Lightering (also called lighterage) is the process of transferring cargo between vessels of different sizes, usually between a barge (lighter) and a bulker or oil tanker. Lightering is undertaken to reduce a vessel's draft so it can enter port facilities that cannot accept large fully-loaded ocean-going vessels. Lightering can also refer to the use of a lighter barge for any form of short-distance transport, such as to bring railroad cars across a river. In addition, lightering can refer to the process of removing oil or other hazardous chemicals from a compromised vessel to another vessel to prevent an oil spill.

| - Leichtern (von mittelhochdeutsch līhtern „leichter machen, erleichtern“) heißt, ein beladenes Schiff leichter zu machen, indem man einen Teil der Ladung herausnimmt, mit dem Ziel, den Tiefgang des Schiffes (d. h. seine Abladetiefe) zu verringern. Dies ist dann erforderlich, wenn wegen Niedrigwasser (die Binnenschiffer sagen auch „Kleinwasser“) eine Weiterfahrt mit der ursprünglichen Abladetiefe wegen der Gefahr von Grundberührung nicht mehr möglich ist.
