The magazine features articles and videos on groundbreaking projects and activities through which Boskalis fulfils its purpose: creating and protecting prosperity and advancing the energy transition.

A stunning new video on this salvage operation accompanies this article. Also in the spotlight are our versatile crane vessels Bokalift 1 and Bokalift 2, which completed major installation campaigns for the offshore wind farms Changfang & Xidao in Taiwan and Southfork Wind in the United States, respectively.
There are also inspiring articles on the survey activities of Boskalis subsidiary Gardline, the various pilots with electric equipment as part of our efforts to reduce emissions, the construction of the Pulau Tekong polder in Singapore and on the activities within Boskalis’ Artificial Reefs Program.
