Boskalis’ BOKA Fulmar is recognised as one of the world’s most powerful DP2 offshore construction vessels. In recent weeks, the vessel’s capabilities were further enhanced at the Boskalis shipyard in Rotterdam’s Waalhaven.
With a bollard pull exceeding 400 tonnes, the BOKA Fulmar offers exceptional pulling capacity. As part of an upgrade, the vessel has now also been fitted with a 100-tonne active heave-compensated crane, transferred from another offshore vessel within the Boskalis fleet. In addition, two new work-class remotely operated vehicle (W-ROV) spreads were installed.
Following the successful completion of sea trials in the North Sea, the BOKA Fulmar has departed for West Africa. There, the vessel will play a key role in the anchoring and installation of an FPSO, supported by several Boskalis anchor handling tugs.
