• moving the intermodal trailer chassis carrying the intermodal shipping container from the first stationary barge to a mobile barge adapted to traverse the body of water;
• traversing the body of water with the mobile barge;
• and
• offloading the at least one intermodal trailer chassis carrying the intermodal shipping container to a secondary terrestrial site via a second stationary barge, wherein the second stationary barge is adapted to rise and fall with changes to the water level of the body of water.
