Liquid cargo barge

Liquid cargo barge

Liquid cargo barges are barges that transport petrochemicals, such as styrene, benzene and methanol; liquid fertilizer, including anhydrous ammonia; refined products, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel; black oil products, such as asphalt, No. 6 fuel oil and coker fuel; and pressurized products, such as butane, propane and butadiene, which are transported on the waterways from producers to end users.

In Russia, Volgotanker operates a fleet of liquid cargo barges on the Volga River system. [ [http://www.volgotanker.com/flot/index.html Volgotanker fleet] ]
