Recently, I interviewed Jennifer Carpenter, president and CEO of the American Waterways Operators, the national advocate for the U.S. tugboat, towboat and barge industry.
Among the topics discussed were the effects of Covid-19 on the industry, the Biden administration and the new Congress, Subchapter M, VIDA implementation, and the forecast for the infrastructure bill.
