TIPS TO PREPARE BOAT AND YACHT TO BE SHIPPED FROM DUBAI

There are a few things you need to take care of the safe and secure transportation of your favorite yacht. It is an essential step as it helps you avoid any later confrontations or doubts regarding the handling and ensure the safe journey of shipping your boat overseas.

  • Make sure you check the boat thoroughly – for any previous damage or scratch. Keep the doors latched and seal any openings with tape. Lock all interior and exterior doors.
  • Share the yacht/boat specifications with us in advance to save space for your yacht without any delay.
  • Check the boat for any irregularities or paint scratch. Thoroughly examine and document with pictures of any already existing conditions.
  • Confirm you have not left any valuable personal items inside the cabinet. Your yacht is shipped on a carrier vessel – make sure you remove all your belongings from it.
  • Try to hand over the boat in the lightest way possible – without any fuel, closets flushed, no water anywhere inside to drain, anchors removed, and so on.
  • Switch off all the power connections and batteries inside.
  • Protect it with any covers available.
  • Make adequate requirements associated with weather forecasts.
  • In the case of wooden boats, linseed oil is the best remedy for wood drying up.

DEDICATED BOAT AND YACHT SHIPPING SERVICES LIFT-ON AND LIFT OFF BOAT SHIPPING

LOLO, especially suited for large yachts and boat vessels, is operated by a crane to handle RORO mode operations’ height constraints. The large cargo can be easily transported with LOLO mode shipping. Experts advise LOLO for winter season shipping with shrink wrapping to give the item safe and secure travel. With the shrink wrapping technique, the film’s heat can catalyze it tightly around the yacht or boat, making it less exposed to the harsh weather.

ROLL-ON AND ROLL-OFF BOAT SHIPPING

True to the name, the RORO boat shipping implements the boat rolled onto the ship’s deck, and at the destination, the same is rolled out. There is a particular requirement to meet in this type of boat shifting – the height of the boat should not exceed the limit of 4 meters, including any antennas. The RORO works just like a multi-level parking system. The shipping cargo looks wholly closed, and the yacht you plan to ship will not be exposed to the outside weather, which is a highlighted feature of RORO over the previously mentioned LOLO.

Auk Movers use this engineering marvel to carry exceptionally heavy and large loads to various parts of the world from Dubai.

Years of experience have contributed to transforming Auk Movers into one of the leading boat shipping companies in Dubai.
