Multihull Transport By Cargo Ship - Taking A Look At Sevenstar Yacht Transport

Full article in Multihulls World #182: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/transporting-multihulls-by-cargo-ship-focus-on-sevenstar-yacht-transport Cargo transport has grown considerably over the past ten years; the desire to deliver absolutely new multihulls to their owners all over the world has prompted manufacturers to transport their units using shipping. Rental companies are also finding a way, with cargo transport, to quickly move an entire fleet from one base to another. We wanted to know a little more about shipping. Appointment was made at the Commercial Port of La Rochelle - La Pallice last October. When it comes to sky and temperature, the atmosphere is already wintry. But on the quays, activity is not weakening. We are received on the deck of the MV Spuigracht. This imposing Dutch flag freighter measures 564' 3'' (172 m) long and 82' (25.49) wide. It is part of the Sevenstar Yacht Transport fleet. A handful of hours later, the ship will set sail for Palm Beach, Florida. From there, some boats will be transhipped on the deck of another cargo ship, bound for Australia and New Caledonia… For now, Elodie Le Blevenec and Matthieu Le Bihan, managers of Sevenstar Yacht Transport France, are busy on the freighter's deck, overseeing an army of dockers, pilots, divers, technicians and other cargo specialists. The latter will have, as soon as possible, to place and wedge at specific locations around fifteen sailboats (mostly catamarans) and a few motor boats on the cargo deck. A meeting in the heat of the moment and an excellent way to discover the world of shipping, this rapidly developing activity.
