8 One Barge Tow Carries the Loads of Hundreds of Railcars or over a Thousand Trucks.

9 Barges Are the Most Efficient Mode of Transportation. Barge transportation is the most energy-efficient choice. Barges can move one ton of cargo 576 miles per gallon of fuel – that’s 163 miles further than railcars and 421 miles further than trucks.

10 Barges Are the Cleanest Mode of Transportation. Barge transportation generates fewer emissions than railroads or trucks per ton-mile in the four standards tracked by the EPA: PM HC CO NOx PM HC CO NOx PM HC CO NOx Particulate matter (PM) Hydrocarbons (HC) Carbon monoxide (CO) Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Source: Texas Transportation Institute – 2008 National Waterways Foundation Grams per Ton-miles

11 Barges Are the Safest Mode of Transportation Fatalities ,171 Injuries Rate of Spills in Gallons per Million Ton-miles Spills of More Than 1000 Gallons Barge transportation has significantly fewer fatalities, injuries and spills than railroads or trucks.
