Floating Cranes / Loading Facilities

Our floating cranes / loading facilities are designed to meet the toughest conditions in terms of loading capacity and working environment. The floating cranes / loading facilities transship dry bulk cargo from barges to ocean-going bulk carriers (up to Capesize) and we provide stevedoring crew, mooring gang and have dozers and loaders on the barges to ensure optimum shifting of the bulk cargo for efficient operations. We are also able to unload dry bulk cargo from bulk carriers to barges (offshore) and from barges and/or bulk carriers directly to shore.


Tugs & Barges


Our fleet of owned and managed tugs & barges are used for the transport of dry bulk cargo from the inland jetties to the anchorages to be loaded onto either gearless (using floating cranes / loading facilities) or geared ocean-going bulk carriers. We also provide domestic inter-island barging services and even international barging services to South-East Asian countries (using ocean-going tugs & barges and/or self-propelled barges).


Fully-Integrated Offshore Transshipment Solutions


ARK is always prepared to support the specific requirements of our clients and our goal is to provide innovative and reliable fully-integrated offshore transshipment solutions. We are able to handle the entire transshipment operation for our clients - from the loading of the dry bulk cargo to our barges at the inland jetties, the barging of the cargo to the anchorages and then the transshipment of the cargo onto either gearless (using floating cranes / loading facilities) or geared ocean-going bulk carriers. The monitoring and supervising of all loading activities will be handled by ARK and our professionals will continuously assess the operational processes to optimise efficiency and thus reducing costs for our clients. Inversely, we are also able to provide a fully-integrated discharging solution for our clients, unloading dry bulk cargo from bulk carriers to barges (offshore) and from barges and/or bulk carriers directly to shore.
