US Barge Transportation Market Trends, Size, Share by 2030
分析师观点:
美国驳船运输市场报告包括根据当前美国驳船运输市场趋势的增长前景以及影响市场增长的驱动因素。市场生态系统的主要利益相关者包括托运人、货运代理、码头运营商、驳船运营商和最终用户。这些利益相关者共同努力,沿着整个端到端供应链从始发地到目的地运输货物和处理设备。托运人是一家负责组织货物并将其从一个地点运输到另一个地点的公司。货运代理充当运输公司和货物最终市场之间的中间人。港口或码头运营商以合同规定的最低生产力水平通过港口运输货物。驳船运营商在内河和运河等内陆水道或沿海航线上运营货运船只。美国驳船运输市场的最终用户可能因企业、国内市场和执行出口的港口而异。驳船运输的优势包括效率、安全和货物安全,这有利于美国市场。干货量的增加以及水路物流和运输基础设施的改善进一步促进了美国驳船运输市场的增长。
市场概述:
驳船是一种长的平底船专门设计用于通过水路运输货物或运输乘客。它没有自航机构,必须由拖船或拖船牵引。与重型货运相关的挑战,例如没有自推进机构,为驳船铺平了道路,因为驳船成本较低,且更方便承载重物。标准驳船长 195 英尺,宽 35 英尺,容量为 1,500 吨。开顶驳船和有盖驳船用于运输煤炭、粮食、石油、化学品、可回收材料、沙子、砾石、木材、铁矿石和其他矿物。在美国,驳船越来越受欢迎,从该国水道上运营的约 30,000 艘驳船就可以看出这一点。美国内陆水道系统包括 12,000 英里的商业航道。内陆海上高速公路以低成本在 38 个州之间运输商品,为环境保护和限制交通拥堵做出了重大贡献。
由于美国的多式联运网络,预计美国驳船运输市场将大幅增长政府积极鼓励水运,并持续投资升级水路基础设施。 2021 年 12 月,美国交通部海事管理局 (MARAD) 向美国海洋高速公路计划 (AMHP) 下的 9 个海洋高速公路项目提供了 1260 万美元的赠款。 “这笔资金”旨在解决供应链中断问题,并增强“特拉华州、夏威夷州、印第安纳州、肯塔基州、路易斯安那州、北卡罗来纳州、纽约州、新泽西州、田纳西州、“德克萨斯州”和“弗吉尼亚州”。 “AMHP”和政府的港口行动计划正在努力实现港口运营现代化并启动新的内陆水道建设项目。 《两党基础设施法》还额外提供了 2500 万美元,用于支持美国的海上公路和水道项目。该国还积极参与联邦对港口的投资,为港口基础设施发展分配大量预算。因此,不断增长的港口基础设施发展正在促进美国驳船运输市场规模的增长。
市场驱动因素:
对成本的需求不断增加有效的运输推动美国驳船运输市场
通过驳船进行货物运输有助于保护商品免受恶劣和不可预测的天气条件的影响。由于其成本效益,驳船主要用于运输干货,例如农产品。海上航线适合大批量运输,且成本低于其他运输方式。美国的交通和运输组织正在采用数字技术来提高吞吐量、提高安全性并提供更好的客户体验。交通当局正在建立公私合作伙伴关系,以推动多式联运。 2023 年 8 月,摩根士丹利基础设施合作伙伴 (MSIP) 和 Crowley(海事、能源和物流解决方案领导者)宣布委托成立一家新合资企业,以推进美国海上风港和驳船解决方案。 MSIP 作为摩根士丹利投资管理公司 (MSIM) 的一部分运作。这些举措表明投资者认识到驳船运输作为一种具有成本效益的运输方式的潜力。
与其他运输方式相比,驳船运输的成本较低。 2021年,美国货运系统日均货运量达到5360万吨,价值约540亿美元。从密西西比河收获的商品的运输成本接近每吨 23.34 美元。据阿肯色州水道委员会称,在美国,驳船每吨英里的成本约为每吨每英里 0.97 美元,而铁路每吨每英里成本为 2.53 美元,卡车运输每吨每英里成本为 5.35 美元。 。因此,驳船的低成本和高承载能力推动了美国驳船运输市场的增长。

细分分析:
根据类型,市场分为液体货物、气体货物和干货。到2022年,干货细分市场将占据美国驳船运输的主要市场份额,并且预计在预测期内将创下最快的复合年增长率。美国干货驳船运输市场的增长归因于粮食、钢铁、水泥、化肥和煤炭等大宗商品运输活动的增加。干货占美国货运的大部分。该国拥有一些在国内内河驳船干货行业中具有重要地位的知名企业;这些企业拥有并经营着相当大的干驳船队。敞口驳船通常用于运输大宗商品、重型设备、建筑材料和超大货物等物品。开放式驳船的设计可以轻松装卸货物,使其适用于各种类型的运输。它们通常由拖船拖曳或由拖船沿着河流、运河和其他内陆水道推动。开放式驳船有不同的尺寸和配置,以适应不同类型的货物和运输需求。它们非常适合运输煤炭、骨料、谷物、矿石和其他原材料等大宗商品。开放式设计可实现大量松散物料的高效装卸。它们提供了一种经济高效且环保的方式来运输大量货物,特别是在水路基础设施发达的地区。
其他部分包括砾石、废料、制造设备和加工材料。美国政府对航道开发的投资使内陆社区能够在全球市场上竞争,提高定价,降低投入成本,并获得更有利可图的营销选择。来自挖泥船的材料被放置到位于挖泥船附近的驳船上。然后,货物被运输到预定地点,并使用电缆或液压驱动门从驳船底部释放,从而将货物从驳船上卸下。驳船也用于运输混凝土骨料。平均而言,一艘驳船可运输约 6,200 吨混凝土骨料,相当于 390 辆卡车。
