Dutch Barge Project – 30m x 2.8m – Offers Invited
Steel Dutch barge, imported from Holland approx. 8 years ago. Originally a cargo barge with a roof added — likely a Spits or Motorklipper type (still being confirmed). Currently out of the water at Cuxton, Kent, and ready for a new owner to complete the project.

Hull exterior painted in 2-part primer (some flaking, will need attention)
Interior hull coated in zinc primer with a trowel-applied coat of Black Jack bituminous coating
Roof and deck in good condition
Interior
Main salon stripped back to a clean shell with 22mm marine ply flooring laid
Wheelhouse rebuilt (a few panels still need replacing)
Windows replaced with safety glass throughout, except two at the front
Engine & Systems
Marinised Peugeot Indenor diesel inboard, sealed water-cooled with radiator/keel cooling
Engine starts and runs, propeller turns in gear
Single diesel fuel tank
240V sockets wired in the wheelhouse; ring main for the salon in place, not yet connected
No plumbing currently fitted
Original water bladder tank retained (recommend replacement)
Known issues
Unidentified rainwater leak into the engine area

A genuine project for someone wanting a Dutch barge conversion at a fraction of new-build cost. Offers invited — sold as seen. Viewing by arrangement in Cuxton, Kent.
