The vessel has been retrofitted with a 1,300 kW SeaQ Energy Storage System, which will reduce fuel consumption and emissions during DP operations. Kincardine floating wind farm Boskalis has won a contract to transport and install five floating wind turbines for what will be the largest operating floating wind farm in the world, Kincardine, off the coast of Scotland. The project, for Cobra Wind International Ltd., is Boskalis’ first floating

In the course of 2020, Boskalis commenced preparatory works on the Changfang and Xidao offshore wind project in Taiwan. This project will also be the launching project for our new Bokalift 2 crane vessel. In a similar way to the successful Bokalift 1 that has been deployed on offshore wind projects in Europe, Boskalis is in the process of converting an existing hull to create the Bokalift 2. This DP2 vessel has accommodation for 150 people, will boast 7,500 square meters of free deck space and a 4,000 ton revolving crane capable of lifting structures more than 100 meters high. The Bokalift 2, like its forerunner, will be a flexible, value-adding asset, well-positioned for the installation of current and future generation offshore wind turbine foundations
