TeachMeFinance.com - explain Lighter Aboard Ship Lighter Aboard Ship -- Some ships are constructed to carry special barges (lighters). These barges can go to smaller docks, go into inland waterways, load cargo at those places, and then carry it back to the ship which lifts the barges aboard, with their cargo, and transports them overseas. Discharge of cargo is accomplished in the same manner. About the author Mark McCracken Author: Mark McCracken is a corporate trainer and author living in Higashi Osaka, Japan.
