On Friday, 12 December 2025, BOA carried out the launch of BOABARGE 39, a semi-sub barge, in the drydock of Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore Co. Ltd (DSOC).

The barge will have a deadweight capacity of 57,500 t and will be able to submerge so that 22.5 m of water stands above its deck. These capabilities will expand BOA’s ability to support future projects that involve launching and transporting large, heavy cargoes.

Launching the hull of BOABARGE 39 represents a major step in the construction of the semi-submersible unit, which was designed in-house by the BOA engineering team.

Installation and assembly of the barge will now move ahead, with delivery planned for late summer 2026.
