The core structure of the pontoon barge is a flat-bottomed hull, a design that significantly lowers the vessel's center of gravity and enhances stability in shallow waters. Taking the 36-meter model as an example, it has a maximum length of 36.3 meters, a gross tonnage of 500 tons, and a deckhouse height of 2.9 meters, accommodating a living cabin with six berths to meet the basic living needs of long-term crew members. The hull is equipped with mooring bollards and a crane; the bollards are used to secure the vessel's position, while the crane supports cargo handling, creating an integrated "docking-loading and unloading" function. Furthermore, the flat-bottomed structure makes it less prone to grounding in muddy or soft-bottomed waterways, further expanding its range of applications.
Basic Characteristics:
No propulsion system: The pontoon barge does not have its own propulsion system and therefore cannot navigate independently.
Rectangular flat-bottom design: This design provides good stability in the water, making it suitable for use as a fixed platform.
