2 TODAY

Mr. Bernard P. McDonough created our company in 1945 by leasing barges from his construction company into the marketplace. Through a series of new and used barge additions, Mr. McDonough forged his company, expanding from the Ohio River to the Gulf of Mexico and eventually to the East Coast. His company was modeled around his fundamental philosophy of surrounding good equipment with very talented people. This recipe has yielded more than seven decades of dedicated service to our valued customers’ marine transportation requirements.

While the original 1945 company brochure may not have been intended to eventually grow into a guide for both the marine transportation and construction industries, Mr. McDonough felt confident the brochure would help his people assist an ever-expanding client base. My first day with our company, I was given a copy of the “McDonough Barge Brochure” to study and learn the barge basics. The brochure has been a fundamental guide and resource to many companies, schools, and individuals. I have found the brochure a daily work reference which provided a knowledge base for me to assist our clients. An industry standard, the brochure has been requested by clients from across the United States and foreign countries. With the urging and assistance from clients, friends and McDonough personnel, I am proud to introduce our eighth edition company brochure.

After more than 70 years, McDonough Marine Service continues Mr. McDonough’s legacy as a talented, family owned organization, serving exceptional clients with one of the largest fleets of inland and ocean barges in the United States.

I am proud to introduce our eighth edition brochure highlighting our company as well as a collection of marine terms, port locations, mileage tables, measurements, and barge details. We hope you find the information both informative and applicable to your marine project requirements.

Inland barges comprise the majority of barges operating on the United States waterways. These barges are designed to operate on rivers, canals, sounds, bays, and inland lakes. Inland barges provide the most economical mode of transportation for many high-density, large- volume or oversized cargos. Different barge sizes and configurations assist in project execution and the transportation of specific materials. Barges are an integral part of the development of the many industries and communities that depend on the waterways.

4 POWER SPUD BARGES

Power spud barges are spud barges with permanently affixed winch units installed to raise and lower the spuds. These winch units allow the barge to be moored/spudded down without a crane to set the spuds. This is a very economic application for instances in which there is no onsite crane, efficiency in frequent spudding/moorings, or increased unmooring due to the tides/sea state. The winch units may be friction or hydraulic. Personnel should be properly trained on the operation and maintenance of the units.

McDonough Marine Service offers “shale barges” designated for the transportation of non-hazardous oilfield waste as defined by the U.S. Coast Guard. These barges are open hopper barges or deck cargo barges configured with bins and stabilizing bulkheads within the cargo compartments. The vessels operate at oil well drilling sites to contain and transport any liquids and well cuttings (shale) produced by drilling operations. These materials cannot be discharged overboard due to environmental considerations. Any waste cargo is transported, treated and disposed of at an E.P.A./ U.S.C.G. approved processing facility.

These sketches are typical of both deck and hopper type shale barges. Number and arrangement of SHALE BARGE FLEET bulkheads may differ depending on barge size.

6 LIQUID MUD BARGES

McDonough Marine Service offers U.S Coast Guard designed and approved “Liquid Mud Barges” that specialize in the transportation of non- hazardous oilfield drilling fluids, as well as other non-hazardous fluids. These barges are equipped with two deck-level bin tanks that provide a total of four separate compartments. Containing on-board piping and pumping systems, these barges are capable of both the circulation and discharge of fluids at any remote facility. While inland oil well drilling sites are the primary operational service location for these barges, land based storage facilities also benefit from the storage and transportation aspects they provide.

These barges are designed for efficient transport of bulk commodities, such as grain, coal, sugar, ore, steel, aggregates, timber products, and numerous other cargos. Hopper barges may have a boxed, single-raked, or double-raked hull configuration. The hoppers may be covered or open. Covers provide protection of cargos from outside elements. Covers may be a roll-top (telescoping) or lift-off (stacking) type.

The Barge People www.mcdonoughmarine.com 9 OCEAN DECK CARGO BARGES

Oceangoing barges transport cargo beyond the inland water boundaries of a country. Using ocean barges as an alternative to higher speed ocean freighters can offer many advantages. Unimproved or shallow draft ports often are only accessible by tug and barge. High-volume loads, such as large-diameter pipe, and extremely heavy equipment, such as pre-fabricated oil-production facilities, are especially adapted to ocean barging. The hazards of navigation and the forces of nature require oceangoing barges to be of specialized design and heavy construction. This results in an increase in cost of building, outfitting, maintaining, and towing such vessels. American flag ocean barges are built to the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), the authorized load-lining agency. Each barge is inspected and certified by authority of these agencies, and appropriate documents are issued to be carried on board at all times. The Coast Guard and ABS should be consulted for complete information on their requirements on ocean barges.

OCEANGOING DECK BARGE

10 The use of Ocean deck barges varies in accordance with their size and design characteristics. Cargo loads, navigational routes, loading and unloading facilities and weather factors are major considerations for determining the most suitable barge for the intended use.

MARINE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

McDonough Marine Service provides total project management that includes towing services, repair management, ballast engineers, load-out planning, ramp facilities, and route analysis.

We provide our clients with towing services as owners/operators of inland pushboats, in addition to brokering inland and ocean tugboats supplied by several reputable and skilled operators. For the safe movement of oversized cargos, we operate vessels possessing higher than normal “eye levels” in order to have adequate vision during tow. Our knowledge and experience in moving project cargo enables us to develop the most economical and best suited tow available to meet customers’ requirements.

McDonough Marine Service is committed to performing each project in a safe and environmentally responsible manner for our customers. Our participation in the American Waterways Operators Responsible Carrier Program is just one of the many efforts to meet this goal. At McDonough Marine Service, we strive to exceed your project expectations.

“Our goal is the right boat, the right place, the right price, on schedule, with the highest possible emphasis on safety.”
