Shipping Business

Our shipping business is very complex and diverse, as we usually operate on three levels. If needed, we manoeuvre at heights of up to 45 metres and perform lifts by floating cranes. At the water level, we carry out specialised waterborne transports, provide rescue services at construction sites, install and operate barge bridges. Our marshalling boats provide flexible rearrangement of work sites, we transport oversized or specialised goods, as well as float stationary or non-functioning floating equipment.

We have been involved in almost every bridge construction and renovation project on the Hungarian stretch of the Danube over the last 30 years. Our shipping business has made it its priority to service these projects, which often last for years. Our industrial divers scout the underwater work area, clear munitions and explosives if necessary and carry out all underwater construction and reconstruction work. We are constantly expanding and developing our own fleet of equipment, which is regularly maintained to ensure the technical standard of our specialised tools.

Our activity

Bridge constructions

During the construction of river and still water bridges, we float the pre-assembled bridges and bridge elements to the site, then use a floating crane to lift them in place.

Diving operations

Our industrial divers work mainly on bridge construction and reconstruction works on bridge piers, as well as on the construction and maintenance of streamline inlets, river regulation structures and harbours.

River Transport

We undertake the transport of oversized or other special goods by river, as well as the floating of stationary vessels, inoperable boats and other waterborne equipment. We transport fill material for the construction of earthworks to the site.

3D River Basin Mapping

We use our 3D Multibeam system to carry out bathymetric surveys. Our specialised instrument uses a multibeam sonar and a sound velocity probe to map the basin and then provides images of the size, distance and shape of objects on the bottom to an accuracy of cm.

Rescue works

We plan and carry out underwater rescue operations with the help of our specialised equipment and trained divers during disaster management, wreck removals and ship salvage operations.

Waterborne Services for Events

For larger events on the water, we can build custom-designed aquatic facilities, stages, marinas and floating equipment. We provide water rescue services during the event.

Precise and Efficient Water-Based Operations on the Danube – Dismantling of the DN 400 Gas Pipeline between Dunafalva and Dunaszekcső

At the beginning of February, we arrived in the Dunafalva region to undertake a challenging task: dismantling a 400-meter-long gas pipeline that had been lying at the bottom of the Danube for 40 years. The project required meticulous preparation, as the first step involved removing the sediment and concrete covering the pipeline using our tracked […]

Sewer System Introduction in the Industrial Park in Iváncsa – Challenges and Successful Implementation

Our company participated in a special and highly complex project in Iváncsa, where the task was to introduce treated wastewater into the Industrial Park’s sewer system. For HSP, the work was not only a technical challenge but also required us to face the flooding challenges of the Danube once again, which we had to contend […]

Southern Railway Bridge– (2019-2022)

The original of the southern railway bridge over the Danube was opened to rail traffic on 23 October 1877. It has been rebuilt and modernised several times over the past century and a half. The latest modernisation was decided in 2015 and, after lengthy preparations, work started in 2019.
