Vrachtduwbak SB506 now available in online auction. Everyone can place bids until May 18, 2026. Robust freight push barge SB506 from 1969 For those looking for a practical and characterful freight push barge for professional use on inland waterways, the Vrachtduwbak SB506 presents an interesting opportunity. Built in 1969, it has a long work history with Waternet and its predecessors, including DWR (Dienst Waterbeheer en Riolering). This history speaks to its purpose: not as a recreational object, but as a workboat that was part of daily operations on waterways where reliability and predictability matter. The boat is constructed of steel and designed as a push barge, meaning it has no own propulsion or steering. This makes it suitable for parties that already have a push boat or towing capacity and are looking for a steel working platform or transport barge for commercial use. With dimensions of approximately 19.30 meters in length and 4.81 meters in width, the SB506 offers a generous deck area and a size that can be well accommodated on many inland waterways. The stated draft is approximately 1.21 meters and the air draft about 1.44 meters. It has been used on inland waterways, canals and ditches, lakes, ponds, and rivers. This broad usage area makes it interesting for various tasks such as logistical support, material transport, project-based deployment, or as a floating work platform, depending on the setup that a buyer envisions. Vrachtduwbak SB506 now available in online auction. Everyone can place bids until May 18, 2026. What type of boat is the SB506 exactly? The SB506 is a freight push barge, which means it is intended to be pushed or towed and is not equipped with its own steering position, rudder, or propulsion. Therefore, steering is listed as not applicable in the specifications, just like the rudder. The strength of this type of vessel lies in its simplicity and functionality: the boat serves as a steel carrier for cargo, materials, or work on the water. For buyers looking to purchase a push barge for professional use, this type can be a logical choice precisely because it can be combined with existing fleet assets and work processes. What documents are available and what do they say? This lot includes documentation that is essential for many buyers. There is a measurement certificate HN 13213 valid until December 5, 2025, and an SI certificate SI 12044 C valid until June 20, 2027. The ENI number 03800057 is also mentioned along with registration number 038000057. The details can be found in the attachments provided by the client. For those considering purchasing a workboat or push barge through Boatauction, such documents provide guidance in assessing usability and administrative continuity. It is advisable to review the attachments carefully and to have clear requirements for your intended use beforehand. What has it been used for and on which waters? This steel push barge has been commercially deployed and has served over 56 years with Waternet and its predecessors. It has been used on various inland waters including canals and ditches as well as lakes, ponds, and rivers. This indicates a work history where flexibility was important. For a buyer, this can be appealing: the boat was not built for one single scenario but for practical use in different conditions. At the same time, with any used freight push barge it’s always wise to compare your own operational requirements against the available information and any potential viewing. What can you expect from its construction and appearance? The SB506 is built from steel which suits its role as a workboat. Steel is commonly chosen in commercial shipping due to its robust foundation and the possibilities for modifications or repairs within standard shipyard practices. The shipyard mentioned is Scheepswerf Grave. Its appearance tells the story of a vessel with history: a functional push barge that was part of water management and operational tasks for many years. For buyers seeking a steel push barge with clear provenance and an operational signature, it may leave just the right impression. This Vrachtduwbak SB506 will be auctioned via Boatauction. It is of interest to entrepreneurs, contractors, water builders, and other professionals looking to purchase a push barge for transport or as a floating work platform. Take your time to review the lot information and attachments; form an idea of your intended use; then determine your bidding strategy accordingly. This way you give her the chance to continue serving useful purposes on the water in future phases.
