McDonough Marine Service recently announced the acquisition of the MARMAC 3080, a new deck barge measuring 300 feet by 80 feet by 16 feet, certified by ABS Load Line. This vessel is now part of their growing fleet and is available for charter services, primarily operating out of Amelia, Louisiana.
This fleet expansion by McDonough Marine Service directly impacts freight forwarders and project cargo shippers, especially those involved in the energy, construction, and infrastructure sectors in the U.S. Gulf Coast. The availability of additional heavy-lift and oversized cargo capacity means more options for transporting large modules, equipment, and components for industrial projects. This could lead to improved scheduling flexibility and potentially more competitive rates for project cargo movements requiring specialized marine transport.
