Barges & pontoons

Newbuilding of barges and pontoons — solid lighters and work platforms for hydraulic engineering and inland shipping.

Solid lighters and work platforms — the unassuming workhorses of the waterways and the building sites.

Barges and pontoons have always been part of our mixed building programme. We build them to measure for hydraulic engineering, for material transport and as floating work platforms — robust, low-maintenance and cut exactly to their purpose.

  • ✓Pontoons as floating work and loading platforms
  • ✓Barges for material and bulk cargo transport
  • ✓Individual dimensions and equipment as required
  • ✓Robust steel construction for a long, low-maintenance service life

By tradition

Built for work

Towed barges and lighters stood alongside motor cargo vessels in the shipyard's historic building programme. That experience goes into every pontoon and every barge we build today — designed with modern 3D CAD, made with the care of six generations.
