The 1,000 tonne Haven SeaChallenger jack-up barge which has been stored at the former Sally Line berth at Ramsgate Port has now left on its journey to a new owner.
The structure, built by Japanese manufacturer Nippon, has deck dimensions of 50 x 24m and a leg length of 55m and has been bought by marine and renewable energy firm Red7Marine.
The company offers nearshore marine infrastructure and renewable energy, port infrastructure, coastal protection and flood defences and alleviation schemes.
Red7Marine has been awarded the piling contract at the new marina within Dover Harbour.
Haven SeaChallenger has been taken to Portland. It left Ramsgate Port on Saturday (September 10) towed by tug ‘Fortitude’ with tug ‘Pullmoor’ in assistance.
Red7Marine has the piling contract at Portland for its new deep-water berth, which will allow larger ships to dock in the Port.
Jack Up platforms can be used for drilling and installation operations. They are mobile units and can be either towed like other barges or have propulsion units at the aft that move the structure under its own power

i wonder what happened to all the money that company must have paid for berthing it at the port ? its probably similar to the thousands of pounds the wind farm companies pay for use of the harbour – its never mentioned
Real World my thoughts as well, especially as KCC has lent Thurrock Council £20 million in 2021 and now Thurrock Council is being investigated for having excessive amounts of risky debt could be KCC may have made another bad business decision?? Hopefully they haven’t that is a lot of money to tie up in another council,
Do an F.I.R,TO T.D.C, asking for the amounts paid for berthing all this time,

The port dues are shown in the harbour accounts, which are part of the overall TDC accounts , this are made available annually to any member of the public who wants to see them ( I think).
