Types of Barges Used for Inland Water Ways Transport

  • A barge is a marine vessel that’s primarily used to carry cargo. 
  • Barges don’t have a motor or engine and don’t move independently. Instead, they move with the help of a towboat or a tugboat. 
  • Barges are crucial for keeping the inland waterways running smoothly and some of the barges include the following:
    • Inland Barges
    • Deck Barges
    • Crane Barges
    • Hopper Barges
