Nauticworx is pleased to welcome Combifloat, a Dutch specialist in modular floating and self-elevating marine equipment, to the platform. Combifloat has been active since 1957 and operates on all continents. Its arrival gives vessel owners, charterers, and brokers a direct route to modular jack-ups and pontoons for nearshore projects.
Who Is Combifloat?
Combifloat was founded in Rotterdam in 1957. Its head office is in Capelle aan den IJssel, the Netherlands, with a branch office in Dubai and a worldwide network of agents. The company owns a large portfolio of fully modular floating and self-elevating equipment, built around three series:
- C-5 jack-ups
- C-7 jack-ups
- C-9.5 jack-ups
The company says its modular jack-ups include the world’s largest, able to lift more than 1,000 mt of payload. It has also completed the design of a semi-modular monohull for water depths beyond 60 meters and a 2,000 mt payload. Fabrication sites in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, plus stock held at strategic locations, support short delivery times.
A Group That Keeps Growing
Combifloat has expanded steadily in recent years:
- Oceanteam: the acquisition of Oceanteam moved the group into cable logistics.
- Poseidon Jackup LLC: this US start-up in 2025 helps Combifloat serve clients globally.
- Australian Barge Hire: the acquisition extends the group’s reach into Australia.
Why This Partnership Matters
Equipment for Nearshore Work
Modular platforms can be shipped, assembled, and reconfigured to suit the job. That makes them well suited to ports, jetties, bridges, dredging, and renewables projects.
A Wide Range of Applications
Combifloat’s equipment supports work including:
- Ports, jetties, and terminals
- Dredging
- Renewables
- Geotechnical operations
- Bridges and tunnels
- Landfall and marine outfall
- Oil and gas
- Temporary infrastructure
More Than Equipment
Combifloat also offers in-house engineering studies, parts and spares, manuals and procedures, operators, training, maintenance support, and assembly. Clients get practical help from planning through operation, not just a platform.

- Easier access to modular jack-up and floating equipment
- Engineering and technical support alongside the hardware
