Roll Group has announced the purchase of two new heavy-duty deck barges under construction in Indonesia as part of its ongoing fleet expansion.

The barges are being built to DNV classification standards at an established Indonesian shipyard. They will operate under the Indonesian flag while remaining available for deployment worldwide, supporting engineered transport requirements for energy and infrastructure projects.

Each barge has an overall length of 85.2 m and a beam of 27.4 m, with a depth of 6.1 m and a design draft of 4.8 m. The units provide a deadweight capacity of about 9,350 tonnes and feature a flat deck rated for loads of up to 20 t/m².

The ballastable design allows operations in shallow-water environments and supports the transportation of heavy modules and oversized project cargo. Construction is progressing toward scheduled completion by the end of 2026, in line with Roll Group’s operational planning.

Upon delivery, the barges will be integrated into Roll Group’s existing fleet. The additions are intended to support projects across multiple regions, including Asia and the Middle East, where the company has established activities.
