Jade Hiev refitted as barge

The "Jade Hiev" is getting rebuilt after the collapse of its boom which was meanwhile removed. The ship is being converted to a self propelled barge by the Jade-Dienst allowing the use of cranes with a lifting capacity of upt to 400 tons in the future. The new deck layout will offer several opportunities to use the ship for construction works on the water.
