MAXTECH Port Feeder Barge Self-Propelled Green Logistics Solution with Integrated Crane Capability
Product Overview
The MAXTECH Port Feeder Barge is a self-propelled container pontoon designed as a sustainable alternative to truck-based container logistics within ports and inland waterways. Equipped with a heavy-duty crane mounted on a high column, this innovative vessel functions as a floating terminal — enabling efficient container transfer between ocean-going vessels, port facilities, and inland waterway destinations.
As a green logistics innovation, the Port Feeder Barge significantly reduces carbon emissions by replacing truck movements with water-based transportation, while simultaneously improving port efficiency by decongesting road networks and providing flexible container handling capabilities.
