A barge is a flat-bottomed boat, built mainly for river and canal transport of heavy goods. Some barges are not self-propelled and need to be towed or pushed by towboats.

Direct Freight provides barging operations services using a sophisticated equipment. Our equipment has the capability to take cement trucks, lumber trucks full of material, dump trucks fully loaded and just about anything else you can think of. The size of the barge allows for the machinery to be on deck while we dredge and still bring a considerable amount of material to shore for removal.

All loading methods are undertaken based on risk calculated measures using scenario-based situations including suitable sea-fastening design and calculation to withstand wind forces, rolling, pitching, heaving, yawing, swaying and surging effect.
