I agree, it needs paint and I mentioned that to them. This barge is
chartered by EXXONMOBIL to carry gasoline and ethanol. They claim they can't
work on it because it is not inerted. Other barges that aren't inerted get
scraped and painted. It is a very well run operation, but look at it.

I work on this barge and I emailed them some photos.

This barge is fairly new and is pinned to the tug. It moves along at over 10
knots.

Look for the Lincoln Sea in the New York and New England area.

Can you explain the word inerted?, something as gas that prevent fire?

For loading and unloading or as a sailor?

Fairly new, it does not look like it without new paint on it..

Yes. An inert gas is put in the tank which removes the oxygen. There is
positive pressure in the tank.

I work with the cargo at the dock. I keep track of everything.

Keep an eye out. There are blind spots and that's a fantastic tool.

WOW was right, thanks.

Seems very responsible work to me.

I passed the age of 65 so I'm a retired teacher mathematics.
I'm now my own, boss;-)
