<p>Flexible fabric barges (10) are connected together in a string for towing. The barges are interconnected by fabric sleeves (20) which have zipper connections (22). A fabric towing cone (24) is zipper-connected to the lead barge. Each barge includes an elongated opening (44) that allows cargo to be efficiently discharged from the barge. The elongated opening can be a circumferentially elongated opening (44) that divides the barge into front (40) and rear (42) sections or the elongated opening can be a longitudinal opening which divides the barge into right and left sections.</p> |
