Marine Freight Services

Nanaimo Ocean Adventures has the capacity to safely transport freight aboard our self-propelled barge the “Harbour Hustler”. The working deck area is 27′ x 8′. It’s ideal for cars, golf carts, trailers and other roll on roll off items. Also, items can be craned on and unloaded by hand at remote sites. Please call us to discuss what you need moved. If we can’t help, we will send you in the right direction.

We have delivered items to local islands such as Newcastle, Protection, Mudge, DeCourcey, Valdes and Ruxton. We have also been contracted to operate as a mobile work platform for marine construction and dive operations.
