Boskalis acquires remaining 50% share of Smit Lamnalco

Boskalis's acquisition of the remaining 50% share of Smit Lamnalco, announced in March 2026, represents a significant strategic consolidation within the maritime services sector. This move grants Boskalis full ownership of Smit Lamnalco, a key asset that will contribute to the growth and operational strengthening of its Towage & Salvage division. As a global services provider in dredging, maritime infrastructure, and maritime services, Boskalis is leveraging this acquisition to enhance its core capabilities and market position. While the deal value remains undisclosed, the full integration of Smit Lamnalco is expected to yield operational synergies and allow Boskalis complete strategic control over its towage and salvage operations. This consolidation underscores Boskalis's commitment to expanding and solidifying its presence in critical maritime support services, which are essential for global trade and offshore activities. The acquisition positions Boskalis to fully capitalize on the strategic direction and performance of Smit Lamnalco, aligning it entirely with the broader corporate objectives.
