The Jack-Up Platform "Buxenus", Towed by the Tugboat "Eas", Makes a Stop in Gijón on Its Journey to the Netherlands

The jack-up platform "Buxenus" (IMO 8767331), towed by the tugboat "Eas" (IMO 7403146), has left the port of El Musel in Gijón, where it was docked for several weeks due to bad weather at sea. The tugboat and the platform are now heading towards the Netherlands.

The jack-up platform "Buxenus" initially docked at the Romualdo Alvargonzález Figaredo Dock, located in the expansion of El Musel, and was later moved to the Ingeniero Olano Dock, where it waited for an improvement in weather conditions to continue its journey and cross the Bay of Biscay.

This jack-up platform is designed to perform maritime work from a stable structure that can be elevated above the water's surface. Its four lifting legs can rise to over 50 meters in length. Additionally, it is equipped with a Hitachi EX1900 excavator.

The tugboat "Eas" left the port of El Musel on October 30, towing the jack-up platform "Buxenus". Both vessels arrived in France on November 3, before continuing their navigation to the Netherlands, where they will carry out offshore work.
