TABmarine said that the two barges have been specifically designed to fit Osprey’s versatile fleet. They measure 50 m long, with a beam of 18.8 m and a depth of 3 m.
TABmarine added that these features, along with their high deck strength, means they can provide a variety of transport options and execute civil works in the most harsh conditions.
