Container on barge is a form of Intermodal freight transport where containers are stacked on a barge and towed to a destination on the Inland waterway. ==Mississippi River & tributaries COB== There is limited use of this mode of transport because a lack of infrastructure on the upriver side in the United States. With the development of the Louisiana International Gulf Transfer Terminal at the mouth of the Mississippi River, container on barge traffic could become mainstream. ===Lower Mississippi=== The Lower Mississippi from St. Louis to the Port of New Orleans has no locks or dams and allows barges up to 7x6 or 42 barge units per tow. Oceangoing ships with drafts of about 40 feet (depending on the water level) and height clearances over 150 feet can navigate the waters up to Baton Rouge. RoRo ship car carriers could traverse these waters up to Baton Rouge if there was a RoRo ship port to dock at. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Container on barge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
