No, suppose not.

Are we talking ship up the Miss’sip or around the East Coast to the Great Lakes?

Remember, Airbus wanted to set up assembly in Mobile, Al for their KC/X proposal. It would make sense that they studied the matter and came to a reasoned conclusion.

Either. There is barge river traffic that could handle aircraft sections easily all the way up to St. Paul, Minnesota, although the river is seasonal traffic up north. Land with river or lake access would probably be cheaper than ocean access. Look at Cleveland with the proximity of the airport, rail, and port access.
