Featured Sponsor – AEP River Operations

AEP River Operations provides barge transportation of dry bulk commodities throughout the inland waterways.  In 2011,  the company moved almost 80 million tons of dry bulk material.  AEP River Operations is the second-largest inland river barge company in the U.S. in terms of barge units.

A more fuel-efficient transportation solution than rail or truck, AEP River Operations’ modern fleet includes boats with advanced electronic engines that reduce fuel consumption and cut emissions.  In addition to our emphasis on environmental sustainability, a steadfast commitment to safety permeates everything we do.  AEP River Operations is an industry leader in safety training and environmental protection.

On June 21, 2012 the M/V Buckeye State will be available for touring at the Paddlefest Kids Outdoor Adventure Expo.  The vessel’s Captain and Crew will also be on-hand to assist and answer any questions you may have about the vessel and life on the river.

Welcome aboard!
