Barge sizes

(OP)
Barges are used to ship large vessels. Are there any size specification (sq. feet) for barges? Or it is really upto the manufacturer? Where can I read details about the construction of these barges. Who makes them? Can you give me some examples of companies who make them?

RE: Barge sizes

From a brief web search, I found this quote:
"Trinity's Inland Barge Group is the largest manufacturer of barges that transport goods through U.S. inland waterways. Trinity is also the largest U.S. manufacturer of fiberglass hopper barge covers.

Trinity manufactures dry-cargo barges like flat-deck and hopper barges that transport a variety of products including grain, coal and aggregates. The Inland Barge Group also manufactures tank barges that carry petroleum, petroleum products and other liquid cargo.

For more information about the Inland Barge Group please visit their web site:

Note:  that last website is showing "under construction" so it may take a bit more searching to actually get in touch with the right people.
