Company profile
Boskalis is active in projects in the energy and ports markets. Our main clients include oil companies, port operators, governments, shipping companies, international project developers, insurance companies and mining companies.
Boskalis has 11,000 employees, including our share in partner companies. We operate in some 75 countries across six continents. Our versatile fleet consists of over 1,000 vessels and equipment.
Demand for maritime services is driven by a number of global trends:
- growing energy consumption
- growth in global trade
- growth in world population
- climate change
Boskalis has a wide range of high-quality services to deal with these trends, giving us excellent prospects for balanced growth.
The addition of SMIT Internationale at the beginning of 2010 expanded Boskalis’ range of services. For nearly 170 years SMIT has been providing maritime services, including towage, salvage, transport and heavy lift. The company has earned an excellent reputation around the world.
Since 2011 we offer Terminal Services with the new Smit Lamnalco combination (50% share).
The acquisition in 2011 of civil constructor MNO Vervat complements our infra and earthmoving activities.
In November 2012 Boskalis announced its intended offer on Dockwise. In March 2013 the acquisition was completed. The combination of the two companies offers new strategic opportunities for accelerated growth of our offshore services for clients in the oil and gas sector.
