The invention relates to a method and apparatus for transferring cargo such as logs, sand, passengers etc. between a cargo transport vessel and an onshore loading location 62. A floating barge 12 is provided in an initial in-line docking configuration. A cargo transfer bridge 10 having a cargo-way is provided between the floating barge and the onshore loading location to allow the transfer of cargo there over. A wheeled barge actuator mechanism 32 is attached to the barge end of the cargo transfer bridge, to provide actuation of the floating barge in order to manoeuvre the floating barge from its initial in-line docking configuration to a T-shaped berthing configuration in which the cargo transport vessel may berth against the berthing area of the floating barge. |
