Brokers CommentsPurchased in the summer of 2007 this vessel was cleaned off, anti-fouled, installed with new anodes and surveyed. It then sailed from Holland to the south coast near Portsmouth.
Fresh out of commercial commission and still holding her licence to work the Rhine, this solid and well equipped barge has had a full systems and dry dock hull survey carried out in Holland in August 2007. The survey was exceptional for both the systems and hull with readings over 7mm (photos available).
This barge has more than proved her worth on the crossing from Holland with all systems and engines working perfectly.
Spica comes with full documentation, tonnage certificate (GN892), SI until 2008 and certification for the A, B & C Zones for the Rhine. She also has all existing tools, ropes, lubricants and diesel on board.
The barge has been ballasted with 100 tons of fine-quality sand in metre cube bags (1600 kg bags x 72) to help with the crossing, with an approximate value of 2000 euros, which will be sold with the boat. Even with these 72 bags the hold is only a quarter full.
This fantastic barge is on the market due to the owners moving abroad. She is an excellent example of a Dutch barge in UK and is in a very good condition. Very Rare in UK in such greatcondition.
Spica is ideal for either commercial use and is ready to trade immediately; or for conversion to a very large houseboat. Her aft quarters are very comfortable and would be the perfect base from which to work on the hold without having to camp on the boat.
She can also be sold with her present mooring and is currently moored on a good berth near Portsmouth. She is rigged for shore power, telephone, broadband internet and water. There is also car parking, shore facilities and refuse removal.
