Barges

From flat-deck cargo transport to dredging support and marine construction, The Marine Yard maintains a substantial owned inventory of barges available for sale and immediate deployment.

Overview

At The Marine Yard, barges represent one of our most active inventory categories. As a division of River Salvage Inc., we own and maintain a working fleet of barges across multiple types — deck barges, hopper barges, and spud barges — ready for immediate purchase or deployment on inland waterways and coastal operations.

Unlike brokers, we own the equipment we sell. Our barges have been maintained and operated in active marine service, meaning you get accurate condition reports, real operational history, and a seller who understands exactly what each vessel has been through.

Whether you need a barge for heavy cargo transport, a dredging support platform, a marine construction work deck, or a project-specific asset, we have options across a broad range of sizes, configurations, and capacities. Inventory changes frequently — contact us for current availability.

What We Carry

Barge Types

01

Deck Barges

Open flat-deck barges for heavy cargo transport, equipment staging, and construction support. Available in a wide range of lengths and deck load capacities for inland and coastal use.

02

Hopper Barges

Split-hull and fixed hopper barges for dredging operations, sediment transport, and bulk material handling. Designed for high-volume, high-cycle marine operations.

03

Spud Barges

Spud-equipped work platforms for marine construction, pile driving, dredging, and waterfront development projects. Stable, anchored positioning in rivers, harbours, and coastal sites.

Applications

Common Uses

01

Heavy Cargo Transport

Moving oversized loads, industrial machinery, steel, aggregate, and bulk materials along inland river systems and coastal routes where road transport is impractical.

Serving as material transport vessels alongside dredging operations — receiving, holding, and transporting dredged spoil, sediment, and aggregate to disposal or processing sites.

03

Marine Construction

Providing stable work platforms for bridge construction, dock building, underwater pile driving, and waterfront infrastructure development projects.

04

Equipment Staging

Floating staging areas for crane operations, heavy-lift rigging, and offshore or waterfront equipment assembly where land access is restricted.

Salvage Operations

Supporting marine salvage and recovery work as crane platforms, equipment carriers, and work decks in coordination with River Salvage Inc. operations.
