Weipa Mission Bridge
Marine Access & Bridge Maintenance Support
Australian Barge Hire supplied multiple marine assets to support remediation and maintenance works on the Weipa Mission Bridge across several stages between 2019 and 2021.

Sea Lift 6 and Sea Lift 10 provided stable, elevated working platforms alongside the bridge, offering direct deck access to work fronts and supporting safer and more efficient operations over the water.
The jack-up platforms could be elevated to the required working level, providing a fixed and level platform unaffected by tidal movement. Their large deck areas also allowed the equipment and facilities required for the works, including site offices and amenities, to be accommodated directly on the working platform.
Sea Transfer 1, Sea Punt 5 and Sea Punt 6 provided additional marine support throughout the works, with Sea Lift 6 returning in 2021 to support further bridge maintenance.
Key Benefits:
- Direct deck access to bridge work fronts
- Stable and level working conditions over the water
- Reduced exposure to tidal movement compared with conventional floating barges
- Sea Lift 6 remobilised in 2021 for further bridge maintenance
Key Benefits:
- Improved accessibility and productivity
- Multiple ABH assets deployed across different stages of the project
Key Benefits:
- Large deck areas for equipment and project facilities
