Discuss a project ↗The WHH fleet
The fleet is
the toolkit.
More than 70 vessels give WHH the flexibility to provide workboat hire, floating plant and a practical marine package around the project—without forcing the work around a standard hire item.
Five connected families
Adaptable craft.
Configured to work.
Our workboat and marine plant fleet covers lifting, transport, propulsion, floating access and specialist waterway work. The individual vessel matters, but so do the attachments, stability arrangements, supporting craft and people around it.
This guide covers 22 principal craft types. Many are available in several sizes or configurations, allowing us to combine the right capabilities for the site.

Explore this fleet family →One fleet, combined around the task
A vessel rarely works
in isolation.
A crane barge may need a tug, cargo support, welfare and a safety craft. A survey pontoon may need stabilising spuds, access equipment and a compact propulsion arrangement. WHH brings those interfaces together under one practical plan.
