156ft Commercial Barge

156ft x 17ft 6 ins. Draft 7ft 9 ins. Air draft 9ft. Built in 1959 by Cooks of Wivenhoe. Cargo hold was double bottomed in 2003 with 12mm steel plate. Cargo hatches and tarpaulins fitted 2003.Has Lister Blackstone 3 cylinder electric start engine 202 hp. Hydraulic steering plus two types of emergency steering. Double glazed fold down wheelhouse. Accommodation for three in recently renovated crews quarters. This is a barge with loads of potential. She has a MCA Certification, category D until July 2012. She has also passed all her other previous MCA inspections. She is large enough to be converted into a restaurant/conference barge, floating workshop or even into a house boat - to reduce her size is an option and this could be done close by for an approximate cost of £8,500. She has a 40kva Perkins diesel generator, 1 cyl Petter diesel deck wash/fire pump. She was fully rewired in 2003 with both 220 and 24v. This is an ideal opportunity as to do any conversions she could be lived on in the crews quarters whilst this was happening. Conversion either full or part could be done up here. Laying Goole
