| 摘要： | The year 2023 was another busy, productive but tumultuous one for the U.S. economy and the barge industry. The effects of the ongoing El Nino-Southern Oscillation whipsawed river levels and brought dredges out to work overtime to preserve waterborne cargo flows. Climate effects were felt all over the world, as drought curtailed commercial traffic on the Rhine River, the Panama Canal and the Amazon River as well as the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Despite challenges, heroic efforts by the Corps of Engineers, dredging contractors and barge industry partners helped keep cargoes flowing safely and with a minimum of incidents. Infrastructure work on locks and dams was sped up by funding from two important funding bills, and significant milestones were reached in the search for lower carbon emissions for our industry, even as the energy transition in the larger society hit several pause points. |
