Boskalis has confirmed that the 58,000-tonne semi-submersible drilling rig Transocean Endurance was loaded aboard BOKA Vanguard in Singapore for transport to Norway. The rig is 116 metres long.

The cargo spans 97 metres and projects beyond the vessel’s deck edges. BOKA Vanguard is 275 metres long and more than 80 metres wide following widening work. Boskalis said its engineers accounted for the overhang when planning how to secure the rig for the sea passage. The company lists BOKA Vanguard in its semi-submersible heavy transport fleet.

HMT News previously reported that BOKA Vanguard departed Singapore on 19 October, with arrival in Ølen estimated for 9 December. Transocean Endurance is expected to begin a two-year Norwegian drilling programme in the second quarter of 2027.
