Technical specifications
Length: 38.89 m
Width: 5.05 m

Materials: Steel and aluminum
Engine: Volvo Penta TAMD 268, 64 kW (replaced before the retirement of the barge operator)

General condition

Structure
Very good structural condition - This barge has a solid structure with the dead works in good condition. The old orange exterior paint is peeling and requires repainting on the entire exterior, but the underlying structure remains sound. Inside, the historic paint is present, in good condition, and shows no signs of oxidation.

A hull survey will be necessary during a dry docking.

Engine
The Volvo Penta engine was replaced before the previous barge operator's retirement. It has therefore run little and is currently winterized in good condition. A restart is to be expected (replacement of batteries, adjustments of cables at the steering station).

Particularities
