Barge Services

C&C Marine specializes in barge residing programs that extend barge life by up to 25 years and new construction series for large-scale fleet growth. Our significant experience and increased efficiencies deliver lower costs and faster turnaround.

Overview

Complete Barge Solutions

C&C Marine and Repair is the Gulf Coast leader in barge residing programs and new construction series. Our Belle Chasse, Louisiana shipyard has the facilities, equipment, and skilled workforce to handle barge programs of any scale.

Our barge residing programs are the most cost-effective way to extend the life of your fleet. By replacing the sides of a barge, we can add up to 25 years of operational life at a fraction of the cost of a new barge. For fleet operators weighing replacement versus rehabilitation, the economics are clear.

For operators looking to grow or replace their fleet, our new construction series program delivers multiple identical barges with production-line efficiency. Our indoor facilities and integrated engineering team enable us to build in series, driving down per-unit costs and accelerating delivery schedules.

C&C has significant experience with both types of programs. Our increased efficiencies — from indoor construction and robotic blasting to integrated engineering and heavy-lift transporters — lend themselves to lower costs that we pass on to our clients. All work is performed by ABS and USCG certified welders.

Barge Residing Programs

Our flagship barge service. C&C replaces the sides of a barge — a process that extends the vessel's operational life by up to 25 years at a fraction of the cost of building a new barge.
