Boskalis’ BOKA Vanguard Delivers Car Carrier Fremantle Highway – Renamed Floor – to Far East.

The Boskalis semi-submersible heavy transport vessel BOKA Vanguard has successfully delivered the car carrier Fremantle Highway, renamed Floor, to China.

The story of Boskalis and the Fremantle Highway is already well known.

In the summer of 2023, the car carrier was sailing on the North Sea near the Dutch Wadden Islands when a fire broke out.

Boskalis’ SMIT Salvage colleagues, together with a partner, rushed to the scene and successfully stabilized the vessel. After the fire was brought under control, the car carrier was towed to Eemshaven where the salvage team carried out essential quayside work.

With the delivery of the Floor in the Far East, the vessel will undergo further repairs and modifications before returning to service.
