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.

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.

Sepetiba_aerial_header.jpg

Reclamation and dewatering works, Sepetiba Bay

The German steel-maker ThyssenKrupp Steel and the Brazilian mining giant Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) teamed up to construct a EUR 3 billion steel factory at Sepetiba. This is a small town of 36,000 inhabitants near Rio de Janeiro with good access to the Atlantic Ocean. The new steel factory allowed Brazil not only to export more of its plentiful mineral resources, but also to produce semi-finished products that can be sold at higher margins. The government authorities of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro both supported the project.

Port development, Lerwick

The Port of Lerwick is situated on the east coast of the Shetland Islands, and is operated by Lerwick Port Authority. The 2008 dredging and reclamation works were one of the largest marine projects to be carried out in Scotland in recent years and constituted the largest single investment in the port to date.

Port construction, Vuosaari

Vuosaari Harbor is the most significant harbor project in Finnish history; in fact, it is unique even on a European scale. Both existing harbors in Helsinki’s city centre are being transferred to the eastern outskirts of the city. They are being replaced with a harbor with excellent traffic connections that can meet the increasing demand for cargo handling. The Vuosaari Harbor Center will provide a competitive and modern service package, with smooth connections between harbor operations and other logistical facilities. The harbor center will comprise the gate area, the closed harbor area and the adjacent Business Parks. The fairway to the Harbor Center will be 32 km long, at least 200 m wide, and 11 m deep. The port area comprises 150 ha, of which 90 ha will be land reclaimed from the sea.

Salvage operation, Mighty Servant 3

In the morning of 6 December 2006 semi submersible vessel Mighty Servant 3 developed a list and sank off the port of Luanda, Angola, after the offloading of drilling platform Aleutian Key. The vessel was resting at the sea bottom in approximately 52 meters of water.

Cleanup, Ketelmeer

Ketelmeer, a lake in the Netherlands with a length of some 10 kilometers and a width varying from two to three kilometers, separates the North Eastern and Southern Polders constructed during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is a major example of the problem of 'historic pollution'. Lake Ketelmeer receives the waters of the Rijn and IJssel and over a period of three or more decades, tens of millions of cubic meters of highly contaminated sediments entered Ketelmeer from hundreds of upstream locations. The bottom was covered by polluted sediments to an average depth of 50 cm. A significant proportion of this material had to be removed, or capped by the cleaner sediments of recent years, if a normal aquatic environment was to be restored.

Land reclamation, Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway

The Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway is located in the State of Bahrain in an expanse of water called the Khawr Al Qulayah. It connects the Hidd Drydock Highway to the Mina Sulman Port. This major infrastructure project is carried out in advance of the planned expansion of the Bahrain port activities. This New Port project is planned at the Hidd side and via the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway direct connected with the existing Mina Sulman port and Saudi Arabia. The total length of the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway is approximately 6,500 m, including a bridge of 400 m, which was constructed in 2000.
