OpenTug on Modernizing the Barge Industry

The global barge industry, a roughly $140 billion market, is critical for moving bulk commodities that fuel economic growth. Freight includes petroleum and related products, coal and agricultural goods. In this Talking Transports podcast, Jason Aristides, OpenTug’s CEO and co-founder, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share how the company is bringing visibility and predictability to the fragmented industry through its AI-fueled platform. This should help both shippers and asset owners make more informed decisions, drive productivity and improve returns. Aristides also talks opportunities for modal share growth, his entrepreneurial journey, infrastructure investments and how he gravitated to the industry.
