Birchgrove, barge

This industrial barge is involved in dredging, trenching, pipeline construction and laying underwater cables, by Oil and Gas Engineered Systems (OES). When it isn’t being used in Sydney Harbour, Botany Bay or other Sydney waterways, it is moored in Snails Bay, near the inner west suburb of Birchgrove. Part of the Sydney skyline can be seen in the distance,
