Building on Water: Reliable Construction Barge Hire That Delivers

Construction barge hire is essential for any marine or waterfront project requiring heavy-duty equipment, materials transport, or over-water staging.

At Polaris Marine Group, we provide dependable, high-capacity barges that support construction works of all sizes, from wharf upgrades to bridge repairs, foreshore developments, and floating crane operations.

Our fleet is maintained to industry standards and operated by qualified crews who understand the technical requirements of marine construction environments.

Tailored Hire Options for Every Project

We understand that no two marine construction sites are the same.

Whether you need a flat-top barge for transporting materials, a jack-up barge for stability during piling works, or a crane barge for lifting operations, Polaris Marine Group offers tailored construction barge hire options.

Our team will match your project scope with the right equipment, ensuring efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness from the outset.

Supporting Urban and Remote Locations

Our barge hire services are available across metro and regional locations throughout Australia.

We’ve worked on high-profile sites in city harbours and challenging coastal locations where access is limited.

The mobility of our fleet and the experience of our marine logistics team means we can deliver barge solutions wherever the project demands, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum reliability.

Integrated Marine Services

Polaris Marine Group is more than just a plant hire company—we’re a marine contractor with end-to-end capabilities. Construction barge hire is offered as a standalone service or as part of broader marine construction packages.

We can supply marine crews, project engineers, crane operators, and other support personnel alongside barge hire to simplify project delivery and reduce the number of contractors on site. Clients benefit from dealing with a single, experienced provider who can oversee operations from mobilisation to demobilisation.

Meeting Safety and Compliance Requirements

Every barge in our hire fleet is certified and compliant with maritime regulations. We take care of all safety documentation, operational procedures, and marine risk assessments required for construction projects.

Our operational planning includes tide charts, environmental considerations, and berth management so that your barge hire integrates seamlessly into the broader project schedule. We’re fully insured and experienced in working within government and private sector compliance frameworks.

Trusted by Major Contractors

Our construction barge hire services are trusted by some of Australia’s leading marine and civil contractors.

From emergency works and infrastructure upgrades to large-scale capital dredging and pile-driving programs, we’ve supported a wide range of marine builds with responsive, professional barge hire solutions.

We understand the pressure of working to tight timeframes and deliver dependable equipment and crews you can count on.
