River conditions

Live USGS gauges, NOAA river-current forecasts for 34,912 river reaches, USACE lock queues and stoppages, and weather radar, all on the map your crew already uses.

AIS & watched vessels

Every BargeIQ tracker on the water listens for AIS and relays what it hears, so you see the tows around your fleet, and you can get a push when a particular boat reaches your zone.

Charts

Inland ENCs from the Corps of Engineers and NOAA ENCs for the coast, rendered the way you are used to seeing them.

Learn more →

Bridge clearance

BargeIQ shows the vertical clearance at every bridge, kept current with live river levels, and warns you when your tow's air draft will not fit.

Rugged trackers that keep reporting.
