Introducing: a cost efficient transshipment solution
Two ambitious and innovative companies experienced in their own field of expertise: Conoship International (ship design & engineering) and KenzFigee (cranes & offshore equipment design and manufacturing) have teamed up to offer a cost efficient transshipment crane barge combination to meet the specific needs of the dry bulk & break bulk transshipment market.
The Conoship designed transshipment barge provides a safe & efficient vessel for worldwide operation in harbors, inland and coastal waters. The tailor-made design ensures 360⁰ visibility from the office/control room amidships in accordance with ILO-MLC 2006 regulations. The design guarantees easy access for maintenance of all equipment and structural items whilst providing maximum comfort in modern, durable living quarters and work spaces.
The Conoship barge can be equipped with a choice of two different KenzFigee high capacity heavy duty cranes, specially designed for floating applications: the robust and very popular Lemniscate crane or the recently more cost effective designed BulkbusterTM derrick crane. Both cranes are designed for low maintenance because of its long components lifespan, and of which the Lemniscate crane is particularly suitable for high volumes transshipment capacity.
The combination of a safe and efficient barge for worldwide operation in harbors, inland and coastal waters and robust and reliable Lemniscate or BulkbusterTM crane offer high capacity loading and offloading of ships, whilst maintaining stability and buoyancy of the vessel up to 2.0 meters SWH in coastal conditions.
