The ITB 38 is a modern and sophisticated oil tank barge having an aggregate capacity of 38,000 Barrels carried in 16 separate tanks.
Designed with a deep notch pushing system, the ITB 38 is normally pushed with average speeds of 10.5 knots. Equipped with a Framo pumping system, the ITB 38 has 16 individual deep well cargo pumps that deliver products into one of four separate discharge systems. The ITB 38 is equipped for closed loading and vapour recovery, with a common vent/overfill system that connects to shore side vapour systems.
In the unlikely event of a tank overfill, the vent system will drain into overfill tanks located separately from the main cargo tanks. Overfill alarms and protection systems are equipped on each cargo tank. Deck machinery, anchors, and a powerful bow thruster may be operated either locally or remotely from the tug.
The ITB 38 normally trades between Vancouver, Portland, Southeast Alaska, Puget Sound and Vancouver Island.
