Supply Chain Disruption Begins with Missing Data
Current systems fail to capture the full picture of river freight—causing delays, price spikes, and poor decision-making.
- USDA weekly barge report is delayed by 7–10 days, and limited to select locks.
- AIS tracking only shows tugboats, not unpowered cargo barges.
- Climate events like droughts reduce river levels, barge load capacity, and shipping volume.
- In 2022, drought on the Mississippi River caused an estimated $20 billion in economic losses.
