Boskalis’ semi-submersible Forte arrived in the icy waters of Alaska after completing a trans-Pacific voyage carrying two floating jetties. The heavy transport vessel had departed China roughly two weeks earlier with the paired structures secured on deck.

Upon reaching the North American state, the vessel offloaded both components, which will be joined locally to form a floating jetty for cruise operations. Although the company’s fleet is active worldwide, Alaska remains a less common destination, making this call a notable addition to its global heavy marine transport track record.
