Efficient Barge Operation

An efficient bunker barge is a profitable bunker barge. Go4 Barges enable efficiency in mooring, connecting to the manifold and the pumping rates, but more importantly, it reduces idle time spent in transit or unnecessary visits to the oil terminal for filling involving mooring cost, harbour duties, terminal cost, etc. 
Instead of returning to the terminal, a Go4 Barge can deliver products to the next customer. With its on-board in-line blending system, Go4 Barges can blend any IFO quality at the time of delivery.
