Barge Shipment Tracker

Loose by design — river stages, lock congestion and tow reconfigurations move transits by days, and operators update ETAs accordingly. Plan downstream operations against a window, not a date, and treat the 'At lock / fleeting' status as the early-warning stage: a tow waiting at a queue is tomorrow's late arrival announcing itself today.

The cost-bearing and decision-bearing ones — for this mode, watch at lock / fleeting (where dwell starts costing) and the transition into completed (where the record closes). Rows that stall between those two stages are the ones worth a phone call today rather than a report next month.

From the notifications your providers already send — booking confirmations, departure notices, arrival/availability alerts, PODs. This board is the consolidation layer you control: thirty seconds per update keeps one view current across every provider, which no single carrier's portal can give you.

No — records persist in your browser's localStorage and never touch a server, which makes the board safe for commercially sensitive routings, volumes and customer names. The CSV export exists for the moments you DO want to share: a snapshot to a colleague, a dataset to your analyst, a status report to a client.
