The front and rear doors are opened to the horizontal position. The floats are tilted until the hinges connecting the central floats and the extensions are vertical.

The 4 end floats are unfolded and secured to the central float.

The tilting of the unfolded floats continues until they come to rest on the swivel brackets fixed to the trestles. The central floats are locked in their final position.

The crane can then resume its handling and lay the Boaxt in the water. The above operations can be repeated to place other Boaxts afloat, which will then be moored to each other, and to the quay or to the bank.

Once the Boaxts are secured to each other and moored to the quay, the perimeter of the deployed surface will be protected with stanchions and lifelines, which will protect people from falling into the water.

Then, access footbridges and all safety equipment required by regulations will be installed.
