Hull Re-plating

[changeman]

Following on from my enquiry about hull thickness, can anyone give me some idea what sort of costs are involved in replating a barge.
I appreciate that every job and yard are different, but a ball park figure per square metre would help and a range of costs from different perspectives would be a real bonus.
Regards

Why not jut buy a new one .. Will probably be cheaper .. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

The key word in your response is "probably".
As I don't know what costs are involved and the hull will only need a partial re-plating, I am in the dark until someone can give me ball park figures. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think you are expecting the unlikely asking the question here.

Why don't you identify people capable of carrying out the work within a sensible distance of the boats location and ask them for advice/guidance? Alternatively, get a good surveyor experienced in such vessels to help.

Try the "Dutch Barge Assn" more likely to have some experience.
