LASH, an acronym for Lighter Aboard SHip vessels each carry about 82 LASH barges. The barges, all of a standard size with cargo capacity of 385 tons, are towed in ports and on inland waterways to various shipping points where they are loaded with cargo and then returned to the oceangoing vessel. They are hoisted aboard by a special shipboard gantry-type crane and transported overseas where the process is reversed. LASH ships do not require special docks or terminals. LASH cargo rarely requires transshipment, moving from origin to destination with a single bill of lading. A wide variety of commodities and manufactured goods are handled by LASH. These include pipe, vehicles, pallets, bagged cargo, forest products, and bulk. If required, forced air ventilation is available. Heavy lift shippers enjoy considerable savings. Cargo such as machinery and construction equipment can often be stowed in one piece, eliminating costly disassembly, boxing, and reassembly.
