Note:
The “Added Load” box lets you enter any additional weight placed on the barge (such as equipment, cargo, fuel, or engines).
Enter the amount in pounds (lbs).

​

If you leave this value at 0, the calculator will show the barge’s empty weight and draft — meaning how it floats with only its steel structure.

 

⚠️ When entering a new value, delete the existing zero first and type your number (for example, 5000).
Do not type in front of the zero or add extra digits after it.

​

• Includes deck, bottom, port, starboard, bow, stern — all six sides.

• Adds 10% steel allowance for welds, overlaps, stiffeners.

• Internal frames are included per your selected spacing and shape.

• No bulkheads added automatically — you can calculate those separately
