Barge Construction
Built to the Highest Standards
Our barges are engineered and constructed at our state-of-the-art shipyard in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, using indoor construction bays and automated panel lines for consistent quality.
C&C Marine and Repair has extensive experience constructing barges for every application in the inland and coastal marine industry. Our automated panel line, robotic welding systems, and indoor construction bays enable us to deliver barges with exceptional fit-up, weld quality, and structural integrity.
From flat-deck cargo barges to double-hull tank barges transporting hazardous liquids, every barge leaving our facility is built to client specifications. ABS classification and USCG inspection are available upon request for customers who require them.

Types of Barges We Build
C&C Marine constructs a complete range of barges, each designed and built to meet your specific operational requirements and regulatory standards.
Deck Barges
Flat-deck barges are the workhorses of the inland marine industry, used for transporting heavy cargo, construction equipment, and materials along rivers, canals, and coastal waterways. C&C Marine builds deck barges in a wide range of sizes, from small utility barges to large ocean-going deck barges.
