Commercial Vessels

The "Western Challenge"

This vessel is an 80m, 4500 dead weight tonne ore transfer barge, designed for Western Metals Limited. The vessel is operated by Carpentaria Marine, on behalf of the owners, and has been in service since early 1997 transporting zinc and lead ores from the shallow water port of Derby, to bulk carriers anchored in deep water in the adjacent King Sound.

BucketWheel Dredger

This dredger project involved the design and construction of two 40.75m Bucketwheel dredgers. Dredging components were fabricated in Australia by Neumann Equipment P/L.

The "Riverside Gippsland"

This vessel is a 41.55 x 10.97m dumb barge, converted for use as a floating container storage and transfer platform. The Gippsland can take up to 18 twenty foot containers from the supply vessel, the Riverside Cloud, and transfer these to a landing barge to be taken ashore. This enables quicker delivery time by the supply vessel as it is not waiting for smaller vessels to ferry cargo ashore. The Gippsland is equipped with a 60 tonne crawler crane, for handling containers, and has a genset to enable reefer containers to be kept on board.

The "North Wind"

The North Wind project involved the conversion of a split hopper barge into a fixed hopper barge with an Hitachi EX300 hydraulic excavator used to unload cargo. The North Wind is 52.4m x 10.7m, and carries silica from North Stradbroke Island to Brisbane with a maximum cargo capacity of 1225 tonnes.
