WORKBOAT 104
ECTMarine workboats are heavy duty workboats for different applications in the marine industry. The general design is a multicat type vessel, that can work in shallow waters as well as coastal area’s. The vessels are available in different sizes and with a variety of options and in different configurations such as dredge support vessel, supply vessel, carrier, pusher/ tug. The workboats have a spacious deck and are maneuverable to perform activities in confined area’s.
Suitable waters and enviroments
The Workboat 104 is designed for versatility in challenging and dynamic environments. Its shallow draught of just 1 meter enables safe and effective operation in rivers, estuaries, ports, and other confined or shallow zones. At the same time, its reinforced hull and high bollard pull (2 tons) ensure it remains steady and responsive in coastal waters and moderate offshore conditions.
Whether operating in dredging zones, support areas near offshore platforms, or busy harbor environments, the Workboat 104 is equipped to maintain stability and control in varying tides, currents, and seabed conditions.
Compatible ground conditions
The Workboat 104 is built to operate reliably across a wide range of seabed conditions. Its reinforced hull, shallow draught, and powerful deck equipment allow it to perform on sandy, muddy, or rocky bottoms with confidence. Whether supporting dredging, anchor handling, or coastal construction, the vessel maintains stability and control. Even in challenging or uneven terrain. The terrains include:
- Sandy and silty bottoms, common in inland dredging and reclamation areas
- Rocky or mixed terrain, often found in coastal construction or harbor maintenance
- Soft mud flats, where shallow access and reliable traction are critical
Its robust construction and line pull capabilities make it a dependable tool for anchor handling, positioning of floating equipment, or nearshore support operations in complex bottom conditions.
Project applications
The Workboat 104 is a versatile platform designed to meet the demands of a wide range of maritime and industrial operations. Its compact size, powerful propulsion, and well-equipped deck make it an essential tool for projects that require strength, flexibility, and precision in both inland and coastal waters.
Whether operating as a dredge support vessel, supply boat, pusher, or tug, the Workboat 104 is capable of handling complex tasks in confined environments or open water. Its strong bollard pull, shallow draught, and spacious working deck allow it to adapt quickly to changing project needs, offering efficient support in dynamic and challenging conditions.
- Dredging support, assists with anchor handling, crew transport, and floating pipeline positioning.
- Coastal maintenance, supports coastal works, buoy tending, or construction logistics.
- Push & Tow Operations, functions as a small tug or pusher for barges and pontoons.
- Supply & Logistics, moves cargo, equipment, and personnel between ship and shore or within project zones.
With multiple configurations and a customizable layout, the WB 104 is a versatile solution for a wide range of maritime projects. Feel free to contact us for more information.
