freight barges
River cargo haulers
Freight barges are large, flat-bottomed vessels designed to transport cargo on rivers, canals, and coastal waterways.
Unlike ships, barges typically lack their own propulsion and are pushed or towed by tugboats.
They carry bulk goods like coal, grain, petroleum, and construction materials: Freight barges moved slowly down the Mississippi.
