Cargo Barge

A cargo barge is a flat-bottomed, sturdy boat designed to carry large quantities of goods or materials across waterways. Typically used on rivers and canals, it transports bulk products like coal, grain, or containers. Barges are called "barge" because they are often towed or pushed by tugboats, rather than powered on their own. They are an efficient way to move large volumes of cargo at lower cost compared to road or rail transport, especially in areas with extensive waterways. Their simple design and large capacity make them a vital component of freight logistics in many regions.
