Seaway7’s semi-submersible heavy transport vessel Seaway Hawk has departed Batam, Indonesia, carrying a 12,000-tonne floating dock. The dock is destined for Carena’s shipyard in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, where it will play a key role in expanding the yard’s repair and maintenance capacity.

The loading operation was successfully completed in Batam, and the vessel is now en route to West Africa. Seaway Hawk is scheduled to arrive in Abidjan on 18 October 2025.

This floating dock will enable Carena to service larger vessels and more complex projects, further establishing Abidjan as a strategic hub for ship repair and heavy marine services in the region.
