JULY 2022 TABmarine Barge 2008 DELIVERED 6 WEEKS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
Dutch designed and built shallow-draft workboat tailored to local African needs
Due to TABmarine’s knowledge of the African market and its experience with intercontinental shipbuilding and equipment manufacturing projects, an African client ordered a workboat in 2021. Tailored to the client’s needs, the work barge has been designed to be truly multi-purpose and able to sail in very shallow waters. Note that TABmarine delivered the vessel six weeks ahead of schedule.
The client wanted TABmarine to design and build a self-propelled, ultra-shallow draft work barge to operate at and near the company’s industrial facilities in various roles. And that is exactly what the vessel offers. It is currently being used for maintenance works, transportation (ferry services), supply duties , buoy laying, anchor handling and even waste collection.
Dutch design, African assets
TABmarine designs and builds a wide range of tugs, workboats, pontoons and industrial barges. In addition, the company delivers tailor-made craft, esp. for multi-purpose use in ports and harbours. These vessels are all designed in close collaboration with clients worldwide and built to proven Dutch quality standards.
