Composition for the transportation of goods by water

The composition consists of a swivel tugs and barges with the tow hitch model FC-38SM, the Japanese company Taisei Engineering Consultants Inc., having distinct advantages over previously used systems: barge + tug; oil tanker (ship). Class of Russian Maritime Register of shipping barges KE R3-RSN Oil tanker tug boat KM R2-RSN AUT 3 2 Ice.
