An Off-Shore Dry Dock: BOKA Vanguard Lifting a Carnival Cruise Line Ship in the Middle of the Ocean

In 2019, the Carnival Cruise Line's ship Carnival Vista had a broken propeller which would need to be fixed at a dry dock. But the one over at Grand Bahama Shipyard was closed after a crane collapsed and fell onto another ship, so what could the company do?

Enter the BOKA Vanguard, a semisubmersible heavy-lift ship that is usually used to transport oil rigs. Here, it acts as an off-shore dry dock facility!
