3000t Load Unpowered Barge Decks Barges for Sale

  Unpowered barges are cargo ships that have no self-propulsion capability and need to be towed by tugboats or pushboats. Barges and tugboats or pushboats form a barge fleet that can sail in narrow waterways and shallow waterways, and can be organized at any time according to cargo transportation requirements. They are suitable for cargo transportation between inland ports.
Engineering ships that are specially used to transport mud, sand, stone, various components, materials and mechanical equipment.

Characteristics of barges:
1. Large loading capacity
2. Short transportation distance, usually used for cargo transportation on rivers, canals, and river estuaries
3. Barges on long inter-regional routes need to be self-propelled river-sea direct barges
4. Poor wind and wave resistance
5. Slow speed and poor maneuverability.

Types of barges:
1. Barracks Barge/living barge: also called houseboat or living barge, it is common in Cambodia, India, Australia, the Netherlands and other places, mainly used for living on the water;
2. Dry Bulk Cargo Barges/dry bulk cargo barges: mainly used to transport dry bulk cargo, general cargo, large project equipment (deck barge), etc. Dry bulk cargo, as the name suggests, is bulk dry cargo, such as: grain, sand, steel, coal and other minerals. The cargo hold of this barge is sunk into the hull;
3. Barges Carrying Liquid Cargo/barges carrying liquid cargo: this type of barge is completely opposite to dry bulk barges. It mainly transports petrochemicals and fertilizers (mainly liquid) and other necessary important industrial liquid chemicals;
4. Car-float Barges/vehicle floating boats: simply put, it is a ship that transports light railways, cars, and transshipment tools between the two sides. Common in the United States and Europe;
5. Split Hopper Barge/Split Hopper Barge: This unique barge is used to carry excavated mud and sand, and quickly unloads the barge after reaching the designated mud dumping point. This split funnel-shaped barge is widely used in marine engineering construction (mud, sand, dredged materials, etc.). The barge is powered and self-propelled, equipped with hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinder units to separate the hull;
5. Power barge/Power barge: A barge that can provide electrical power;
6. Transfer platform: The barge is equipped with equipment for lifting and transporting cargo, such as cranes, grabs, conveyor belts, etc. It is used for transfer work between the mother ship and the cargo barge.

According to the structural classification:
1. Open-cabin barge, also known as open barge, has hatch barges with several cargo hatches; has only one cargo hold and the top of the cargo hold is completely open;
2. Deck barge, has no cargo hold, cargo is stacked on the deck, and there are cargo coamings around the deck;
3. Half-cabin barge has cargo stacked on the deck and hatch coamings around the deck;
4. Tank barge, has closed containers such as tanks on the deck to transport liquid cargo such as oil and liquefied gas, etc.

According to the functional classification, there are mainly passenger barges and cargo barges:
1. Passenger barges are used to transport passengers and are equipped with living facilities. They are generally used for passenger transport on small rivers. ,
2. Cargo barges are used to transport goods. According to the goods transported, they can be divided into dry cargo barges, ore barges, coal barges, oil barges, deck barges, etc. Cargo barges generally do not have lifting equipment and rely on loading and unloading machinery on the dock to load and unload goods. Cargo barges can also be used for cargo transfer at ports.

According to the performance and purpose of barges, they are generally divided into:
1. Mud (stone) barge: It is equipped with a loading cabin and the bottom is opened for unloading;
2. Stone dumper: It is a deck barge. There are mechanisms and facilities for loading and unloading stones on the deck. According to its different types, it is divided into various types of stone dumpers, such as tilting type, flipping type, bucket type, and vibrating type. The tilting type and flipping type have many defects in actual use due to the use of water tanks to fill the tilting and tipping unloading type, so they have been eliminated. The bucket type and vibrating type are the main types used;
3. Deck barge: There are square barges, semi-submersible self-propelled barges, and conductor frame launching barges. Square barges are widely used, and semi-submersible self-propelled barges and conductor frame launching barges are new ship types that have emerged with the development of marine engineering.
