Heavy Cargo Barge Carrier from Japan
> A heavy cargo barge carrier is a ship designed to transport heavy barges or pontoons across oceans, with accommodations for the crew. It is used for the transport of goods (the barges) and persons, and does not have the essential character of a vessel of a particular kind, so it is classified as an open vessel under this tariff item.
