SUMMARY: The Mississippi is experiencing near-record levels, causing difficulties for ships navigating the waterway. The river has dropped 10 feet since September, with no relief in sight. Crew members from these ships are being shuttled onshore, as the job of ship navigation is becoming harder due to low spots and the risk of grounding. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is using dredging vessels to dangerous spots like sandbars. This has led to draft and load restrictions by the Coast Guard and industry. The impact is felt at the Port of Vicksburg, where they are down to using only one dock, leading to potential financial losses in the millions. Other sister ports in the north are also being affected. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is hopeful for rain in the Ohio Valley to alleviate the situation.
