The Heavy Lift Hoverbarge is engineered as a mission-critical logistics platform for remote, ice-bound, and infrastructure-poor regions. Its design incorporates a rigid welded aluminium hull with a modular machinery configuration, enabling rapid maintenance and high system redundancy in challenging environments.
At over 40 metres in length and nearly 25 metres in beam, the craft is optimised to transport 150+ tonnes of payload whether heavy machinery, prefabricated modules, or fuel tanks across varied terrain including thick ice, wetlands, and tidal flats. The propulsion and lift systems are split into identical, self-contained modules (five thrust, three lift), allowing simplified replacement and easier spares management for continuous operations.
