Technical details

• LOA: 130 metres
• Width (beam): 28 metres
• Deadweight: 11,883 tonnes
• Draught: 6.5 metres

The vessel has an auxiliary 35-ton deck crane (inboard use). It also has a 250-ton active heave compensating (AHC) subsea crane. The BOKA PRIDE offers 2,000 square meters of deck space and 6,000 tons of cargo carrying capacity.

Operational area

Focus is offshore energy in Asia-Pacific. Data shows repeated calls to Taichung and Taiwan, which tie the vessel to subsea and cable-lay work on the Changhua offshore wind farms.

Crew and lifestyle

Up to 100 personnel live in single and double cabins. Facilities include project offices, ROV control rooms, sauna, a 52-seat TV room, Wi-Fi and gaming consoles. BOKA PRIDE crew reviews give 5/5 for accommodation, downtime, food, cleanliness and Wi-Fi. This environment supports subsea BOKA PRIDE jobs offshore.

Environmental initiatives

The Clean notation limits operational emissions. DP-3 station keeping holds position without anchoring, which reduces seabed scarring. Ballast (6,924m³) and fresh-water (900m³) tanks support controlled transfers offshore.
