What Does YOS Stand For?
YOS stands for Oil Storage Barge Non Self Propelled Lighter
YOS, or Oil Storage Barge Non Self Propelled Lighter, refers to a type of maritime vessel specifically designed for the transportation and temporary storage of oil. These barges are non-self-propelled, meaning they require tugboats or other vessels for navigation. They serve as a key component in the logistics of oil distribution, providing a versatile solution for loading, unloading, and storing petroleum products in harbors and along waterways. Their design prioritizes safety and efficiency, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations while facilitating the seamless transfer of oil between larger tankers and shore facilities.
