The service
Land and swamp plant on hire, from our own yard and jetty.
Winsko owns the land and swamp plant it works with, and it leases that plant to other contractors and operators: swamp buggies, cranes, barges, tug boats, house boats and speed boats, from its base on the Trans-Woji waterfront in Port Harcourt.
The base sits on 100,000 square metres with its own jetty, where all marine work is mobilised. Clients also lease space on the yard and in the warehouse, and stage their materials there, from sand and chippings to equipment, ready to be carried by Winsko's barges to swamp locations.
Winsko builds its own barges, tug boats and house boats in its yard. The company profile lists two more of each under construction.
