Fleet Expansion
Netherlands-based Jack-Up Barge has officially introduced its latest fleet addition, JB 121, during a vessel christening ceremony in Dalian, China.
The ceremony marks the formal introduction of the three-legged accommodation and services jack-up into the Jack-Up Barge fleet and an important next step in the company’s continued expansion within the offshore energy market.
The barge was blessed by her godmother, Ms. Yu Yuan, member of the Board of DSOC.
Earlier this year, Jack-Up Barge initiated the acquisition of JB 121 as part of its ongoing fleet development. The addition of JB 121 further strengthens a fleet that also includes JB 114, JB 115, JB 117 and JB 120, expanding the company’s ability to support a broad range of offshore installation, commissioning, maintenance and accommodation campaigns.
The three-legged jack-up features a truss-leg design with a rack-and-pinion jacking system, providing a stable platform for offshore works.
The unit offers modern accommodation for up to 354 personnel, allowing it to support large offshore project teams during offshore campaigns.
JB 121 is equipped with three cranes: a 200-tonne WLL main crane located on the cantilever, increasing operational reach alongside offshore structures, and two 50-tonne WLL auxiliary cranes for additional lifting support.
