This working barge is currently in use for 2 months a year, it has not been out of the water for some time (last time ashore unknown) but maintained each year as required (needle gunning, priming, painting, pin spot welds etc.)
An in water condition survey and evaluation of the hull for insurance purposes was carried out in September 2021.
During the survey there was limited access to the hull externally (due to it being in the mud) and limited access to the hull internally (due to poured concrete ballast) but this survey including ultrasonic thickness measurements is available upon request.
