Vrachtduwbak SB520 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. Vrachtduwbak SB520 for work and transport This Vrachtduwbak SB520 is a tough, functional workboat made of steel, with a history you can feel as soon as you see it. Built in 1970, it has served for over 55 years with Waternet and its predecessors, including DWR (Dienst Waterbeheer en Riolering). This makes it not only a practical choice for those looking for a commercial vessel but also a ship with a clear and traceable history. The boat is being auctioned via Boatauction and is of interest to entrepreneurs, project managers, and water sports enthusiasts looking for a cargo barge for inland waters, transport tasks, or support for work on canals, ditches, lakes, ponds, and rivers. With dimensions of approximately 19.71 meters in length and 4.86 meters in width, the SB520 offers ample cargo capacity for various applications. Consider transporting materials, supporting dredging and maintenance work, moving tools and construction materials, or using it as a pontoon-like workspace. Its draft of about 1.22 meters and air draft of approximately 1.39 meters also make it suitable for many Dutch inland waters where larger vessels may not be able to navigate. Vrachtduwbak SB520 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. What kind of ship is the SB520 exactly? The SB520 is a cargo barge, meaning it is an unmanned vessel intended to be pushed or towed. It has no own steering or rudder system, which is logical within this type of vessel. In practice, this means you would use it in combination with a push boat, tugboat, or other suitable work vessel. This makes the boat attractive to parties already working with push and tow combinations or those looking for an additional barge to expand capacity and flexibility on the water. What documents are available and what does that say about its use? This cargo barge comes with a measurement certificate numbered HN13184 and an SI Certificate numbered SI 12040C. The measurement certificate is valid until October 27, 2035, which is beneficial for those who value clear ship data and formal documentation. The SI certificate was valid until March 27, 2026. All details, conditions, and specifications can be found in the attachments linked to the lot. For many buyers, this is an important point: documentation such as a measurement certificate and certificates helps to get a good understanding of the ship and its possibilities within your intended use. On which waters has it operated and what does that mean for you? The boat has been used on inland waters including canals and ditches but also on lakes, ponds, and rivers. This indicates usage that aligns with typical Dutch work on and around water: urban routes with limited space AND open water where stability and practical usability matter. For you as a buyer, this means that the SB520 is not just a theoretical transport barge but a vessel that has been actively used for commercial operations under various conditions over the years. What about maintenance and underwater hull? No specific date has been provided for when it was last out of the water for maintenance nor has the last antifouling treatment been mentioned. This is relevant information to consider in your preparations. For a steel workboat like this one, it's common for buyers to consider conducting their own inspection beforehand—especially if you plan to use it intensively right away. Think about checking the steelwork, underwater hull, and overall condition according to your plans and the sailing area where you intend to use it. The SB520 was built at Scheepswerf van Eyck—a name well-known among professionals in the world of workboats and steel construction. Its construction is steel-based which makes it suitable for robust applications where a workboat needs to withstand some wear-and-tear while practical usability takes precedence over luxury. If you're looking for a cargo barge for sale that can be used as a workboat, transport barge or push barge for inland navigation projects, then this SB520 is a lot worth serious consideration. It combines a working history with a major water management organization along with usable dimensions and existing ship documents. Through Boatauction it now gets the chance at a new owner who will give it another clear purpose on the water. This cargo barge is being sold separately as part of a total lot of 9 units.
