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
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.

DECK BARGES
McDonough Marine Service has a large and varied fleet of flat deck and material barges available to transport deck cargo depending on their
intended use. Deck cargos may include pipe, piling, fabricated structures, equipment, rock, and palletized material. In some instances, certain
liquid cargos may be carried on board subject to certain U.S. Coast Guard criteria. Deck barges are excellent work platforms for workers and
machinery, thereby serving as an extension of land. Some of these barges may have raised rake decks.

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.

SHALE BARGES
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.

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.

Hopper barges usually have a double-hull construction, wherein the sides and bottom of the cargo hold are separated from the hull by void
spaces. 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.

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.

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.”

MARINE ACCIDENTS
STEPS COMMONLY TAKEN AFTER A MARINE ACCIDENT
Despite the very best efforts to practice safety in all areas of industry, accidents do occur. Should one occur, we offer the following assistance.
QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE ASKED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A VESSEL:
1) Has everything been done to assist any injured personnel?
2) Have steps been taken to minimize loss to the vessel and its cargo?
3) Has action been taken to prevent possible pollution?
4) Has the U. S. Coast Guard been notified and are there other government agencies that should be contacted?
5) Have the vessel owner and operator been properly notified?
6) Have the insurance companies for the vessel and cargo been properly notified?
7) Have the facts of the incident, including the names of people and other vessels involved, been recorded for an accident report to insurance
companies or other agencies?
8) Are there any other actions to be taken to reduce loss and minimize the impact of the accident?
