Crane Barges

A crane barge, or floating crane, is exactly what it sounds like, a barge with a crane capability. Crane barges allow for heavy equipment to be handled more easily in offshore and other marine construction applications, and can provide much needed support for construction operations like plugging and abandonment, pipeline removal, decommissioning, etc.

A crane barge can range in capacity from 5 tons, to well over 1000 tons. Depending on the capacity, a crane barge may only be able to access certain areas due to size limitations, however some larger, custom built crane barges are capable of performing very heavy crane work in very shallow waters in coastal and inland areas.
