Extended operations Window
Maximize uptime
You can’t offload cargo if barge motions exceed very low limits. Finding this narrow window can be a huge challenge and often leads to downtime. Friede & Goldman’s BargeRack is a unique feeder solution that totally eliminates barge motions. We simply lift the barge with wind turbine components as we elevate the vessel. Installation operations are simple, safe, and optimized for maximum uptime by extending the operational weather window.
Minimize Expensive Equipment
Remove the expensive motion compensation equipment from the equation. It’s not required. There are no relative motions between the barge and the vessel. There is no need to build specialized feeder barges with high tech equipment onboard. The BargeRack utilizes United States existing infrastructure.
Utilize Experience
Friede & Goldman has been designing vessels for over 70 years. This history is unprecedented in the offshore market. There are over 120 existing self-elevating vessels built to date utilizing our designs operating in every major region of the world.
