Work barge
A boat used for :
- carrying out repairs and maintenance to fixed aids to navigation
- handling smaller buoys
- relief of personnel and fuelling and provisioning of lighthouses and light vessels.
Note :
No special term exists for this in German, but the general term Seezeichenfahrzeug includes work barges used by the lighthouse services (See note to 8-1-000).
