Let us introduce to you, two happy new customers

At the start of 2024, we produced and delivered two 5019 barges similar in specifications, but to two different costumers, with different usage. Proving once again, that our barges are a steady solution to whatever challenge may arise. Don’t hesitate to contact us for inquires with specific needs.

Barge CW9 with homeport Glasgow was made for our new customer Coastworks Schotland. Ordered in July 2023 and delivered in January 2024 due to a small delay, we didn’t want to risk the safety of staff neither product so due to the unsafe situation at the Red Sea a small detour was made along the Cape of Good Hope. CW9 will be used for cargo handling, support constructions works on quays, bridges, tunnel building. Often with a 300tons crawler crane on deck. For more information www.coastworks.co.uk

Our quickest delivery yet!

The re-named barge GPS501, formerly known as TAB2306 was sold from stock in March 2024 and delivered at the 9th of April. With homeport London GPS Marine UK will use their barge for working on the Thames, as well as worldwide operations.

Dutch designed and built shallow-draft workboat tailored to local (African) needs, a classic TABmarine story !


Due to TABmarine’s knowledge of the African market and its experience with intercontinental shipbuilding and equipment manufacturing projects, an African client ordered a workboat in 2021. Tailored to the client’s needs, the work barge has been designed to be truly multi-purpose and able to sail in very shallow waters. We were happy to be able to deliver the vessel six weeks ahead of schedule.
The client wanted TABmarine to design and build a self-propelled, ultra-shallow draft work barge to operate at and near the company’s industrial facilities in various roles. And that is exactly what the vessel offers. It is currently being used for maintenance works, transportation (ferry services), supply duties , buoy laying, anchor handling and even waste collection.


       Dutch design, African assets
TABmarine designs and builds a wide range of tugs, workboats, pontoons and industrial barges. In addition, the company delivers tailor-made craft, esp. for multi-purpose use in ports and harbours. These vessels are all designed in close collaboration with clients worldwide and built to proven Dutch quality standards.


Fairleads, buoys and mooring anchors fastly delivered from stock

For the same project we also delivered several lashing parts, e.g. twist locks and base plates; all fast and from stock.


One of TABmarine’s returning customers requested the delivery of 4 pieces of 70-tonnes roller fairleads, 4 mooring anchors (ranging from 2500-3000 kg) and 4 anchor buoy’s. Delivering the fairleads, anchors and buoys from stock allowed the owner to start their project immediately.

2021

In summer 2021 TABmarine booked a great variety of orders for marine equipment. Orders included several types of steel hatches for a Crane Barge refurbishing project, a full container of rubber fenders, manholes, lashing equipment and a series of pneumatic tire net fenders (see photo). Needless to say, all on time and within budget. 

Two newly build multi-purpose barges deliverd ahead of schedule

After the handing over of barge Maja 11 in the first half of January, this month TABmarine handed over 2 new built barges to Osprey Maritime Ltd.; a UK headquartered major player in the field of engineering, logistics and heavy transport. Osprey Maritime Ltd. is operating barges, transport and heavy lifting equipment all over the world and is known as a turn key solution provider. The two sister barges, Osprey Bouwer and Osprey Fabrique, have been specifically designed to fit Osprey’s versatile fleet and are a welcome addition in the scheduled growth. Both Length, height and beam as well as the high deck strength of the barges give a lot of opportunities to operate the barges for all kind of transport and civil works in the most harsh conditions. 


TABmarine received the order for this newbuild’s in March 2020 and ex-yard China delivery was mid-November 2020. The barges were loaded November 17th 2020 and the barges arrived in Rotterdam the 2 nd of January 2021. After some touch up- and installation works the barges have been handed over, within agreed budget, to Osprey Maritime Ltd. more than 2 Months ahead of schedule.

Newly build barge contributes to sustainability


In the first half of January TABmarine handed over a newly built barge to Maja Stevedoring, an Amsterdam based stevedoring company operating all around the world. The barge ‘MAJA 11’ has been specifically designed to fit to Maja’s transshipment barge Enterprise. Both Length, height and beam as well as the shape of the barge makes the operation of Maja Stevedoring smooth and safe. On top of this, spill of cargo into the water surface will be reduced to zero, an environment friendly solution! Materials which in the past fell into the water where useless and a loss as well as recovery costs are high. Cargo which now will end up at the Maja 11 can be taken away by the cranes and will be delivered as valuable cargo. 


TABmarine received the order for this newbuilt in July 2020 and ex-yard China delivery was mid-November. The shipment of the barge on SAL’s Hilke went smooth and after loading on November 18 the Hilke arrived in Rotterdam the 2nd of January 2021 after she sheltered for a storm for 5 days at Vigo. After a small touch up, installation of the winches and adding some small equipment the barge has been handed over, within agreed budget, to Maja Stevedoring 2,5 Month ahead of schedule.
