Skylift 3000

We recently towed this 60 x 28m newbuilt submersible jack-up/floating dock from The Netherlands to its new Owners in the UK.

It is designed and built to launch heavy structures such as warships or concrete structures from the quay into the water and vice versa. It can also be used as a movable drydock or transport pontoon. It is a conventional Jack-Up that can submerge without the use of pumps and/or ballast systems. The valves in the top and bottom of the pontoon are opened and the submerging can begin. Very cost-effective as it saves a lot of time and is low in maintenance. Also much safer as you work above the waterline and is always 100% horizontal on its spudlegs. It has a payload of 3,000T.
