BARGES AND AMPHIBIAN SHIPS
All our ships are custom made to best meet our clients’ needs.
Amphibian boats are ships on wheels. They can move on land and in the sea.
This technology enables you to take the boat directly home, then up to a ramp to put it back in the water.
These all-purpose ships are made for mussel and oyster farming, enabling their owner to get to less accessible zones to raise and harvest seafood.
Thanks to these big wheels (diameter 1650) and their 4 motorised drive wheels with hydraulic power, they can go from land to sea, whatever the depth of the seabed.
These ships are of the amphibian type and they’re also conceived for passenger transport.
These amphibians are the heart of Navalu’s shipyard as they meet BV standards for the vessel’s structure.
