Inland River Barges

Inland river barges comprise the majority of barges operating on the United States waterways. These barges are designed to operate on rivers, canals, sounds, bays, and inland lakes. Inland river barges provide the most economical mode of transportation for many high-density, large-volume, or oversized cargos.

As a leading inland barge company, McDonough Marine is able to offer different barge sizes and configurations which assist in project execution and the transportation of specific materials. Barges are an integral part of the development of the many industries and communities that depend on the waterways.
