# APH Pushes Container On Vessel Service For St. Louis

> Marinelink reports that American Patriot Container Transport is pursuing container-on-vessel service on the Mississippi for the St. Louis region. CEO Sal Litrico presented the concept at late-August St. Louis Regional Freightway forums. He claimed shippers could save 30 to 40 percent without losing frequency or reliability.

## Why it matters

The proposal is still in planning and mainly concerns containerized cargo, so it has little direct effect on feed-grain prices. It could eventually add cheaper all-water options for Midwest shippers.
