A boat used to transport cargo on rivers, canals, bays, and ports. Some are used for transport between bases, while others are used to load and unload cargo from ships. For ease of handling cargo, they are characterized by a wide, flat-bottomed hull shape, and come in two types: self-propelled with a propulsion engine, and unpowered types that are towed. Depending on the use, they can be used as general cargo barges, oil barges, coal barges, and so on. For long distances such as inland seas, there are large ones measuring around 100 meters in length, and a special type can be loaded directly onto a barge carrier.
