So part of the planning was wondering about a custom built barges for sale to bring your car and knowing where it sold.

A barge is a new convenience especially for people working at sea. They are used to transport cargo from one place to another if one does not prefer through the use of planes. But most of this transportation is with the help of another boat by being towed. But some barges have evolved now and can move independently without that other boat.

Barges have many different types and functions. There are two types of cargo carrying barges. Liquid is for one and the other is the dry bulk. Materials included in the dry bulk are literally dry things like imported goods from one country, shoes and clothing, even steel and those architecture related.

The other cargo type that carries liquid is not just water or soft drinks but included are gases like petroleum, oil and liquid fertilizer some sort. In some areas, they would prefer to separate the two because they do not want it to be mixed in together due to chemical reactions. It is also easier for them when they are segregated that way.

The common ones that everybody knows of carry cars. Not even just cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles and even those vehicles used up in the air. This is usually offered if one wants to go to another island and bring along them their personal ride. Not just for that function, those are used as floating landing stations, especially for the air vehicles. You have probably seen a floating helipad for water facilities.

If you have seen those machines that are usually yellow and do heavy lifting in constructions areas, those are the kind of cranes. Another is called the jack up. Those that kind of looks like spiders above water. They have column like structures in each corner and this is used as a drilling platform.

Now we also have the Hopper barge. These vessels are one few vessels that cannot navigate on its own. They are towed by another ship. They are used to carry boulders, large amounts of sand, soil and grain like those used in land reclamation projects. Projects related to this are those that want additional land in existing land.

If you had the chance to travel and have seen floating houses at sea in the area, those are also another type of barge. These are called Barracks or in English lay man terms, a house boat. Their main purpose is more on residential. Architects nowadays are even considering designing these kinds in relation to the advancement to the future.
