Road haulage and carbon foot print reduction
Inter-port container trucking within and around ports causes additional congestion, delays in delivery and unplanned wear and tear to existing infrastructure.
The Port Feeder Barge is designed to shift inter-port haulage from road to waterway. Due to its own unique container crane the Port Feeder Barge is capable of transferring containers between the terminals independently from the costly imported cranes now in use. Outlying areas can be served without major infrastructure improvements. The PFB requires only 10 feet of water draft.

Intermodal Logistics
At many ports container vessels need to call at several different terminals where their customers have commitments to deliver goods.
The Port Feeder Barge can distribute and collect containers to/from the various terminal quays enabling the vessels to concentrate on the major terminals only. Hence the time consuming, costly and risky operation of vessel shifting within the ports can be significantly reduced.
