A new neighbour moved onto The Strand reclamation on Tuesday.
In recent months the jack-up barge has provided a work platform for the harbour link project.
'It just provides an access platform,” says project manger Tony Pike. 'You can jack it up out of the water and create a stable platform.”


McLeod Cranes removed the legs or spuds from the barge this morning.

The harbour link work is finished and over the next couple of weeks the barge will be disassembled and trucked back to a yard in Drury to await its next job.
