Dockwise

Dockwise was a Netherlands-based holding company in the marine transport industry. It was acquired by Boskalis in 2013 and was merged into the Boskalis brand name in 2018.

History
Dockwise was formed in September 1993 by the merger of two complementary companies, Wijsmuller Transport (a division of Heerema) and Dock Express Shipping (a division of Royal Vopak), becoming the world's largest seagoing heavy-transport shipping company. The combined company operated from a new headquarters in Meer (Hoogstraten), Belgium. Wijsmuller brought a fleet of seven semisubmersible vessels (Mighty Servant 1, Mighty Servant 2, Mighty Servant 3, and Super Servant 3, 4, 5, and 6) and four dock-type vessels (Dock Express 10, 11, 12, and 20).

In 2001, Offshore Heavy Transport ASA joined the company, adding two heavy-transport vessels, MV Black Marlin and MV Blue Marlin.

In November 2010, to serve the emerging market for ultralarge transports, such as its Dockwise's Type 0 heavy lift vessel, it appointed Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) of Korea as its shipbuilding yard. HHI was scheduled to deliver the vessel during the last quarter of 2012. Type O was renamed the Dockwise Vanguard.

In 2013, Dockwise was acquired by Royal Boskalis Westminster NV, which provides services in dredging, inland infrastructure, offshore energy, towage, and salvage.
