International Jack-Up Barge Association
An Organisation to be known as The International Jack-up Barge Owners Association has now been formed.
The purpose of this Organisation is to introduce best practice in the operation of small to medium size Jack-up Barges working in Europe.
It is envisaged that the Organisation will encourage or assist with the training of future Jack-up Barge masters and will endeavor to produce a standard format which Barge owners and operators can use as a "yard stick" to measure their efficiency and expertise in Jack-up Barge management.
It is the intention of The International Jack-up Barge Owners Association to work with the Marine Coastguard Agency (MCA) and the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) as well as Insurance Companies and the British Wind Energy Association to establish safe and acceptable standards for the operation of Jack-up Barges.
