BARGO MAKES THE BARGE GO
There are a lot more barges than tug boats to push them or people to pilot them.
At Bargo, we believe the future of sustainable logistics starts with the waterways that have fueled American industry for generations. Yet today, this vital network faces increasing headwinds—from labor issues and aging fleets to the environmental impact of carbon-heavy freight alternatives. We're here to change that.
Bargo is pioneering a new era of inland waterway transport with our autonomous, modular propulsion technology. By retrofitting existing barges, we transform them into self-navigating vessels that move cargo more safely, sustainably, and efficiently.
Our proprietary propulsion product provides powerful thrust in a compact and hydrodynamic form factor, combined with machine sensing and adaptive intelligence for autonomous operation to deliver precision navigation while drastically cutting emissions and cost per ton-mile.
This innovative solution addresses the transportation industry’s most pressing needs. As geopolitical tensions reshape global supply chains and the risk-based need for U.S.-built maritime industry rises as a result, Bargo is positioned at the intersection of climate action, economic resilience, and maritime modernization. We’re not just improving logistics—we’re redefining it with scalable, eco-friendly technology made in America to return to our country’s roots as a maritime manufacturing powerhouse.
By leveraging federal incentives, recent bipartisan proposals, and private investment, we’re building a resilient and sustainable future for inland shipping that provides economic opportunity to middle America by leveraging our country’s advantageous landscape.
With an experienced leadership team that blends maritime expertise with technological innovation, Bargo is poised to join the autonomous logistics revolution. Push forward with us as we chart a bold new course for inland waterway transport—one that moves industries forward, empowers our country, and safeguards our planet.
Autonomous. Efficient. Made in America.
