POSEIDON BARGE LTD EN COMBIFLOAT SLUITEN DE HANDEN OM MODULAIRE JACK UP BARGES TE INTRODUCEREN OP DE NOORD-AMERIKAANSE MARKT

Las Vegas, 15 maart 2023 – Poseidon and Combifloat have entered into a cooperation agreement to develop modular jack up barges for the North American market. The alliance combines Poseidon’s second-to-none barge designs and product capability with Combifloat’s jack up expertise resulting in the best possible proposition for the American Market. A new benchmark, in accordance with the Jones Act and USA Made policies, will be set.

Poseidon staat bekend om het leveren van het meest uitgebreide portfolio van veelzijdige en innovatieve draagbare sectionaalschepen in Noord-Amerika die doorgaans aan Bridge leveren, marinier & Dredge Bouwprojecten. De onlangs verbeterde fabricagefaciliteiten in Bern, IN zijn van wereldklasse. Opmerkelijk, Poseidon is het eerste binnenlandse bedrijf van sectionaalschepen dat ISO-gecertificeerd is 9001:2015.

Combifloat heeft zich gespecialiseerd in modulaire jack-up pontons met een focus op projecten in nearshore, meren en binnenwateren over de hele wereld. With deep knowledge on jacking systems and their demanding operating environments, Combifloat is able to provide safe and efficient stable working platforms.

“At Poseidon we have been contemplating entering the jack up barge market. There has been an increasing demand from many of our customers for jack up barge platforms with large capacity, to be made in the USA. We are confident that Combifloat is the right partner to join forces with, and we are excited to announce this cooperation to bring a new benchmark to the USA”, according to Mary Habegger-Fox, President of Poseidon Barge Ltd.

“During the last year we have come to know Poseidon as a truly entrepreneurial firm that loves building barges; Donnie Fain and Mary Habegger-Fox have shown tremendous growth and earned many of their clients’ loyalty over time. We share similar beliefs on the market and what is currently missing, which supplements our product portfolio and skills. With this cooperation agreement Combifloat’s value proposition is truly global.” According to Jaap-Jan Pietersen, Managing Director of Combifloat.
