Due to their large cargo capacity, barges are one of the most cost-effective and fuel-efficient means of transporting bulk goods, particularly over long distances. The U.S. inland waterways, including the Mississippi River and its tributaries, are crucial routes for these goods, helping to keep transportation costs low and supporting industries that rely on bulk materials.
