Barges
Barges are extensively used in Marine transport and also support Offshore and Harbour
constructions. We deal in variety of Barges (with options of Self-propelled /towed)
like Flat Deck Barges, Tank Barges, and Hopper Barges etc.
Barges are the workhorses of the towing industry. They perform myriads of chores from cargo transport, pipelay, heavy-lift, water-desalinization, and power generation to offshore floating production and storage. Barges haul millions of tons of cargoes or otherwise work offshore and through the river systems and harbors of every continent in the world.
Flat Deck Barges, are usually flat bottom and rectangular in structure, carry cargoes on deck.
Tank Barges are used to carry any liquid cargoes in below deck tanks. The
cargo holds can be single hull or double hull. Tank barges can be towed astern on
a wire, pushed ahead in multiple units on inland rivers or individually by integrated
or articulated tugs at sea.
Hopper Barges are dry cargo barges with cargo holds below deck used to transport
bulk commodities. Hopper barges are generally of double-hull construction with the
sides and bottom of the cargo hold(s) separated from the hull by void spaces.
