UTILITY BARGE, MULTI-CAT SUPPORT TUG AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT SPREAD.
OCS has completed construction of a small utility barge OCS UB 01 “Miss Pennie” of dimensions 160 ft x 45 ft x 10 ft. The barge is based in Batam, Indonesia and is designed to support shallow water projects of all descriptions. The barge is accompanied by a multicat tug for anchor handling operations and general support. OCS has purchased two long boom Cat 390 excavators for pre-trenching and the barge has in-built mooring winches and spuds required to support pre-trenching, post trenching, small pipelay and other strategic marine operations. The barge spread includes a fully commissioned air diving system, barge and tug management survey systems and a robust work boat.
