What is Barge Capacity?

Barge capacity refers to the maximum amount of weight or volume that a barge can carry. This can include various types of cargo such as commodities, containers, or equipment. The capacity of a barge is determined by its size, design, and construction. It is an important factor in maritime transportation as it affects the efficiency and cost of shipping goods.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ BC = 50 \cdot 10 \cdot 5 \cdot 0.8 = 2000 \text{ tons} \]

The barge capacity is 2000 tons.
