A chance meeting between the President and CEO of Bergan Marine Systems, Kyle Durden, and co-owners of Bargetender, Trey and Taylor Busch, at the 2025 Inland Marine Expo (IMX) has led to a groundbreaking partnership that aims to revolutionize automated barge draft technology. What started as a casual conversation between neighboring exhibitors has evolved into a strategic collaboration focused on enhancing the efficiency and safety of barge operations.
This partnership is expected to leverage Bergan's expertise in marine systems and Bargetender's innovative approach to barge management. Together, they plan to develop advanced solutions that will streamline processes, reduce operational costs, and improve overall performance in the maritime industry.
As the demand for more efficient and reliable barge operations grows, this collaboration could set new standards in the field.
