The Barging module is a set of features that configures the Veson IMOS Platform (IMOS) to support the workflows particular to the barging business. Since barging involves many short, quick voyages with multiple boats or barges, this is a much different approach to moving cargo than the typical single vessel voyage workflow.

The Barging module adds support for:

• Boats: Boats are represented as vessels with Type Code Boat.
• Barges: Barges are represented as vessels with Type Code Barge.
• Tows: A Tow is a combination of one boat and one or more barges that are working as a unit. A tow goes on a voyage, not an individual boat or barge. Tows are represented as vessels with Type Code Tow.
• Equipment Contracts: Equipment Contracts support boats and barges. There are two types: Equipment TC contracts and Equipment Spot contracts. Separate pricing for boats and barges is supported.
