Ingram Barge, the largest barge operator in the U.S. and based in Nashville, alerted customers it had declared record water levels a “force majeure event,” which invokes an “act of God” provision in their contracts. The declaration means that circumstances beyond their control were preventing normal river transport operations in certain areas.
