Barges were used as the stolen items in the episode Pirate. They were taken by Sea Rogue from Ten Cents to save Sea Rogue's uncle from the pirate tugs. Other barges which weren't stolen were later used as bait, and were rigged with extra sensitive flares.
Billy Shoepack is often seen towing a barge loaded with dynamite during his appearances.
In Bigg Freeze, a light barge was sought to replace Lillie Lightship while she was out of fuel so Hercules could safely guide S.S. Vienna to the loading and unloading area set-up outside of the port.
Warrior is most frequently seen pulling garbage barges around the port. His favourite garbage barge is Lord Stinker.
In Munitions, Ten Cents bravely shifted the Star Line oil barge out to sea, and away from the port when it caught alight in a serious fire caused by Bluenose.
In Warrior, Big Mac's overloaded stone barge was sunken by Warrior, who traveling at high speeds and creating large waves. However, in a deleted scene, Big Mac seen positioned on top of the barge itself.
In Sunshine, barges with the word "Water" written on their sides are visible behind Ten Cents and Sunshine when the two switchers first meet each other. The same barges were later used to stop logs from escaping with the currents in the episode, Up River.
