-- CWS Marketing Group (CWSAMS), a national auction house that specializes in government and commercial asset sales, has announced an online auction featuring inland tank barges and crude oil seized on behalf of the US Treasury Department. The online auction, being held in partnership with Amentum, is set to take place January 5-8, 2026.
This auction will feature four large inland tank barges as well as a significant quantity of crude oil that was seized by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The marine assets could be of particular interest to buyers in the maritime, energy, and transportation industries looking for proven equipment through the federal auction process.
The barges that are available in the auction include all of the following:
- 1995 296.5 Conrad Inland Tank Barge "AT-2001" located in New Orleans, LA
- 1999 297.5 Trinity Marine Inland Tank Barge "AT-3001" located in New Orleans, LA

- 1995 297.5’ Trinity Marine Inland Tank Barge “AT-4001” located in Rockport, LA
Each of the vessels for sale offers an opportunity to acquire a large-scale marine asset, typically at lower prices than would otherwise be found on the market, through a transparent, government-approved auction.
Alongside the barges, the auction will also feature approximately 77,566 total barrels of crude oil that are currently stored in two tanks located in Ingleside, Texas. This bulk crude oil purchasing opportunity offers qualified buyers the chance to acquire a potentially profitable asset, as well as one that has an extensive range of applications, including in transportation, manufacturing, and more.
It’s recommended that interested parties schedule any inspections ahead of time. These in-person inspections are available from January 5-7, 2026, by appointment only. These appointments can be booked online, allowing prospective bidders the chance to evaluate the assets more closely before deciding whether or not to place any bids.
The bidding will be conducted entirely online, allowing qualified participants to access it from across the nation. They can find more information on the U.S. Treasury Inland Tank Barges & Crude Oil Auction New Orleans, LA &TX webpage, providing auction details, asset descriptions, and more.
