USA’s inland waterways include over 25,000 miles of navigable waters. Most of the commercially important waterways consist of the Mississippi River system.
In the west, the Columbia, San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers are the only major navigable rivers as steep grades and variable flows of the rivers make them unsuitable for navigation. Also, most large rivers are damned in multiple places to supply water for hydroelectricity production and other uses. A shortage of water and mountainous terrain in the West make canals unfeasible.
Commercial operators (carriers) who use navigable waterways pay a fuel tax, deposited in the Inland Waterways Trust Fund, which funds half the cost of new construction and major rehabilitation of the inland waterways infrastructure.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (CoE) is a federal agency and a major Army command made up of some 38,000 civilian and military personnel, making it the world's largest public engineering, design and construction management agency. Although generally associated with dams, canals, and flood protection, the CoE is also involved in a wide range of public works support to the nation and the DoD throughout the world.
With regards to inland waterway system management, the CoE is responsible for planning, designing, building and operating the nations locks and dams. Other responsibilities include flood control, dredging and beach nourishment for waterway navigation.

Intracoastal Waterway SystemIntracoastal Waterway System
Inland WaterInland Water
The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is located along the Gulf Coast of the US. It is a navigable inland waterway running approximately 1000 miles from Carrabelle, Florida to Brownsville, Texas.
The Intracoastal Waterway is a 3,000-mile waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the USA. Some lengths consist of natural inlets, salt-water rivers, bays, and sounds; others are artificial canals. It provides a navigable route along its length without many of the hazards of travel on the open sea. The waterway provides a channel at a controlling depth of 12 feet, designed for barge transportation.
The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway runs for most of the length of the eastern seaboard from its northern location at Virginia Beach, Virginia to Key West, Florida.

The Mississippi River is the largest river system in North America. Flowing entirely in the USA, it rises in northern Minnesota and meanders slowly southwards for 2,530 miles to the Mississippi River Delta at the Gulf of Mexico. With its many tributaries, the Mississippi's watershed drains all or parts of 31 states between the Rocky Mountains and Appalachian Mountains reaching into southern Canada. The Mississippi ranks 4th longest and the 10th largest among the world's rivers.

Tennessee River System Tennessee River System
Inland WaterInland Water
The Tennessee River’s main navigable channel is 652 miles long. It begins a mile above Knoxville, Tennessee, and eventually joins the Ohio River at Paducah, Kentucky. Commercial navigation also extends into three major tributaries: 61 miles up the Clinch River, 29 miles up the Little Tennessee River and 22 miles up the Hiwassee River. Another 374 miles of channel that is too shallow for commercial traffic is marked by TVA for recreational boaters.
13
Until TVA went to work in 1933, navigation on the Tennessee River was severely hampered by shoals, rapids and the effects of droughts and flooding. TVA created an open river road from Knoxville, Tenn., to Paducah, Ky., and the region’s economy continues to benefit today.

From its beginning just above Knoxville, the Tennessee River drops a total of 513 feet in elevation before it joins the Ohio River. The TVA system of nine main-river dams allows boats to “climb” up and down a “staircase” of quiet, pooled water and controlled current — a continuous series of reservoirs that stretches the entire length of the Tennessee River.

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway is located in Northeast Mississippi and West Central Alabama. It serves as an alternate route to the Gulf of Mexico. The waterway stimulates economic development, provides outdoor recreational opportunities, aids navigation, and enhances wildlife habitat.

As part of his “Southern Strategy” for reelection, President Richard Nixon proposed investing $1 million in the Corps of Engineers’ 1971 budget to start construction of the Tenn-Tom waterway. In May 971, the President traveled to Mobile, Alabama to participate with Governor George Wallace and other elected officials from five states to symbolically start construction of the long awaited Tennessee-Tombigbee. The actual start of construction was delayed until 1972 due to a lawsuit filed against the project by a group of environmentalists. The federal courts eventually ruled in favor of the project.
After 12 years of construction at a total cost of nearly $2B, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway was completed in 1984 when the last plug of earth was removed from the waterway channel at Amory, Mississippi, allowing the long awaited mixing of the waters of the Tombigbee with that of the Tennessee River.

Made of steel, they have an outer hull, an internal void that is fitted with heavy struts and cross braces and an internal cargo box. The outer hull of a barge can come in one of two configurations: •rake barge has a curved bow to provide less resistance when being pushed and is usually placed at the head of the tow
•box barge is placed in the center and rear of the tow and can hold more cargo

Barge Terminal - Inland PortBarge Terminal - Inland Port
Fundamental characteristics of an inland port: 1.An intermodal terminal 2.Connectivity to rail, barge or truck services3.Provides array of logistical activities supporting the freight moving through the inland terminal
A barge terminal provides linkage to an inland port with transportation services (rail / truck). The port is integrated with the maritime terminal and supports a more efficient access to the inland market for both inbound / outbound traffic.

CARRIER COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE:
•Demand driven primarily by level of agricultural exports, coal usage, petroleum refining and chemical shipments
•Large carrier companies have advantage in handling broad range of cargo types and economies of scale in purchasing and marketing
•Small carrier companies compete by specializing in particular cargo types or services, subcontracting to larger companies and offering responsive customer service
•Inland barge companies compete with other modal transportation carriers (rail, truck, pipeline) in moving bulk materials and liquids

• Water transportation operates in an environment that has few crossing junctures and in relatively remote locations
• Barge spills occur much less often than tank trucks or tank cars as a result of fewer loadings and un-loadings (or exposures)
• Design features such as double hulls, bolted flanges, automated shutdowns, spill containment devices, etc. have reduced incident severity

River boat pilots guide 448 million tons of cargo on barges along the Mississippi River each year. On the best of days, the job is tricky. The 4th longest river on earth is full of shifting currents, submerged hazards, and constant traffic. In the Spring, rain and snow flow down from the north, the river crests and the job becomes even more treacherous. "On the river, if you screw up, someone can get killed or you can wipe out an entire population," one pilot says.

During flooding, boats must take water into their hulls as ballast so they can sit lower in the river to clear bridges, making them even slower to respond to rudder controls. Ships going upriver cruise more slowly against the current even as they use more power to compensate, leaving less power for emergency maneuvers. "With the river like this, you have to be on top of it,” the pilot says. "One minor little thing that you overlook can cause everything to go wrong."
