Built in 1980 by BLDR BLUE STREAK 178, this self-elevating offshore liftboat is a robust multi-role marine asset designed for offshore construction, maintenance, and support operations. The unit features a hull with an overall LOA of 27.6 m and a barge-only LOA of 23.8 m, with an overall BEAM of 19.2 m and barge BEAM of 11.6 m, complemented by a hull depth of 2.4 m. The vessel is supported by a heavy-duty three-leg jacking system with each leg measuring 39.6 m in length, OD 1.07 m, and a leg tower height of 4.3 m, enabling stable elevated operations in a max working water depth of 21.3 m and minimum working water depth of 2.1 m, with a pad-to-deck elevation capability of 35.7 m. The jack-up pad is configured at 7.3 m x 3.7 m x 0.6 m, engineered with a bearing load capacity of 14,648 kg/m² and a 4-way slope design for seabed adaptability.
The vessel is fitted with dual Nautilus pedestal-mounted deck cranes consisting of a primary 45 ton SWL crane (model M70-80) with an 24.4 m fixed boom and secondary 5 ton SWL crane (model 3000-101-020) with a 15.2 m fixed boom, providing flexible lifting capabilities across variable radii and offshore operational envelopes. Propulsion is provided by GM main engines, model 12V71, delivering a total output of 800 hp, integrated with Twin Disc reduction gear at 3.5:1, supporting transit speeds up to 5 knots with fuel consumption of 73.5 L/h per engine full load and 36.7 L/h half load. Electrical generation is supported by a GM 4-71 generator set producing 75 kW, with fuel consumption of 24.2 L/h, ensuring reliable onboard power distribution for deck systems and accommodations.
The vessel offers a total deck area of 212.5 m², with a clear working deck area of 123.9 m² and a maximum deck load capacity of 58,967 kg, making it suitable for heavy offshore cargo, equipment staging, and modular operations. Tank capacities include diesel fuel of 15,140 L, lube oil 568 L, hydraulic oil 5,120 L, and potable water 15,140 L, supporting extended autonomous operations without frequent resupply. Accommodation facilities are arranged for a total of 27 POB, including 2 VIP cabins, supported by fully equipped galley, dining, TV lounge, laundry facilities, and centralized HVAC systems.
Navigation and communications systems are fully outfitted with compass, GPS/DGPS, radar, fathometer, loudhailer, VHF, satellite phone, and EPIRB, ensuring compliance with offshore operational requirements, although GMDSS is not fitted. The vessel is USCG regulated under USA jurisdiction, with registered tonnage listed at 178 GRT, and no formal class notation recorded. Overall, this liftboat represents a versatile offshore platform combining heavy lifting capability, elevated work functionality, and self-propelled transit efficiency for a wide range of offshore energy and marine construction applications.
