USNA Barge Rental

Provide a deck barge that will be used for weight testing purposes only, the barge will be placed in our basin and lifted out of the water with our 300MT Travel Lift and placed on our designated lift area to be filled with water and additional weight on the deck if needed to get to our weight load goal of 726,000 tons. The calculation for water and additional weight load will be determined by the size and weight of the barge.

The specs for the barge that is required should be no more than 28’wide x 109’long x 10’deep. with access ports that will allow us to fill with water and dewater once weight test is complete. The reason we need a barge with these dimensions is because are basin is only 31’10’’ wide plus we have to take inconsideration once the spreaders from the 300 MT Marine Travel Lift are in place to lift the barge they are 12’’wide times two one on each side of the barge.

Barge must be able to maintain water integrity and be structural sound for lifting out of the water. Barge must be delivered free of any contaminates that will be in violations of EPA laws. See PWS for additional Details.
