Description

This barge is in fantastic condition and really must be seen to be appreciated. Whether you are looking to use it as it is or convert it into a unique houseboat, there is no need to look any further.
Recently had a new thickness survey, the vessel also benefits from its own onboard generator, recently serviced for peace of mind. It features two bulkheads and, as an ex-Admiralty barge, has never carried cargo, helping preserve its excellent condition throughout the years.

The barge has been unused internally and is in very good condition, having previously been used as a target-practice command post only. She is fitted with a fully operational generator.

Marine construction and civil engineering support
Transport and storage of plant, equipment and materials
Dredging and waterway support operations
Floating work platform
Marine maintenance and fabrication
River, estuary and environmental projects
Temporary storage or project accommodation
Survey and specialist marine operations
Conversion to a workshop, office or other commercial facility

Her shallow draft makes her particularly interesting for operations in shallow rivers, creeks, estuaries and sheltered coastal waters, where larger or deeper-draught vessels may be unsuitable.

The vessel represents a blank canvas for a buyer looking for a large, versatile floating platform, with considerable scope for fitting out to suit a particular commercial operation or project.
