Royal Boskalis B.V. (Boskalis) has announced the latest addition to its versatile fleet: a groundbreaking subsea rock installation (SRI) vessel with a cargo capacity of 45,500 metric tons.
This project entails transporting the vessel—famously damaged by fire last year—aboard Boskalis' semi-submersible heavy lift flagship, the BOKA Vanguard, for necessary repairs and modifications in Asia.
Creating New Horizons in Port Construction – that’s what Boskalis did in Nigeria. In Lekki, 80 kilometers east of Lagos, we constructed a new port and 700-meter-long sandbar breakwater for which we used the natural sand flow along the Nigerian coast. An excellent example of Building with Nature
The vessel will have a hopper capacity of 31,000 m3 and will be built at the IHC yard in Krimpen aan den IJssel, the Netherlands, over the next few years.
