BOA has completed the launch of two floating dock sections at Wulkan Shipyard for Trend Projekt.

Each section measures 82 m by 47 m. The launch was carried out using the semi-submersible barge Boabarge 36, which measures 124 m x 31.5 m x 7.93 m and provides 3,600 m² of deck space.

BOA said the barge’s submerging capacity of 8 m forward and 12 m aft above deck supported a safe and controlled float-off operation.

The third and final floating dock section is scheduled to be launched in August 2026.

Once completed, the floating dock will be one of the largest in the Baltic Sea and is expected to strengthen shipbuilding capacity in Western Pomerania.

BOA also provided engineering support and operational management for the barge during the project.
