For which yacht sizes do you recommend external transport? Jan Stapenhorst: There are many reasons why yacht transport may be a more feasible option than having the yacht transferred under own steam, may it be reduction of operating hours, avoidance of wear and tear on the yacht's equipment, observance of crew change and resting period, avoidance of pirate-infested areas, carrying-out change in ownerships during transportation and cutting on fuel consumption. Yachts transported range from smaller-sized private used sailing yachts (from 35' to 60'), entire yacht charter fleets, larger sailing or motor-yachts in private or commercial use (from 60' to 150'). But also larger units are transported. Basically, there are no limits for yacht transportation. Each yacht can be transported properly depending on the chosen method of conveyance. Here, there are different procedure to assess, like lift-on/lift-off (on MPP vessels), roll-in/roll-out (on vehicle carriers), and sail-in/sail-out (on dock vessels). Each yacht will require her own transport demands and needs hence choosing the proper partner as consultant is so vital. |
