LASH ship (LASH stands for Lighter Aboard Ship)

The LASH ships / Barge carriers

• LASH means lighter aboard ship (lighter
  barge).
• LASH barges are loaded at inland river and ocean
  ports.
• The barges are towed to meet the LASH mother
  vessel and lifted aboard.
• When the mother vessel arrives at its port of
  destination the huge crane lowers the LASH barges
  into the water, where they are then towed away by
  tugs to their final destination.
• These operations do not have to be executed
  alongside a berth, since the barges are floating.
• The only requirement is a relatively large area
  of water protected from waves.
• These vessels are particularly suited to
  countries with extensive inland waterways.
