From the fifth to the seventh category, the size of individual vessels is unchanged, but it is the same number and vessels are grouped in a different way, to form convoys of barges. The difference between the various classes is given at this point just by the width of the convoys, Composition 1 vessel (V), 2 vessels (VI) or 3 (VII). Subclasses provided (ex Va, Vb) refer instead to the length of the same trains, formed from one or more vessels.
