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

HBC Barge, Inc. 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.

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. Contact us, and we'll build one your way.
