Swollen Mississippi, Ohio rivers halt chemical barge (all barge) traffic
28 April 2011 22:23 [Source: ICIS news]

HOUSTON (ICIS)-- High river levels stalled and delayed chemical shipments in the US as spring storms pummeled a wide swath of states and made many barge waterways inoperable, sources said on Thursday.

Major flooding on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers was affecting the midwest and lower eastern states, according to the US Geological Survey.
The swollen waterways have halted barge traffic north of Paducah, Kentucky, said Steve Holcomb, a spokesman for Kirby, the largest US barge operator.

“If you’re in Pittsburgh today and [are] trying to get to the Mississippi river today, you can’t do it,” Holcomb said.
