The barge of the invention is essentially constituted by a floating structure (1) of reinforced and prestressed concrete containing tanks (2) for liquefied gas. Said tanks (2) are cylindrical tanks each having a cross-section perpendicular to its longitudinal axes that comprises a preferably circular curved portion (3) corresponding to the bottom of said tank, said portion being preferably a bottom half-circumference resting directly on the concrete bottom of the barge, which barge bottom is in the form of adjacent part-cylindrical troughs (3), each part-cylindrical trough having the same preferably circular, partially curved section in register with the bottom of each tank.
