Coastal Lift Specialist Doubles Size of Its Marine Workhorse
Bigger is definitely better, at least for Belle Chasse, La.-based Versabar Inc. Last year, the company took the design of its successful Bottom Feeder and doubled it in size. The result is a floating lifting vessel that is almost as tall as a football field is long and just as wide. The rig can raise up to 7,500 tons in a single lift.
“There's always a demand for heavy lifts on the water,” says Versabar founder, president and CEO Jon Khachaturian.
