Marinette Marine Lighterage System tested for ship-shore cargo transfers
Article Abstract:
The Navy is evaluating a new system of 29 modular barges that can be assembled quickly into floating ferries or causeways to transport vehicles and cargo between ship and shore. This Improved Lighterage System (INLS), built by Manitowoe's Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wisconsin, will provide the Navy and Marine Corps a safer, more versatile method to deliver material from a sealift or prepositioning ship to shore during wartime or such peacetime operations as disaster relief.
