Boskalis provides terminal services in ports around the world. Across a growing worldwide network of ports, Smit Lamnalco provides safe, reliable and cost-effective terminal services. We also provide emergency response, salvage and wreck removal services to vessel owners, operators or insurance companies through our subsidiary SMIT Salvage. To ensure continued accessibility to your port, we provide cost-effective maintenance dredging services including sustainable disposal of dredged material. In addition, we inspect, repair and maintain quay walls, jetties and buoys.

Boskalis helps your port to retain its place in the premier league and meet the changing demands of the global maritime industry. We help maximize safe and efficient ship handling.

We reduce costs by providing reliable long-term operational services.

Optimizing port maintenance

Involve us in the design phase of your port development and we can optimize port maintenance by including future requirements.

Ensuring ships arrive and depart on time

We provide the vital link between ship and berth through the Smit Lamnalco joint venture.

Safe navigation and emergency response

Wrecks must be removed when they pose a threat to safe navigation or obstruct access. Ports must have a plan for preventing, containing or cleaning up oil spills. SMIT’s highly trained and experienced salvage teams are equipped to respond immediately to emergencies anywhere in the world 24/7, delivering cost-effective compliance with requirements such as OPA ’90.

Port expansion,
Maasvlakte 2

PUMA, the Project Organization for the Extension of the Maasvlakte, is a 50/50 joint venture between dredging and marine contractors Boskalis and Van Oord. The consortium has been contracted by the Rotterdam Port Authority to construct the first phase of the Maasvlakte 2 Project – the extension of the Port of Rotterdam – between 2008 and 2013.

Fortunately, the majority of the passengers and crew were safely evacuated yet as it turned out later, 32 people regrettably lost their lives.
