Wave Walker Boosts
Productivity
WaveWalker is an eight-legged ‘walk- ing’ jack-up barge designed especially for marine operations in rough seas, surf zones, beaches and other inter- tidal locations where operation of traditional SEWPs is uneconomic.
Bi-directional movement allows it to move and relocate without fl oating.
Because the impact of sea conditions on operations is reduced, WaveWalk- er can considerably boost productiv- ity in tasks such as drilling and pipe- line and cable-laying. www.wavewalkerbv.com
