Split Hopper Barge WH762

Split Hopper Barge WH762 – Heron Construction

This 59 metre non-propelled split hopper barge came to Whangarei Harbour experts Ship Repair recently. The 750m3 vessel has a large open hold and is used to transport dredged material. We carried out general fabrication and welding repairs over the main decks.

Following this was replacement of four sets of large mooring bollards.

Boarding steps then needed to be fabricated and installed on the port and starboard.

Following this we carried out removal of the small machinery house and a tidy up and paint job.

There was also a full strip of the underwater paint and a full paint system over the complete barge.

Deep Water Port

Located in the calm, sheltered waters of Whangarei Harbour – we are one of only four deep water ports in New Zealand. We have a large slipway for vessels up to 1800 tonne which often handles two ships at once, as well as a second 40 tonne slipway for smaller vessels.

Sheltered Harbour

Facilities onsite include showers & toilets for crew, a fully equipped office with internet access, and easy access to Whangarei CBD. We can arrange rental vehicles, accommodation, sort out crew visas and permits and look after you during your time ashore.

Full Project Management

As well as our team of specialist marine fabricators, heavy engineers, fitters and electricians, we work with our trusted specialist tradespeople and suppliers, or yours, to complete your ship repair project on time and within budget.
