This Double-wide, Double-Long barge has 24 Large Cargo Containers, it is modular, in which you can disconnect and projector in more barge pieces. It weights around 32 Kt fully laden and 8Kt with nothing loaded. Do not use this with Compressed Ores as it will sink with a maxed inventory of compressed ore.

The Tug is Ice Hydrogen Engine powered. Water Worlds are usually near ice caps so this is possible. It has two large atmospheric thrusters forward and 3 other large thrusters for lateral movement and slowing down. Each fully laden barge piece loses the Tug part of the ship around 20 Knots, in which the main Tug goes around 100 Knots without any barges. The maximum speed fully loaded is around 50 knots after several minutes of time to get up to speed.

The Barge pieces are pretty expensive in terms of iron, but if you have a ton of iron they can be mass produced and left at (Resource Nodes) mines to fill up over time so you can come by with a Tug and pick them up. The barge pieces themselves do not have any engines or gyros, only some batteries.

Fully laden, it takes 1 minute to get to 16 knots, 3 minutes for 31 knots, 6 minutes to reach 36.2 Knots (About how fast as the fastest real cargo ship) The approximate speed after 30 minutes is around 40 Knots, but the acceleration is pretty slow, as would be expected fully laden with ores or whatnot. (Note that the Dual Barge goes up to 60 knots max, not just 40 Knots)

The Tug has to be upgraded or doubled up if you want to go larger.
