Barge Aboard Catamaran

A Barge Aboard Catamaran (BACAT) vessel is very similar to a LASH vessel. BACAT vessels too transport standardised pushed barges. The big difference however, is the way in which the pushed barges are loaded and unloaded. Whereas the pushed barges are loaded on or unloaded from an LASH vessel by means of a crane, they are loaded on and unloaded from a BACAT vessel whilst floating.
