mm For two upriver coal customers with different operations: upper left, two 195 x 26x11 barges; right, a 175 x 26 x 11 barge; foreground, 195 x 35x12 hazardous cargo tank barge. We design each barge for your cargo, so it works more efficiently than one designed for everyone's cargo. Regardless of similarities between two cargos, a barge built to handle your particular shipping operation and cargo works more efficiently than a standard design, assembly-line barge built for everyone. For whatever cargo you ship, we'll design and build a barge to your specifications and requirements. Whether you need a general com- modity deck or hopper barge, or a sophisticated tank barge with Sub- chapter "O" cargo requirements, HBC will design a barge with the features and accessories to ship your cargo, your way. And we build them in the size you need, up to 300-feet in length, for single or multiple cargos. Specify: A hopper and coaming to speed unloading and deflect clamshell buckets. Rub bars on each barge side to reduce plate wear and deflect other barges. A hopper liner that speeds vacuum unloading of fine powdery cargo. Any combination, layout or capacity of pumping, piping, power, heating or cover systems. Framing, welding, plating or coatings and linings. | Sand and Gravel Deck Barge framed T Hopper Barge Vertical hopper sides & bulkheads lb" for maximum cargo volume Transverse / framed hopper ^ sides 1 J 1 12" o, 15"/looi Go beyond options and get what you want. Whatever your cargo, we'll design a barge to match the way you ship it. Like nobody else's barge, for nobody else's cargo. Our design and construction flexibil- ity, experienced craftsmanship, and advanced facilities, produce quality barges built for each customer's ship- ping operation, that are competitively priced with barges built for everyone's operation.
