HiBaller V, the largest barge ever built on the Sunshine Coast, was launched Monday, Nov. 20 at Port Mellon.
Constructed by H.L. Enterprises on Venture Way in Gibsons and commissioned by HiBaller Transportation, the barge measures 100 feet (30.5 metres) long by 36 feet (11 metres) wide.
HiBaller V is the third barge that has been built by H.L. for the company and is more than twice the size of HiBaller IV. It was designed to be transported in two pieces and was moved in the middle of the night to the launch site.
