The asset has numerous commercial marine applications and will be homeported in the Solent. It is an extremely capable multi-role semi-submersible jack-up barge which can also be utilised as a dry dock, lift platform or transport barge. The Typhoon 3000 is a Ravestein platform of the following dimensions: 60m LOA, 28m beam, 800T on deck crawler crane capacity, 3000T lift capacity, with 52m spud legs. OverWater will be working to commercialise the asset, via commercial charters, when it’s not required within HMNB Portsmouth.
