A barge fleet is a collection of barges that are owned and operated by a single company or organization. Barges are boats that have a flat bottom and are designed to transport cargo along inland waterways, like canals and rivers. Typically, these barges are towed by tugboats or pushed by push boats. They are mainly used for transporting large amounts of bulk commodities such as coal, grain, and petroleum products. In the transportation industry, barge fleets play a crucial role, especially in areas with extensive waterway networks such as Asia, Europe, and the United States. Companies prefer using barges for transportation because it is more cost-effective compared to other modes like rail or trucking. Additionally, barge fleets can carry oversized and heavy cargo that other modes of transportation cannot handle.
