DP World and Asian Terminals Inc launch new Tanza Barge Terminal in Cavite BMPlus

If you're looking for a collaborative environment, growth, and the opportunity to make an impact, we want you on our team. Bob Higgins has been with the firm since 1996 when he started as an intern following graduation from the School of Engineering at Vanderbilt University with a degree in Civil Engineering. As can be imagined, developments in barge designing come slowly, but there have been a number of them. They range from the simple punt to the very specialized heavy lift ocean going barges. In very general terms, a barge is a sealed vessel of very full form and a simple rectangular shape.

DP World and Asian Terminals Inc. launch new Tanza Barge Terminal in Cavite

Our firm offers a multidisciplinary suite of design services, with emphasis on our depth of experience in engineering, consulting, and architecture. Wherever the built and natural environments intersect with communities, there are challenges and opportunities to be met with design. Every day, we approach our clients' real-world problems with technical solutions. Whether planning for future growth or responsively addressing an immediate need, we apply our skills to make lasting impact.

Growth

Newer barges have now eliminated these appendages and by increasing the side shell plating thickness over the wind and weather areas of side deck and shear strake, have effectively eliminated the need for fendering. Skegs are appendages added within the aft rake to give the barge directional stability. Skegs have traditionally been either canted plates or banana-shaped appendages added to the aft rake to create drag (or parachute) effect. The latest designs now utilize side shell skegs, whereby the side shell plating is extended right to the stern, which has been found to give greatly improved directional stability coupled with reduced drag.

Heavier bottom plating, coupled with intermediate transverse frames, satisfactorily strengthen these areas. This large deck barge capsized when a cargo of lime rock became water logged and subjected the barge to the Naval Architects nemesis of free surface effect. She rolled over onto the offloading dock doing much damage to her main deck and opening up 13 of her 21 compartments. As we saw on the last illustration, the barge is afloat on the air bubbles in her void spaces.

Everything you always wanted to know about barges but were afraid to ask

These combinations provide better control of the barges, both underway and when docking, as well as increased speed and somewhat better comfort for the tug crews. Shown is a typical midship section of a heavy-deck bulk barges’ internal structure. We see the standard side and bottom webs transverses as well as the two longitudinal bulkheads and their webs. Virtually all barges are longitudinally framed due mainly to their long parallel mid body. This direction of framing greatly aids in maximizing the barges longitudinal strength.

Barge Design does not accept unsolicited resumes from recruiters, headhunters, contract recruiters, search firms, or employment agencies. Before any payment obligation for a referral or recruiter fee can be established, a Barge placement agency services agreement must be in place. Any unsolicited resume or candidate contact information, including those sent directly to Barge hiring managers or any other employee, will be deemed the property of Barge upon receipt.

Our employee-owned company is 500+ people strong, and we serve our clients nationwide from multiple U.S. locations. The most convenient means for offloading a bulk barge is via a front-end loader running over the main deck to dig into the cargo. These loaders have grown greatly in size over the years, hence greatly increasing the force on the main deck.

The fore and aft rakes are designed to give a reasonable towing speed and sea-keeping ability within the constraint of maximizing the barges’ carrying capacity. Box walls are vertical structures that are tied into the deck edge of the main deck while allowing maximum cargo deck area while allowing reasonable walkways down each side. Roger Nite continues his nearly 40 year long engineering journey by leading the firm's  projects for building heating, ventilation, conditioning, monitor/controls and water management systems. Responsible for the administration of all projects big or small with an extensive background in specialized facilities, new construction, modernization, renovation, sustainable designs and more. We are committed to providing customized and innovative MEP designs that meet the unique needs of our clients. We understand the importance of reliable and efficient MEP systems applications for numerous building types.

This partnership has resulted in the modernization of the Batangas Port as a fully integrated port gateway and the continued optimization of operations at Manila South Harbor. The latest partnership in Cavite leverages DP World’s experience in building supply chain networks globally and ATI’s local port operations capabilities. Finally, a most interesting development in barge design has been the progress in introduction of the Articulated Tug and Barge, or ATB, combinations into coastal and open water transportation .

Wood sheathing, asphalt, and even concrete have been tried to strengthen the decks of existing barges but all have proven to be only stopgap measures. The length to breadth ratio of four-to-one and a breadth to depth ratio of again four-to-one have been proven, over time, to give a good barge design and is a good place to begin with a new design. The barge berth has two fixed harbor cranes, with the 10-hectare yard complemented by two reach stackers and three internal transfer vehicles. New barge terminal will be operated by ATI-subsidiary Tanza Container Terminal Incorporated and will enable greater connectivity by sea within the Philippines.

Like us, barges come in all shapes and sizes and work at many different purposes.

Her back was broken and her bottom plating ripped to shreds but after all this she did survive to sail again. This unusual photo shows the two vessel halves being towed to Esquimalt Graving Dock for eventual repairs and reattachment. In the face of ongoing road congestion issues, Tanza Barge Terminal offers cargo owners a more efficient and sustainable alternative to trucking. With its container yard, causeway, berth, jetty, breakwater, and deck facilities, the barge terminal is projected to save around 150,000 truck trips yearly. Since 1955, Barge has been carefully, thoughtfully designing solutions for clients across the public and private sector.
