River Code System
A river code system is used by the barge transportation industry to identify pick-up and delivery locations for barges. A two-letter code identifies rivers, canals, and river segments, and a mile marker identifies the location on the wateway. For example, ACL's corporate headquarters in Jeffersonville, IN is located on the Ohio River, 602.20 miles from the eastern-most start of the river. Thus, the river code for ACL headquarters is OR602.20. Below is a listing of the two-letter codes for all rivers and canals served by ACL.
