HMSOV 758 : Propelled Deck Cargo Barge for sale – Heave compensated cargo deck and Dynamic Positioning

We can offer for sale, this rarely available, sophisticated Propelled Deck Cargo Barge which is capable of carrying a 2,200 tonne load, maintain a precise position or track, and then keep the cargo deck stable with a sophisticated heave compensation system, allowing heavy lifting operations at sea.

These unique capabilities are enhanced by a hydraulic tension winch mooring system allowing this vessel to tie up to a “dumb” barge at sea, effectively turning another transport barge into a DP controlled barge for lifting operations on site. 

Wide cargo tracks on deck have a massive 190 t/m2 deck strength

• High Precision Position and Heading Keeping Ability :DP1 system enables to keep a stationary position within 7 cm with calibrated and corrected GPS signals.The vessel is also able to follow a pre-defined track route with high accuracy at a desired constant speed in special DP Mode. She is also able to follow another moving vessel in special DP Mode.

• DP Redundancy for High Reliability : Second local positioning reference system brings redundancy to her position keeping ability and thus more reliability. Positioning is achieved by 4 independent deck mounted diesel powered azimuth thrusters each 478 kWatt of power
