CH56

This vessel has a flat fully sealed fore deck 6.6 meters long, a 9 cubic meter hold amidships and a store aft.

This vessel is undergoing constant modifications when time allows, the first step will to be to install a flush water tight removable hatch over the hold, therefore increasing deck space by 3.5 meters. This process can be rapidly accelerated if the vessel was needed for a contract.

This vessel has operated successfully in the past with a 360 machine on the foredeck for dredging operations and would be ideally suited to a 10 ton machine (subject to stability calcs).

This vessel is road transportable and available for work in any categorized waters (lakes, rivers estuarys and harbours) of the UK.
