Deck Cargo Barges

McDonough Marine Service, a leading company of deck cargo barges, has a large and varied fleet of flat deck barges available for charter. These deck barges are designed to carry cargo on deck and differ in size and structural design, depending on their intended use. Deck cargo barges include pipe, piling, fabricated structures, equipment, rock, palletized material, or even horses, cattle, and rocket boosters. In some instances, certain liquid cargos may be carried in the interior watertight compartments. Deck barges are also used as work platforms for workers and machinery, thereby serving as an extension of the land. Some of these barges may have raised rake decks.
