Project Overview

OceanKlass Solutions Limited is undertaking the construction and fabrication of a 1,000-ton Ramp Barge at its jetty facility in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

The project involves the progressive fabrication and assembly of the barge’s hull and structural components, beginning with the preparation and assembly of steel plates and progressing through fit-up, structural welding, internal framing, bulkhead formation, and deck development.

Key Features

  • 1,000-Ton Capacity: Construction of a heavy-duty ramp barge designed for marine and offshore operations.
  • Hull Fabrication: Progressive assembly and welding of steel plates and structural members to form the primary hull.
  • Structural Framing: Installation of internal bulkheads, transverse frames, longitudinal members, and stiffeners to develop the vessel’s structural framework.
  • Heavy Steel Fabrication: Application of industrial fabrication and welding processes throughout the construction stages.
  • Marine Engineering: Construction undertaken at OceanKlass’ Port Harcourt jetty, leveraging its marine fabrication and engineering capabilities.
  • Project Progress: The build continues through successive fabrication and assembly milestones, transforming raw steel materials into a functional marine asset.

Project Significance

The project reflects OceanKlass Solutions Limited’s capability to move beyond conventional pipeline services into marine asset construction and heavy fabrication, strengthening its capacity to deliver integrated solutions for Nigeria’s oil and gas and marine industries. This aligns with the company’s broader positioning as an integrated pipeline, marine, and engineering services provider.
