  -> Thank you.
agree  Sergei Tumanov: lighters are better terms in this context //And it is. Баржа и лихтер - синонимы. Лихтер - профессиональный термин, баржа - слово, которым пользуются обычные люди. Другой пример такого же рода: трейлер = фура
3 hrs
  -> Thank you. I thought a lighter was лихтер.
agree  Olga B: Without "after"?
18 hrs
  -> Thank you. Yes, "After" could be omitted.
