Offshore vessels

Our fleet includes heavy lift vessels, cable-laying vessels, heavy transport vessels, multipurpose / cable-laying vessels, fall pipe vessels, semi-submersible heavy lift vessels, diving support vessels, offshore construction support vessels, anchor handling tugs, floating sheerleg cranes and survey vessels.

Furthermore we have specialized mission equipment such as trenching equipment such as ploughs, jetting and mechanical trenchers, subsea pre-piling frames, ROVs and various innovative subsea cable tools to support and enhance our activities in the offshore energy industry.

Semi-submersible heavy transport vessels

Specialized marine vessels used in a number of specific offshore transport roles.

Heavy lift vessels

Cost-effective and flexible solutions for heavy lift projects, most with their own means of propulsion.

Cable-laying vessels

Our fleet of cable-laying vessels is a truly multipurpose fleet. Besides a dedicated cable-laying vessel we own two multipurpose cable-laying vessels that are capable of cable-laying as well as executing a wide range of associated activities such as diving support, subsea rock installation, offshore construction support, salvage assignments and even dredging operations. As an addition to these vessels we own three cable lay barges to support IRM and cable joints operations. In offshore and near shore operation.

Diving support vessels

We have diving support vessels in its fleet or on long term charter. These are DP-2 and DP-3 state-of-the-art DSV’s, fully equipped with AIR diving, single and/or twin bell saturation diving and ROV support capabilities. The vessels are operated by a dedicated and experienced crew, operating 24/7 on a year around basis.

Semi-submersible oceangoing barges

We have a fleet of three dedicated semi-submersible oceangoing barges which are capable of transporting heavy or oversized offshore structures under tow. Besides transportation of heavy structures and/or floaters for offshore floating wind farms, these vessels are excellent positioned to perform float-over operations for Topside installation.

Floating sheerleg or crane barges

Floating sheerleg cranes offer cost-effective and flexible solutions for heavy lift projects. Boskalis owns a fleet of floating sheerleg cranes with lifting capacities ranging from 400 to 5,000-ton. These sheerlegs primarily carry out specialist heavy lift activities on projects, requiring specialist in-house engineering skills. Most of our floating sheerleg cranes have their own means of propulsion.
