en.Wedoany.com Reported - Royal Boskalis has confirmed that its Construction Support Vessel (CSV), the "BOKA Northern Ocean," has completed its drydocking at the Astander shipyard in Santander, Spain, and has set sail for the North Sea to undertake a project lasting over 100 vessel days. During the yard stay, the vessel underwent several critical equipment upgrades, including a comprehensive inspection and repositioning of its 100-tonne knuckle boom deck crane, and the installation of an anti-roll tank beneath the helideck to enhance safety and operational precision under dynamic sailing conditions.

The "BOKA Northern Ocean" is sailing out to perform a decommissioning assignment. The contract for this task was signed in March this year between Boskalis Subsea Services and UK energy giant Shell, with a contract value in the millions of pounds, marking the first dedicated decommissioning project secured by Boskalis. Furthermore, the vessel recently deployed a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for the first time from Boskalis's Remote Operations Centre (ROC) in Aberdeen, Scotland.
