Heron Ship Repair set 210ft barge, AMS Gladstone, up for a piling contract in December 2018 and completed in January. Containers for an office and a lunch room were installed, and crane sea-fastening for a 400T crane was fabricated and also installed. Pile gates were fixed to the side of the barge and an on-board power system was established.
The 70ft wide AMS Gladstone will be utilised as a crane barge during construction of the America’s Cup facilities for 2021.
