Greger
Pacific Marine has a variety of
construction barges that are
available on the San Francisco
Bay, as well as along the West
Coast. Located in our facility
in Antioch, California, barges
are stored for our customers. We
have approximately 500 feet of
space along with shore power
water and a secure gated entry.
We can also provide barge
maintenance services while the
barges are being stored in
anticipation of their next
assignment.
GPM has barges that can be
utilized for hauling contractor
equipment, such as piling,
materials and structures. We
also have an inland crane barge
fitted with 80’ by 36” spuds.
This barge easily supports a
large crane. It can also be used
as a conveyor loading platform.
Greger Pacific Marine also
carries an array of sectional
barges, including Flexifloats,
Poseidon and Rendrags. We have
many different sizes and are
always increasing our inventory
to meet your needs.
How Barging Compares with Rail and Truck
This chart summarizes how
barging compares to the rail and truck modes
of transportation in terms of fuel
efficiency, the number of units of
production required to move an equivalent
amount of freight, and the resulting impact
each mode has on the environment.
BARGE
FUEL EFFICIENCY(1)
514 miles
202 miles

BARGE EQUIVALENTS(2)

These are the miles
one ton of cargo can be transported on
one gallon of fuel.
One tow, consisting of
a boat and four barges is 650 feet in
length whereas 480 trucks spaced evenly
with 150 feet between trucks is 20 miles
in length.
Eastman Data Emissions
Comparison: This is the ratio of
emissions for trucks and rail as
compared to a four-barge tow on a
ton-mile basis. So, for example, trucks
emit 74.4 times the Carbon Monoxide of a
four-barge tow on a ton-mile basis.
Barge GREGER-194
The GREGER-194 Barge is 124x34’4”x8’6”. Heavily built with 1” side’s and asphalt
wear deck and a fixed ramp for beach landings to remote location’s located
San Francisco Bay.
The GREGER-570 Crane Barge 140x70x12.6
The 570 is capable of supporting a 400tn Crawler Crane and is exempt from
loadline requirements due to being under 150gt.
