For reporting purposes, traffic is tabulated at the docks within the boundary of the port. • The Hickman-Fulton County Riverport in Kentucky extends along the left descending (south) bank of the Mississippi River, adjacent to the Fulton County boundary, from Mile 904.9 to Mile 927.9, including the Elvis J. Stahr Harbor at Hickman, and Island Number 8. It also includes the left descending (mostly south) bank of the loop of the river at Kentucky Point to the west, from Mile 882.3 to Mile 897.0, including Madrid Bar. • The Natchitoches Parish Port in Louisiana extends along the right descending (west) bank of the Red River from Mile 116.5 to Mile 140.9 and Mile 165.6 to Mile 166.1, and along both banks from Mile 115.9 to Mile 116.5 and Mile 140.9 to Mile 165.6. At the lower end, Miles 115.9 to 117.3, the port area covers both sides and all guidewalls of Lock No. 3, Dam No. 3, and the U.S. Coast Guard base north of, and on the opposite side of the guidewall from, the lock. • Waterways are operated by the Corps as multi-purpose, multi-objective projects. They not only serve commercial navigation, but in many cases also provide hydropower, flood protection, municipal water supply, agricultural irrigation, recreation, and regional development. • The 12,000 miles of inland and intracoastal waterways, like highways, operate as a system, and much of the commerce moves on multiple segments. They serve as connecting arteries, much as neighborhood streets help people reach interstate highways. • Visit the NDC website at https://publibrary.planusace.us/^/series/Port%20Facilities and click “Water¬ borne Commerce Statistics Center” and “Master Docks Plus” for more ports and waterways facilities data and information. Trust Fund Facts • The Inland Waterways Trust Fund earned $116.8 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018. This included $115.0 million paid by the inland marine towing industry and interest of $1.8 million. The Trust Fund disbursed $49.3 million for construction projects leaving an available balance of $130.9 million for new construction obligations. • The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund equity increased $221.6 million to $9.3 billion in FY 2018. Total receipts and interest equaled $1,657.7 million in FY 2018. This included taxes from domestic commerce of $79.5 million and taxes collected from imports of $1,244.8 million. All transfers totaled $1,436.2 million; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers received $1,392.9 million, an increase of $282 million from $1,110.9 million in FY 2017. Vessel Facts • The number of double hull tank barges has increased from 4,934 in 2017 to 4,990 in 2018, a 1.1% increase. • Of the 42,177 United States flag passenger and cargo vessels operating or available for operation on December 31, 2018, 79.0% or 33,331 vessels are in the Mississippi River System and Gulf Intracoastal Waterway region. • Of the 9,309 United States flag self-propelled passenger and cargo vessels as of December 31, 2018, 61.3% or 5,711 vessels are greater than 25 years old. • Of the 9,309 United States flag self-propelled passenger and cargo vessels as of December 31, 2018, 17.3% or 1,608 vessels are fewer than 10 years old. • The Waterborne Transportation Lines of the U.S., which includes an inventory of vessel companies and their American flag vessels operating in the transportation of freight and passengers, is available at https://www. iwr.usace.army.mil/About/Technical-Centers/WCSC-Waterborne-Commerce-Statistics-Center/. 10 Mississippi River and Tributaries - Lock Contact Information (Phone Numbers) Allegheny 2 412.661.2217 C.W.

The Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center is undertaking an initiative to move to a geographic-centric method to define the statistical port boundary of all ports in order to comply with the standard of the USACE’s regulation and to enhance the timeliness and transparency of our public reporting. This will provide an opportunity to review and validate the statistical port boundaries for all ports and to adjust these boundaries where appropriate. For the Calendar Year 2018 publications, USACE will use the existing statistical ports definitions. Starting with the Calendar Year 2019 publication, USACE will define statistical ports areas by one of the following: (1) Port limits defined by legislative enactments of state, county, or city governments; or (2) The corporate limits of a municipality. To obtain legislative enactment information, project team members will contact port authorities, collaborate with industry partners, research legislation, and communicate with local, state, and federal stakeholders. When legislation does not exist, the project team will utilize U.S. Census Bureau geographic datasets for municipal definition, unless otherwise provided by a state or local municipality.
