She is operated by the Van Es Group who supply, maintain and operate marine and construction equipment worldwide through a group of companies. JB-114 is run by one of these companies, Jack-Up Barge bv which is based in Sliedrecht, The Netherlands.

The Modular Jack-Up is a self elevating platform with pay loads ranging from 250 to 400 tons. They are built of units equal in size to ISO freight containers. This enables them to be transported easily and cheaply around the world. The modular Jack-Ups can be transported by rail, road, or ship to any location both offshore or inland. The barge can easily be mounted together on the site.

The monohulls are larger platforms than the Modulars, with payloads starting at 1,000 tons up to 2,500 tons. These are built and equipped to ensure any specific marine or offshore project can be executed. They also have a 
heli-deck and crane capacity ranging from 300 to 1,000 tons.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
