The construction of a 26K BBL oil barge designed by Bristol Harbor Group, Inc. (BHGI) is in progress at Senesco Shipyard in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. The barge is 245′ x 58′ x 18′-6″ and is scheduled to deliver in August.

During our visit in May, the bow, stern and midships were all assembled and waiting to be joined.
