CASE STUDY

MOTOR BOAT TRANSPORT

Special Cargo Transportation

Project Overview

Motor boat transported from Japan to the Bahamas

Key Points of this Project

  • We provided a shipping service for a motorboat from Japan to the Bahamas.
  • Loading boats that are not self-standing on land onto stable carts is a challenge.
  • The solution was to load them onto carts using custom-ordered frames that took height limitations and stability into consideration.
  • We fine-tuned the boat's anchoring force and loading position on the cart many times over to ensure a safe transportation system.

Project Content

Building a dedicated frame

We placed a special order for a frame in cooperation with the cargo owner so that the boat, which cannot stand on its own, can be stably loaded onto the trailer. Keeping the height as low as possible ensured that the total height would not exceed the height of the cargo hold, yet the boat would remain stable.

Managing to load

We made a thorough check to make sure the cargo stays securely lashed as the boat was to be loaded onto a trailer and then onto a carrier. Fine adjustments were also made to the loading position of the boat on the trailer repeatedly, successfully establishing a safe transportation system.

Non-Self-Propelling Tugboats can also be Transported

A motor boat naturally cannot move by itself on land, and its unstable shape makes it difficult to load. For such challenging cases, we provide flexible support to meet client requirements in transporting items other than vehicles. This often involves assisting in building a dedicated frame with minimal height, conducting research to achieve the optimum position on the trailer for safety.
