WJ Editorial

The Waterways Journal advocates for policies, practices and regulations that allow the barge transportation industry to continue to operate in the safest and most economical way possible. We recognize those leaders who understand the inherent advantages of barge transport, and challenge those who push harmful policies.

The Waterways Journal welcomes letters from readers on any subjects related to the river industry or covered in our articles or editorials. To send a letter, please click here.
