Roll Group has announced the purchase of two new heavy-duty deck barges currently under construction in Indonesia, as part of its ongoing fleet expansion strategy.
Built to DNV classification standards, the barges will enhance Roll Group’s operational capacity and support the delivery of integrated, engineered transport solutions for complex energy and infrastructure projects. Construction is taking place at a well-established Indonesian shipyard, with completion scheduled for the end of 2026.
Each barge measures 280 feet (85.2 metres) in length, with a beam of 90 feet (27.4 metres), a depth of 20 feet (6.1 metres), and a design draft of 4.8 metres. With a deadweight capacity of approximately 9,350 metric tonnes and a flat deck rated for loads of up to 20 tonnes per square metre, the barges provide a robust and versatile platform for transporting heavy modules and oversized project cargo.
The ballastable design enables efficient operations in shallow water conditions, increasing flexibility across a wide range of project environments. While operating under the Indonesian flag, the barges can be deployed globally to support Roll Group’s international project portfolio.
Once delivered, the new barges will join Roll Group’s existing fleet, further strengthening the company’s ability to provide reliable and cost-effective logistics solutions, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. This investment reflects Roll Group’s continued commitment to fleet development, safety, and operational excellence, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in engineered heavy transport and project logistics.
