1. ) An extension assembly comprising:
- a) a first extension beam removeablely affixed to a deck of a vessel, along a first direction with respect to the vessel;
b) a second extension beam removeablely affixed to the deck of the vessel, along a substantially parallel direction with respect to the first extension beam, and spaced a first distance from the first extension beam, wherein the first and second extension beams are affixed to the deck of the vessel independent of each other, and at least a portion the first and second extension beams extend beyond the transom of the vessel; and
c) a modular traverse beam removeablely affixed to the first and second extension beams along a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the first direction, wherein the modular traverse beam is adapted to receive a work-over rig.

Abstract
An extension assembly is provided that comprises spaced apart first and second extension beams, which are removeablely and independently affixed to a deck of a vessel. At least a portion the first and second extension beams extend beyond the transom of the vessel. The assembly further includes a modular traverse beam removeablely affixed to the first and second extension beams along a substantially perpendicular direction. The modular traverse beam is adapted to receive a work-over rig.

15. ) A method of assembling an extension assembly comprising:
-
a) using a crane affixed to a deck of a vessel to remove a first extension beam from a transom of the vessel, and affix the first extension beam to the deck of the vessel, along a first direction with respect to the vessel, wherein at least a portion of the first extension beam extends beyond the transom of the vessel; b) securing the first extension beam to a first moment plate affixed to the vessel; c) using the crane to remove a second extension beam from the transom, and affix the second extension beam to the deck of the vessel, along a substantially parallel direction with respect to the first extension beam, and spaced a first distance from the first extension beam, wherein at least a portion of the second extension beam extends beyond the transom of the vessel; d) securing the second extension beam to a second moment plate affixed to the vessel; e) using the crane to move a modular traverse beam from the deck of the vessel, and affix the modular traverse beam to the first and second extension beams along a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the first direction, wherein the modular traverse beam is adapted to receive a work-over rig; and f) using the crane to move to work-over rig from the deck of the vessel, and affix the work-over rig to the modular traverse beam. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
