Superyacht Transport in South Pacific
Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT) announces that the demand for yacht transport in the South Pacific region is on the increase. DYT’s trademark bright orange semi-submersible ship, Super Servant 3, will arrive in Brisbane on or around January 25, 2011, and Jason Roberts, President of Aurora Global Logistics and DYT’s exclusive commercial agent for Australia says that’s good news for his business and the economy:
“The Australian yacht market is very buoyant at present due to the strong Australian dollar,” said Roberts. “Being market leaders, DYT and Aurora are working hard to service the South Pacific market for yacht transportation in relation to this large influx of yacht movements.”
Super Servant 3, at 139 m in length and operating on a regular schedule to deliver yachts around the world, will look something like a giant moving marina when it comes to town. By sinking its dock bay, it will safely float off its cargo of yachts. Captains, owners and crew will be aboard the vessels during disembarking, ready to take them by their own power on to new adventures. It’s an amazing process,” said Roberts, “and no other shipping company has this ability to deliver boats in such a manner.” Nevertheless, Roberts says DYT often orchestrates lift-on/lift-off arrangements with third-party carriers for clients wanting a more flexible shipping schedule or to explore destinations where the float-on/float-off ships aren’t scheduled to go.
