Waterways Journal Inc. We pride ourselves on providing the maritime industry with high-quality publications and a range of related products and services. With a dedicated focus on inland waterways, we serve an audience of industry professionals operating 25,000 barges and over 3,800 towboats, dredges, and material handlers.

As the renowned Riverman's Bible, The Waterways Journal is the only American maritime publication that exclusively covers the inland waterways. We are one of the few remaining family-owned trade weeklies of any kind, firmly supported by our valued advertisers. Our comprehensive coverage includes a wide array of news articles that delve into the people and cutting-edge technology driving this bustling sector of industrial transport in the United States.

We report on topics such as inland shipyards, lock and dam construction, the Corps of Engineers, dredging news, inland ports and terminals, barge and towboat construction, towboat technology advancements, and the regulations laid down by federal agencies like the U. S. Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Additionally, we keep our readers informed about current news on major commodities transported via waterways, including grain, coal, petroleum products, steel, and fertilizer. Furthermore, we are actively involved in the industry and closely monitor the actions of organizations that advocate for waterways interests, such as Waterways Council Inc., The American Waterways Operators, and the National Waterways Conference, among others. Our editorials shed light on government regulations that impact the rivers and those who rely on them for transportation.

In addition to our informative publications, we offer authoritative reference works that are invaluable to the river industry. Our publications include the Inland River Record, which provides an updated annual listing of inland commercial vessels, and the Inland River Guide, an annual directory of businesses and organizations involved in waterways-related activities. These comprehensive resources cover a diverse range of companies, including barge and towing companies, harbor fleets, terminals, shipyards, repair facilities, fueling companies, contractors, dredging companies, marine brokers, surveyors, insurers, diving and salvage companies, as well as manufacturers and distributors serving the inland waterways.
