We prioritize hydrodynamic efficiency, structural integrity, and regulatory compliance, ensuring high-capacity and reliable deck barges for our client’s operations. EBDG’s innovative approach and extensive experience make us a trusted partner in deck barge solutions across North America.
BARGE 455 Series
In 2005 EBDG was selected by Gunderson Marine to team in designing a series of Heavy Lift 455 flat deck barges. Measuring 400'x105' with 25' side shells, the barge has a rated deck capacity of 4,200 LBS/sq. ft. and a certification for unrestricted ocean service. The capacity and increased deck strength are engineered to accommodate larger drilling and production units used for deepwater offshore energy exploration and development, such as in the Gulf of Mexico. The barges are also suitable for use in other regions, including the Alaska North Slope.
Ocean Transport Barge
EBDG was contracted to develop the concept and contract level design for a 418'x90'x26' ocean rated deck barge to transport high value cargoes between the customer's three fabrication and assembly facilities in the Northeastern United States. The design features a high-capacity ballast system to maintain trim, heel and draft during roll-on/roll-of loading operations. The barge is served by a high-volume ballast water treatment system that features nine deep well pumps to ensure cargo integrity during transfer operations. The barge HOLLAND was constructed by Bollinger Shipyards and entered service in 2021 supporting the construction and maintenance of the United States’ Columbia Class Ballistic Missile Submarines and Virginia Class Fast Attack Submarines.
