Our 400-foot by 126-foot deck barge is a versatile and powerful asset.
This barge has proven its value on a wide range of large-scale offshore projects, including work for major oil companies, LNG operations, and potential wind farm support. This barge is engineered for heavy-duty performance, designed to accommodate the most demanding loads and provide a stable platform for various offshore activities.
The barge boasts an impressive maximum deck load capacity of 5,000 pounds per square foot (PSF) when uniformly distributed, making it ideal for transporting heavy equipment, modules, and materials required in offshore construction, decommissioning, or installation projects. Its robust deck design allows it to handle complex operations, including the loading and offloading of large cargo, heavy machinery, and modular components.
Designed with versatility in mind, the barge is equipped with two skid paths, providing flexibility for various operational needs. These skid paths are positioned at 51 feet or 56.5 feet off the centerline, offering adaptability for different equipment configurations. The skid paths can support a maximum bearing load of 1,314 kips, distributed over 30 inches transversely per frame. Additionally, the barge is built to handle a maximum bearing load of 1,758 kips, distributed 30 inches transversely per transverse bulkhead at either 51 feet or 56.5 feet off the centerline. This exceptional load-bearing capacity ensures the barge can support a range of heavy-lift operations, including the transport of large subsea structures, wind turbine components, and drilling equipment.
The barge’s large deck area and high load-bearing specifications make it an optimal choice for offshore wind farm support. It can facilitate the transport and deployment of essential components, from monopiles and transition pieces to turbines and cabling infrastructure. The barge’s design, coupled with its skid path versatility, allows it to accommodate varying equipment sizes and configurations, providing seamless adaptability to project-specific requirements.
With a track record of successful utilization in offshore projects by leading oil majors and LNG operators, our deck barge has demonstrated reliability, durability, and operational efficiency. Its high deck load capacity, strategic design features, and adaptability position it as a valuable asset for supporting offshore operations, whether in oil and gas or the renewable energy sector.
