On 11th August the barge “GPS 1607”, the third in the series of new drywell hopper barges being built for GPS Marine by CMS Werf, was launched at Leeuwarden in Friesland. The barge is pictured having her deck equipment being loaded aboard prior to being officially measured on the 14th August. She is expected to be delivered at the end of the month and to enter service immediately upon arrival in the Thames.
