Key features of our crane barges

Each crane barge we broker comes with clearly specified lifting capacity, crane configuration and deck strength. From compact units with mobile cranes to large grab dredgers with fixed lifting equipment, there is a wide range of technical options. Some vessels feature reinforced deck plating and integrated winches. Others support custom dredging installations, including clamshell or hydraulic grabs.

Applications: where and how crane barges are used

Dredging, marine construction, heavy lifting and offshore work

Crane barges play a vital role in both coastal and inland operations. They are frequently used for port construction, rock placement, and loading works. In offshore applications, they assist with piling, component transfer and salvage. As grab dredgers, they support maintenance dredging in harbors and rivers.

Advantages of choosing a floating crane barge

A floating crane barge offers operational flexibility. It can be positioned where needed, used in confined areas and deployed on short notice. Non-propelled versions are easy to transport and ideal for long-term projects. Self-propelled units reduce dependency on support tugs and allow faster mobilization.

Buying guide: what to consider when purchasing a crane barge

Self-propelled vs. towed units

A self-propelled crane barge offers more autonomy and reduced towing costs. However, it comes with increased fuel consumption and technical complexity. Towed units are easier to maintain and are often more economical for stationary work. Your choice depends on project scope, location, and duration.

Deck equipment, crane types and regulatory requirements

Before purchase, always review the installed deck equipment. Look for details such as crane type (crawler, pedestal or gantry), hook load, winch capacity, and available spuds. Also check if the barge meets local classification and regulatory standards for dredging or offshore work.
