Boat Moving Services
Ro/Ro (Roll on/Roll off):
This service is the most common and the most
recommended way to transport your boat. They actually tow
your boat on a trailer or cradle into the ship and park the
boat on the lower deck. This is safe, secure and eliminates
any potential damage while the ship is at sea. When the ship
arrives at the port of destination it is easy to tow the boat
off the ship and to its final destination.
In a Ro/Ro operation, the cargo moves as one
piece on a specialized trailer from port to port and in some
cases on flatbed trailers or lowboys from origin to destination.
There is less handling because the cargo is not lifted on
and off the vessel, but driven on, parked, and then driven
off. There is no danger of water damage because the cargo
is always secured in the vessel's garage decks for the entire
voyage. In general, the Ro/Ro mode is the safest and cheapest
way to handle oversize boats.
Enclosed Boat Container:
Most liner vessels around the world today are
full container vessels. If your boat fits the dimensions of
a standard container (40' long, 7'8" wide and 7'10"
high) boat transporters will ship it in a container.
These vessels are perfect for cargo that fits
neatly into a standard 20'or 40' container. However, when
shipping an oversized boat, we recommend that the manufacturer
will disassemble certain parts from the boat such as engines
in smaller boats, upper cockpits, bimini top, etc.
Flat rack:
For oversized boats, transporters use a flat
rack and strap to secure your boat to the vessel. We recommend
shrink-wrapping the boat to protect it from damage or debris
getting into your boat.
Water to ship moves:
Boat movers load and unload your boat directly
from the water.
Barge to ship moves:
Boat movers load and unload your boat directly
from a barge in the water to the ship.
