DBA is an association for everybody who is interested in ex-cargo barges and other broad-beam inland vessels primarily used for living afloat and pleasure cruising. It is a not-for-profitmaking company. The information and services offered are primarily intended for the benefit of our members and to increase the general awareness of barges and barging.
DBA relies entirely on the good will and voluntary contribution of its directors and members. We have real jobs as well as work to do on our own barges, which will explain any delay in responding to your enquiry.
