Welcome!
Seasnake LLC is a firm that
has developed an innovative, practical and low cost marine transportation
system using an articulated barge train. It is suitable for coastal
voyages, inland river voyages and short sea/open water trades. The
design has been made suitable for low cost production and for low cost
operation by use of strong components and taking advantage of both ship
and ITB benefits.
Features
The Seasnake has many features
which makes it interesting for niche trades:
- Flexibility in size by using a configuration of barges from one to
upwards of 5 or 6 for maximum cargo flexibility.
- Flexibility in barge types: Container carrier, dry bulk, tanker
configuration and break bulk.
- Shallow draft for smaller ports, harbors and rivers.
- Inexpensive to construct because of barge type modules.
- Inexpensive to operate because tractor unit is considered a tug boat
rather than a ship. Great for Jones Act operators!
