Unexpectedly available from mid October 4 x 27m 110cm3 powered hopper barges.
Due to the end of a long term contract (25+years) we will be selling our 4 barges Elver,Perch,Chub and Pike.
These vessels were built in 1960 for British Waterways and were used on the Gloucester Sharpness Canal and River Severn.
We purchased them in around 1995 and converted them to power and have used them every week since. Engines are well maintained and replaced when necessary.
