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.

Bodrog River – Confluence with the Tisza

In late 2025, we conducted a high-precision 3D bathymetric survey along an approximately 9-kilometre r each of the Bodrog River, commencing at its confluence with the Tisza River. The survey was undertaken in preparation for a planned in-water engineering project, for which an accurate and up-to-date assessment of riverbed conditions was essential. Multibeam echosounder technology […]

Transit of Self-Elevating Barges to Belgrade

In preparation for the floating operations related to the demolition of the Old Sava Bridge in Belgrade, the required marine units were transported along the Danube in July 2025. Our push boat Zsombor delivered two 52-metre self-elevating barges from Mohács to the Serbian capital, where preparations for the arch span floating operation were already underway. […]

Precision Underwater Demolition Works on the Sava River – Removal of Piles at a Port Pontoon in Belgrade

During our operations on the Sava River in Belgrade, we also carried out a waterborne task that was independent of—but spatially closely related to—the demolition of the Old Sava Bridge. The objective of the project was the professional removal of an aged pile structure supporting an old port pontoon, which, if left in the riverbed, […]

Decisive Moments in Mohács: Creating a Dry Work Area in the Middle of a Rushing River

According to magyarepitok.hu, the construction of the Mohács Danube Bridge has reached a key phase: on October 1, the first shell element of Pier No. 3 was placed into the riverbed. During the works carried out by Duna Aszfalt Zrt., six reinforced concrete shell elements will be stacked to create a dry work area in […]
