Why Ship by Barge?

Efficient cargo movement is critical to your business. Consider this: An average barge holds 1,500 tons, 52,500 bushels, or 453,600 gallons. It takes 15 jumbo hopper railroad cars, or 60 large semi trucks, to carry the same load. Barge shipment is therefore a more efficient, more dependable, and less expensive means of transporting volume materials.
