► Heavy Lift Barges & DP2 Vessels

Yes. We regularly integrate our heavy offshore crawler cranes (up to 1000T) onto our barges and DP2 vessels. We design and install custom load-spreading grillage and provide full engineering support for safe deck integration. For lighter operations, our C-Spider compact cranes can also be deployed on these vessels for manriding and auxiliary lifting.

All our multipurpose vessels are DP2, so the choice comes down to your project’s priorities:

► Eems Dundee, Duisburg and Dover: our versatile workhorses, with 15 t/m² tanktop strength and crane configurations from 100t up to 300t. Ideal for subsea construction, grab operations and multi-vessel campaigns.
► Jaguar: the same specifications, but with a service speed of 12 knots. The best option for time-critical campaigns or locations further offshore.
► Eems Dublin: our deep-draft heavy hauler, with 6,750 mts cargo capacity and a self-loading Multidocker crane. Best suited for transporting large volumes of project cargo.

Our DP2 vessels are equipped with heavy duty cycle grab cranes (such as the Sennebogen 6220 E or 6300 HD) for rock dumping, stone installation, dredging support, debris clearance, and subsea excavation. The Conquest MB1 crane barge can also support grab operations with its 30-90 mT runner hoist.

Mobilization timelines depend on the vessel and crane configuration required. From our strategic yard in Amsterdam, standard configurations can typically be mobilized within days. Complex integrations with heavy crawler cranes require additional engineering, grillage design, and MWS approval, which can take several weeks.

The Conquest MB1 offers 20 mT/m² deck strength with 3,400 m² of usable deck space, ideal for heavy crawler crane mobilization and equipment staging. Our DP2 Eems-class vessels provide up to 15 t/m² tanktop strength, with two cargo holds: Hold 1 of 80.00 × 12.00 m and Hold 2 of 62.30 × 11.50 m, suitable for heavy modules and project cargo.

We offer both bare vessel charter and fully crewed solutions. Our crew pool includes experienced barge masters, Stage 3 certified crane operators, riggers, mechanics, and deck crew. For projects requiring compact crane operations, we also provide trained C-Spider operators.

Yes. We provide full engineering documentation including structural calculations, lift plans, load-spreading grillage designs, risk assessments, and method statements. Our equipment has a proven track record of MWS acceptance across major offshore campaigns.

Absolutely. Our Conquest MB1 with 1,400 mT crane capacity is proven for monopile and transition piece installation. For ongoing wind farm maintenance and support, our DP2 vessels equipped with crawler cranes or C-Spider compact cranes provide flexible solutions for turbine maintenance, cable work, and scour protection.

Our modular approach gives you flexibility that a fixed crane vessel cannot. Instead of chartering an expensive dedicated crane vessel, we configure our barges and DP2 vessels with the exact crane capacity your project needs, from a 70-ton Sennebogen 673 for auxiliary work to a 1000-ton Liebherr LR 11000 for ultra-heavy lifts. Combined with 24/7 service, offshore-certified crew, and full engineering support, you get a tailored floating crane solution at a competitive rate.
