Lighter Aboard Ship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lighter Aboard Ship (LASH) system refers to the practice of loading barges (lighters) aboard a larger vessel for transport. The host vessel is normally purpose built or modified with a door at the waterline, to allow the payloads to be loaded and unloaded without special lifting equipment. An example would be the LASH Turkiye, built at Avondale Shipyard for the Republic of Turkey.
