Maritime TV interviewed the Administrator in-depth on the strategic plans for America’s waterways after he rode (and navigated) the vessel along the Ohio River in Paducah, Ky. He emphasized the importance of the marine highways concept and how waterborne transportation is the most environmentally-friendly, the most efficient and the safest way to move cargo to support the American economy.
