I bid occasionally for work on a listing site, I’ve done the odd small boat, am not a specialist boat transporter but have done several smaller jobbies.
Anyway I spot a listing for a barge Notts- Berlin, too big for me, but I click to look anyway, a guy has bid on doing it for £2k, which seemed more than a tad cheap to me, but I’m not sure the chap has read the listing correctly, its 126ft long! & 17.6ft wide! oh & no height listed but water draft is 5ft & the hull looks like this below- so can’t image in its anyway possibly its under 4m?
Surely its water transport only?
That’s not going on a ferry without a ■■■■ load of paperwork and some really fancy loading/unloading procedure …if it fits at all on any type of trailer .
For £2k I might undertake an assessment of doing the job !
What sites is there for bidding on work?

Maybe it’s a typo and he meant 20,000 or even 200,000 
The guy must intend sailing it to Berlin cos as little as I know about heavy haulage, I know enough to know you aren’t going to take it by road for 2K

That was what I thought too.
Unless it’s a very, very optimistic guy with a transit van!
Going by his feedback the only thing that will be moved if the 2k into his bank account 
no doubt on of the pillocks on that trucking wars programme or whatever it is.
I don’t mind it costing me money as I get 5 mins of fame on tv.
But who in their right mind would want to buy a rotten old Humber barge and take it to Germany when there are loads of better ones already for sale over there anyway ?

Shiply, Anyvan, Courier Exchange (which costs you over £600 per year to join and is a reverse bidding site to get jobs to do for ■■■■ all) and others.
