How much does a barge weigh?
What's the typical loaded/unloaded weight of a hopper/tank/super tanker barge? What about the average weight of a towboat/fleet boat?

most river hopper barge have a light ship weight of 280 short tons (2000 lbs per short ton) up to 310 short tons. depending on the size.

most river barges are 35 ft wide and have length of 195 ft or 200 ft. the depth of river barges vary, 11 ft up to 14 ft.

the amount of cargo loaded depends on the draft they can load to.

typically we call a 9ft draft to be about 1500 short tons, but this depends on if the barge is 195 ft or 200 ft, and if it is a rake barge or a box barge. box barge hold more cargo at a given draft than a rake barge does.

go to barge info and then look around for the equipment register whish will give you dimensions and a tonnage scale for various drafts of ACBLs fleet of barges.

good luck!

++ after clicking on the 'equipment register' type in barge 'ACBL500' and this will give you the dimensions and deadweight table for this barge.

standard (195x35 or 200x35) hopper barges have a light draft of 1ft 6 to 1ft-10 inches; not 3 ft as mentioned below.
