To add to the already painful supply chain problems we’ve made ourselves, Mother Nature’s pitching in. Historic lows on the MS River will keep barges from delivering goods.
“As of Friday, the Coast Guard reports that there are 144 vessels and 2,253 barges queued up and waiting to get through two stretches of the river where traffic has been halted – one near Memphis, the other just north of Vicksburg, Mississippi. While the Coast Guard statement said it hopes to resume traffic again as soon as late Friday, it couldn’t say for certain when that would happen.”
