ACBL issues upper Mississippi River reopening plan
ACBL issues upper Mississippi River reopening plan
Houston, 24 January (Argus) — Major barge carrier American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL) has issued its tentative reopening plan for the upper Mississippi River, with release dates as soon as 1 February. Depending on operating conditions, ACBL will begin releasing barges at Mobile, Alabama; Houston, Texas; and Lake Charles, Louisiana, on 1 February for barges destined above St Louis, Missouri, but below Dubuque, Iowa. The barges destined between Dubuque and St Paul, Minnesota, will begin travel as soon as on 11 February at the same locations. Release dates are based on ACBL's anticipated lock reopenings by the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Lock 25, upriver of St Louis, Missouri, is scheduled to reopen on 28 February, ACBL said. The main chambers for neighboring locks 27 and Mel Price will still be closed, although the auxiliary locks will be open, according to the Corps. Upper Mississippi Locks 20,18 and 16, between Quincy, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa are expected to reopen 4 March, the Corps said. But these dates remain tentative since freezing conditions may still hamper transit. The Corps typically reopens locks around mid-March depending on ice thickness across multiple locations.

Port of Nola reopens after winter storm
Port of Nola reopens after winter storm
Houston, 24 January (Argus) — The port of New Orleans reopened today after a prolonged shut-down propelled by a heavy winter storm that swept through the US Gulf earlier this week. Nola and Ports America reopened today to begin working on the backlog of movement caused by the storm. The port had been officially closed since 19 January in anticipation of the wintry temperatures, heavy precipitation and winds. Several inches of snow fell across New Orleans beginning Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service, with freezing conditions lasting through Thursday. Both ship and barge loadings and unloadings were significantly delayed across terminals. Several shipping and barge companies announced force majeures before the storm but are expected to reopen within the next couple of days, subject to safety conditions.

S Australia gets OK to use diesel generators for backup
S Australia gets OK to use diesel generators for backup
Adelaide, 24 January (Argus) — Australian federal energy regulator has approved a South Australian (SA) state government bid to temporarily change regulations, ordering two diesel-fired generators in the state to remain available for back-up electricity supply. French utility Engie last year said it would mothball the 63MW Snuggery and 75MW Port Lincoln generators. The SA's Labor energy minister opposed this, and last month wrote to the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) to request the Australian Energy Market Operator (Aemo) be given powers to direct this capacity into the market if supply is threatened. The rule change will be enforced until 31 March, and will help secure SA's electricity supply this summer, the AEMC said on 23 January. SA could face load-shedding during cases of reliability shortfalls, especially during extreme weather, without sufficient backup reserves. No objections were received during the fast-tracked process, the AEMC said. SA is highly dependent on renewable power such as solar and wind, especially after closing its last coal plants in the last decade. Its sole connection to the national electricity market is via links to Victoria state. The 800MW EnergyConnect electricity transmission link to New South Wales is still under construction and has been delayed until July 2027, from an original guidance of 2023. About 72pc of SA's power consumption was from renewable sources last year, with gas contributing 24pc and imports from Victoria making up 10pc, leaving the state vulnerable to outages if this connection is damaged. But backup generators are costly to maintain as cheap renewable energy floods the grid, leaving governments stuck between subsidising fossil-fuelled plants or facing politically and economically damaging interruptions to supply.

Trump tariffs could stall Mexico’s growth: Fitch
Trump tariffs could stall Mexico’s growth: Fitch
Mexico City, 23 January (Argus) — US President Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico could have a serious impact on Mexico's already sluggish economic growth in 2025, Fitch Ratings said. "Our assumption is that Trump will follow through on some tariff threats," said Todd Martinez, senior director of sovereigns at Fitch Ratings, during a webinar. But potential 25pc tariffs would likely apply only to durable goods, which account for about 10pc of Mexico's exports to the US, thanks to protections under the US-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement that are likely to protect oil exports, he added. Fitch forecasts Mexico's economy to grow by just 1.1pc in 2025. But this estimate does not include the potential impact of tariffs, even if limited. Should they be implemented, these tariffs could shave 0.8 percentage points off GDP growth, potentially pushing the economy into near-zero growth or a contraction, Martinez said. The uncertainty surrounding the scope, timing, and duration of the tariffs adds to the economic risks. "These tariffs may also serve as a negotiation tool for broader bilateral issues," noted Shelly Shetty, managing director of sovereigns at Fitch Ratings. Exports to the US represent over 25pc of Mexico's annual GDP growth. Additionally, Mexico is home to the largest undocumented population in the US, at around 4.8mn individuals, according to Fitch. While Trump's return to the White House could disrupt Mexico's economy, domestic challenges also threaten growth. Martinez highlighted the judicial reform passed late last year, which will overhaul the judiciary by introducing popular elections for judges and supreme court justices between 2025 and 2027. This reform has already raised concerns among global investors. Mexico's governance index has worsened between 2012 and 2023, according to the World Bank. Fitch also noted that the ruling party Morena's supermajority in congress could further alarm international investors by introducing policies perceived as unfavorable to business. Fitch currently has Mexico's sovereign credit rating at BBB-, its lower medium investment grade, with a stable outlook.
