This is one of the four barges that we (US Forest Service) use on the Tongass National Forest. It is completely self-contained with generators, water treatment, sewage, laundry, and it can sleep 12 people. This allows my co-workers to work and stay remotely instead commuting which is expensive and cna be dangerous on the rare good days.

I am currently upgrading the solar power on it hence the angle of the pic. I will get a better one tomorrow. We have another barge that is going go into the ship yard in the next couple of weeks for the steelwork and installing a generator for a similar solar power system. The other two barges will get done too eventually.
