Gulf Coast Island Freight
Vehicles, trailers, refrigerated cargo and building materials to islands along the Gulf Coast by short-sea ferry and barge.
Service type: Short-sea ferry and barge
Islands along the Gulf Coast are reached by short-sea vehicle ferries and by barge. Vehicle ferries suit cars, vans and smaller trucks. Barges take heavier loads, building materials and equipment.
Ferries have size and weight limits, so larger loads usually need a barge. Tell us the island and the load, with its dimensions and weight, and we check what fits.
Refrigerated cargo and trailers can be quoted too. Mention the temperature range when you send the request.
