400' x 99.5' U.S. Flag Ocean Former Tank Barge Sold
Marcon International of Coupeville, Washington brokered
the sale of a 400.0' x 99.5' x 25.0' depth', U.S. flag ocean
former tank barge to foreign interests. The 16,200 long
ton deadweight, single skin, double raked barge was built
in 1981 by FMC Corp. of Portland, Oregon. The barge
last served as a dedicated oil spill recovery barge with a
149,000bbl capacity in Alaska until 2018 when Marcon
brokered its sale to present Sellers. Barge was classed
ABS +A1, Oil Tank Barge, Spill Response. All oil spill
recovery related equipment has since been removed, as Buyer's intent is to convert the unit to dedicated
deck service.
The barge is fitted with a small notch aft, mooring winches
and has a flat steel deck. This class of barge was originally built for combo
ocean deck/tank service and many sisters have since been converted to
dedicated ocean deck service. Marcon can develop a sister barge, which is
currently undergoing full conversion to ABS Ocean Deck Service. Please
contact this office for full details, price guidance and timing for delivery. This
is the second ocean tank barge sold this year and the 104 th sold since
Marcon opened its doors in 1981.
