Sarens owns a fleet of barges,
especially developed to support project work such as the
installation of bridges, lifting operations from the water and/or
transport activities over inland waterways and seas.
The 'Twin barge' concept is a custom-built fleet consisting of 3
different sized pairs of barges according to the restrictions of
the vast European network of rivers and canals.Once the pair of
barges has passed the locks or other access limiting structures,
they are connected creating one large barge, avoiding the need of
extensive steel structures that are normally needed to connect
different barges. Among the Sarens fleet is
also a large 100 m by 33 m barge. To enable to offer a complete
service package, Sarens owns a large fleet of mooring winches,
auxiliaries and anchors, several ballast systems, links pan bridges
with different lengths and a vast inventory of additional
structures and equipment. All ancillary engineering support as
required for the barge operations can be conducted by our in-house
engineering department.
