Following the successful parbuckling of Costa Concordia, and in anticipation of the pending refloat, Dockwise, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V., provides some basic information on how the float-on will be conducted.

This is a unique chance to see the world’s largest semi-submersible working on a different assignment than the transportation of offshore oil and gas structures.
