Avoid Unforseen Shipping Challenges and Escalating Costs

Often shipping companies will omit/fail to disclose significant details when quoting transportation. Buyer’s un-wittingly may utilize general shipping companies or internet advertisers masquerading as legitimate shippers, that typically have little to no specialization in shipping workboats or worse yet present unrealistically low bids to lure in buyer’s only to disappointment with shipping delays and escalating costs on the back end. Avoid this entrapment and work closely with our workboat shipping expertise to ensure this does not happen to you.

For a shipping quote, you will be required to supply; 

• Total dimensions: Length, Beam and Height from keel to mast head*
• Weight of the vessel in Metric Tons/Light Ship Displacement ** 
• A General Arrangement Drawing of the vessel 
• A few pictures of the vessel, especially on dry dock to view the hull 
• Preferred departure and arrival port 
• A delivery time frame*** 


* It will reduce the transport costs considerably if the mast head can be folded or removed as the quote will usually be for a volume rather than weight. A 22mtrLOA x 6mtr beam with a height of 8mtrs equals a total volume of 1056 cubic meters. If the mast can be removed and the height is reduced to 6.5mtrs, this will save a massive 198 cubic meters.
** Try to ensure that all bunkers on board are at a minimum and do not place any other gear apart from spares for the vessel on board. This will give quicker clearance for Customs.
*** A flexible time frame will allow for a wider range of ships. As the ships are constantly in transit, it is difficult to quote without a time frame and only an estimate can be given without guarantee.
