Norwegian outfit BOA Offshore, a company owned by Ole. T Bjørnevik and his family are set to put their newbuilt barge in the Shanghai-Singapore are from December 2022, onwards. 

The semi-submersible barge, named the Boa barge 38, is capable of horizontal submerging to 21.5 metres of above water deck. The unit has a uniform deck strength of 35 mt/m2 and a free deck area of 5.150 m2.

Boa Barge 38 can accommodate the load out, float-on and float off of heavy loads, making it one of the most capable barges of this type, according to the company.

Due to the highly versatile design, the barge will be a valuable asset in the years to come for projects requiring heavy loads and extreme submerging capacities, including but not limited to renewable energy projects, shipbuilding and civil construction.
