length of the barge, the designation marking shall be centered on the port and starboard sides of the
house. The designation marking shall also be centered on the forward and aft ends of the house. All
markings on houses will be centered vertically at the midheight of the house or as near to midheight as
possible. Sizes of designations shall be as shown on figure 4, Appendix C.
(4) Barges with Short Deckhouses. If the length of the deckhouse is less than 40 percent of the
overall length of the barge, the designation marking shall be as specified in paragraph (5). Barges without
deckhouses, except the stern designation shall be centered on the aft end of the deckhouse.
(5) Barges without Deckhouses. Barges not having deckhouses, deck cargo bins or bulwarks shall

inches (30.48 cm) below the uppermost fender guard or rubbing strake. Sizes of designations shall be as
shown on figure C-4 of Appendix C. Where practical, these same designations will also be centered on
the bow and stern immediately below the deck edge. Where sufficient space is available, bow and stern
Markings will be the same size as those used amidships. If sufficient space is not available, the markings
may be reduced in height to not less than one-half that specified for the amidships marking. Barges
having deck cargo bins or bulwarks shall have the same designation markings, except that they shall be
located at the mid-height of the deck cargo bins or bulwarks at the bow and stern and at amidships, port
and starboard.

barges without deckhouses. In addition, center the designation on both sides on the crane cab. See figure
(7) Modular Causeway System (MCS). All MCS modules shall have the applicable designation
markings scribed on the data plate located on the modules. Additionally, the modules shall have
designations marked in the following areas using 4-inch stencils. The designation markings will be
stenciled in black. The designation will consist of the first initial of the module type and the last four of the
serial number. For example, right rake end would be stenciled as R-0015.
(a) 40' Center module. Stencil the designation on both sides; center these designations vertically 6
inches below the edge of the deck edge. Stencil the designation on the top of each module approximately
2 inches below the J-tube on each end.
(b) Left, Right, and Center End Rakes. Stencil the designation on both sides and the end; center
these designations vertically 6 inches below the edge of the deck edge. Stencil the designation on the top
of each module on the end opposite the rake end, approximately 2 inches below the J-tube. Each 20-foot
rake end must have safety markings painted on the rake end of the module. Safety markings shall
consist of a 4-inch wide yellow stripe running across the modules located 24 inches back from the module
corners. In addition, there shall be four 3-inch wide diagonal yellow stripes per module placed 24 inches
apart and at a 45-degree angle slanting to the right. Stencil "CAUTION" in 4 inches high letters in the
center of the Center rake end module only. See Figure C-6 in Appendix C. The yellow paint must be
moisture-cured polyurethane.
