Our nation's waterways are the economic engine that allows our agriculture, manufacturing and energy sectors to thrive by being the most cost-effective and energy-efficient mode of transportation in the world. Listen here for the latest news, people and companies that make the industry what it is today. The Barge In Podcast was created to tell the back stories of the owners, operators and companies that are the lifeblood of this industry and the economic engine that drives the country forward. In addition, we plan on spending some time talking about the various commodities that are moved throughout the system and exported to the rest of the world. We’ll have discussions on freight rates, tariffs, trade policies and international or geopolitical issues that so often have an impact on a quarterly and yearly basis. Time will be spent with our industry groups like WCI, NWF, AWO and many others to get the latest updates on issues critical to the industry like infrastructure funding, Jones Act, Subchapter M, etc. We will also look to bring on guests from the Ports and Terminals, Shipyard and Repair Facilities, Marine contractors and dredging operations, Salvage, Divers and surveyors. And last but not least, we will certainly sprinkle in some interviews with some of the leading Admiralty Attorneys servicing the industry along with underwriters and insurance brokers to cover the various hot topics of the day.
