BOAXT – A BOAT IN A BOX
Designed for Versatility. From Container to Floating Structure in Minutes.
What is Boaxt?
Boaxt is an innovative concept—a boat within a container—designed to create space on water, whether stationary or mobile.
Its structure consists of a standardized ISO container that rapidly unfolds into a floating platform, transforming into a barge for diverse applications on rivers or seas. When multiple units are connected, Boaxt forms expansive, stable surfaces on water.
Once folded, Boaxt reverts to a compact ISO container, minimizing storage space and enabling easy transport via cranes, forklifts, or multimodal logistics by land, air, river, or sea.
Boaxt: Innovation Beyond Technology
Boaxt is more than just a technical breakthrough—it is a new way of thinking about territorial development, leveraging aquatic and marine spaces for greater efficiency and sustainability.
Rooted in proven, adaptable technology, Boaxt fosters thought leadership in space management across land, air, and water. It demonstrates how technological efficiency can align with environmental and human-centric values, supporting the principles of the Blue Economy.
At its core, Boaxt is a catalyst for reimagining the future through the lens of the geo-economics of water—a perspective that connects technology, nature, and global spatial dynamics. This approach underscores Boaxt’s commitment to bridging innovation with sustainable development, shaping a world where water is not just a resource but a foundation for growth and resilience.
Redefining Space
On Water From Venice to African lake markets, Monaco to Singapore, and the Amazon to Polynesian lagoons, for centuries communities have expanded their living and working spaces over water, integrating seamlessly with their natural surroundings.
Boaxt transforms this vision into reality. Designed as a versatile, transportable container, it can move by land, sea, river, or even air. Built on the proven ISO shipping container standard—the backbone of global trade—Boaxt is a durable, easily stored, and universally recognized solution. Its radically innovative design enables deployment anywhere, adapting to diverse environments and needs.

GEOECONOMICS OF WATER
Backed by a proven, rigorous, and reliable technology – and above all, one that can be adapted ad libitum – Boaxt intends to encourage an in-depth thought leadership on technology, focused on challenges of space management in its three major dimensions, land, air and water.
A demonstration that technological efficiency can be harmoniously combined with respect for human beings and nature. This forward-looking dimension is in synergy with the Blue Economy initiative.
Beyond the technical parameters that have presided over the birth of the Boaxt, the idea is to reflect on the future of our world, seen from the perspective of the geo-economy of water, on a global scale as well as on a local scale. Geoeconomics is not a term lightly chosen. It captures Boaxt’s desire to correlate reality and thought, technology and nature.
Deployment of the Boaxt Event model
FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
Arrival
The truck can be a 2-axle vehicle with a 6-meter flatbed carrying a 20-foot Boaxt, or a tractor with a trailer, or even a semi-trailer, of 12 meters, carrying 2 Boaxts of 20 feet or 1 Boaxt of 40 feet.
Wedging
The truck or tractor may be equipped with its own auxiliary crane. In this case, it will have to lower its jacks before the crane can be deployed. Otherwise, a mobile crane will have to be positioned on the site.
Setting up trestles
The 4 trestles are set up to receive the Boaxt at a precise position, defined according to the site configuration and in accordance with available space.
Moving the container to the trestles
Once slung, the Boaxt can be guided by the operators to be positioned on the 4 trestles. The crane, if it is well positioned, can remain in position and on stand-by.
EXTRA SPACE STRAIGHT OUT THE BOX!
Transport
Boaxt can be transported on a 6-meter flatbed truck carrying a 20-foot unit or a 12-meter trailer/semi-trailer carrying two 20-foot units or one 40-foot unit, ensuring seamless delivery and deployment.
Positioning
Boaxt can be securely positioned using an auxiliary crane if this is available on the transport vehicle, or alternatively, a mobile crane can be utilized on-site.
Setup
To securely support the Boaxt, four trestles are positioned according to the preferred site configuration and available space.
Moving
Once slung, operators guide the Boaxt onto the four trestles, with the crane remaining on standby if it is suitably positioned.
Boaxt, at the heart of the challenges
From Venice to African lake markets, from Monaco to Singapore, from the Amazon to the lagoons of Polynesia… for immemorial times and all over the planet, human communities have sought to reclaim spaces over liquid elements, to live in symbiosis between land, sky and water.
Boaxt responds in a practical way to this desire for expansion. Boaxt is a container that can be transported by land, sea or river, and even by air. Solid, easily stored and handled, known to all, the ISO shipping container is the keystone of world trade. Boaxt Boaxt is a radically innovative container that can be used in all modes and under all skies.
