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
59 miles
BARGE EQUIVALENTS(2)
1 barge
35 cars
120 trucks
TOW EQUIVALENTS(3)
1 Tow
140 cars
480 trucks
EMISSIONS RATIOS(4)
Hydrocarbons plus Nitrogen Oxides

Particulate Matter

12.0
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
