Mixed cargoes barge or carrier

A method of transporting mixed cargoes on a mixed cargoes barge or carrier the method comprising:

• loading a load plate or a segmented load plate separately with bulk cargoes, a shipping container, an IMO tank or general cargoes;
• the mixed cargoes barge or carrier allows transport of mixed cargoes:
• bulk cargoes that are loaded onto the load plate or the segmented load plate which is operable to be tilted inwardly to an adjacent conveyor;
• shipping containers or IMO tanks that are loaded and secured on container mounting rails mounted on the load plate, the segmented load plate, on the hull or on the deck of the hull;
• general cargoes located in the hull or on the deck;
• wherein the load plate or a segmented load plate has been used for transporting shipping containers, IMO tanks, bulk cargoes or general cargoes and when a load space is emptied, the load space is then used to transport other shipping containers, IMO tanks, bulk cargoes or general cargoes, so that different types of cargoes and goods can be transported together, thereby substantially maximizing utility of the mixed cargoes barge or carrier.
