# River container vessel project reports progress - Marine Log

> Naviform's exoskeleton-hulled container-on-vessel designs are advancing for a planned all-water trade lane between the Port of Plaquemines and the Midwest. The plan includes Mississippi liner vessels and smaller hybrid vessels for tributary rivers. American Patriot Container Transport has solicited seven US shipyards to build four vessels and expects shipyard decisions within 30 to 45 days.

## Why it matters

A new container lane on the river could add capacity for non-bulk cargo, but its scale is small and the project has no direct effect on grain or feed prices.
