A versatile and proven 40.2-metre aluminium split hopper barge, built in 2012 in New Zealand and maintained in current Maritime New Zealand survey. Specifically designed for efficient dredging and spoil transport operations in shallow-water environments, including inlets, marinas, harbours, estuaries and river systems.

The vessel is capable of operating at a draft of just 2.0 metres while carrying up to 620m³ of spoil, providing an excellent combination of payload capacity and shallow-water accessibility. Its lightweight aluminium construction and split hopper configuration make it a highly versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of marine civil and dredging projects.
