Mississippi low water, barge quotes and grain flow, July–October 2026
Exposed · Operational, local · deduced · Low water, 2026-09-09
“Kirby’s industry leading fleet of inland tank barges transport bulk liquid cargoes, including petrochemicals, black oil, refined products, and agricultural chemicals for customers on the Mississippi River, its tributaries, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.” — source, 2026-10-23
The largest inland tank-barge operator runs the same Mississippi reaches as the grain fleet; sub-zero stage at St. Louis imposes draft and tow-size limits on liquid tows too, raising cost per ton. It does not earn the grain freight quote, so the link runs through river stage only.
