Early Friday (May 24) the level was 33 feet. Corps of Engineers is predicting the Arkansas River in the Fort Smith area will crest Sunday at 41 feet, well above the flood stage of 22 feet and above the area record of 38.1 feet. It’s a different story up the river in Fort Smith and Van Buren. “It’s hard to predict what the river will do,” Day said. Day said barges and warehouses at the port have enough raw materials to keep Welspun working for about six months. Welspun, the Mumbai, India-based pipemaker, has a large operation at the port which at one time employed more than 800 people.

The river also has five ports: Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Fort Smith, Muskogee, Okla., and the Tulsa Port of Catoosa in Oklahoma. The controlled waterway has 18 locks and dams, with 13 in Arkansas and five in Oklahoma. The Arkansas River system (McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, or MKARNS) is 445 miles long and stretches from the confluence of the Mississippi River to the Port of Catoosa near Tulsa, Okla. A total of 10.932 million tons were shipped in all of 2018, down from 11.918 million in 2017 and from 11.542 million tons in 2016. Tonnage on the river totaled 3.897 million tons in the first four months of 2019, just ahead of the 3.88 million tons during the same period in 2018. “It will impact tonnage on the river and it will impact the moving of resources, but it should start moving again if it will ever stop raining.” They have pulled 85 barges into a slackwater harbor and secured them. The port of Little Rock is likely to remain dry, but potentially record flooding means all Arkansas River ports may not see business as usual for many months.īryan Day, executive director of the port of Little Rock, told Talk Business & Politics he is not worried about flooding at the port. Port operations in Van Buren are either underwater or will be by Sunday (May 26).
