The BARGE COMMODITY
PROFILE 2008

4th Annual Edition
Now Available

Informa Economics is releasing its 4th annual "Barge Commodity Profile" report, which is now available.  Like the Barge Fleet Profile, this report will prove to be an invaluable resource.  The analytic report of historical information incorporates the domestic internal waterborne commerce data of the Army Corps of Engineers by type of barge movement.  Informa Economics then reconciles these movements with the available fleet size from the Barge Fleet Profile Report by barge type to derive Informa Economics' exclusive Barge Pressure Indices for covered and open Barges.

The BARGE FLEET
PROFILE 2008

21st Annual Edition
Now Available

Informa Economics' continuing study, "The Barge Fleet Profile," is now in its 21st year of public distribution.   It seeks to identify the line haul, commodity carrying fleet of inland barges operating on the Mississippi River System, its connecting waterways and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.  Data and information are gathered through an annual survey of operators, personal contact, use of available Corps of Engineers and Coast Guard statistics and reference to the author's historic research materials.

Informa Economics Multi-Client Study: 

Evaluation and Outlook of the US Inland Barge Industry

The inland river dry cargo barge industry operates amidst a volatile revenue and rate of return environment, moving commodities and products that not only respond to variations in tonnage and the supply of barges but to weather, policy, competing modes and a myriad of other factors. Given the recent volatile revenue and rate of return environment in the inland barge industry, Informa Economics is conducting an important and timely multi-client study to examine all of these factors and develop a coherent picture of the future of the covered dry cargo barge industry.

The comprehensive outline and proposed goals for this multi-client activity as well as an enrollment form are available HERE....
