Work/Accommodation barges provide support to existing platforms<br />
or infrastructure during offshore construction or modification and<br />
maintenance. Flat bottom barges are well suited for the relatively calm<br />
waters off the coast of West Africa.<br />
The barges provide accommodation, lifting capacity and large lay-down<br />
areas. The Work/Accommodation barges are catenary anchored and will<br />
typically be moored in shallow waters alongside or near the offshore<br />
platform. African Worker is however moored in 1 500 m water depth in<br />
Angola.<br />
Marine Subsea has all 5 barges on contract.<br />
Marine Subsea has outsourced the management and crewing of African<br />

Ship Management is managing African Worker and African Lifter.<br />
