbor maintenance and vessel traffic planning. Just over two years later, around 70 vessels working on the Mississippi River in Louisiana are part of the "SmartPort" project, or what's more formally called the "Lower Mississippi River SmartPort & Resilience Center." Officials from the Water Institute, an independent, nonprofit research organization, hope to raise that number to 100 vessels, with all of them passively collecting draft data that is stored, anonymously, at the institute's campus in Baton Rouge. That data will be analyzed to develop an application that will help ports, terminals and operators better schedule maintenance and time vessel movements.
