To transport the goods and passengers from Kosti (north) to any part in the south used to be the barge container (vessels) as shows on the picture on the left. It has been the only major transportation between the north and the south for more than fifty years. When they go southward, it took the barge four -to- five weeks to arrive to its destination, partly because they fight against strong current, and partly because they were too old and overloaded. Now, there were even fewer barges or steamer or no kind of vessels at all that could transport goods from north to the south for political, economic or security.
