T&T: Shipping my boat from Asia to North America

[Ed Bruette]

Gordon,

I just got this photo from my broker.  He says it happened in Calif.
Somewhere.  A forward sling or wire broke when off loading from a ship.
This is not intended to scare you away from shipping your boat, it's just
that accidents do happen.  :-{

Subject: T&T: Shipping my boat from Asia to North America

Has anyone out there shipped a yacht from Asia to a port in North America
and if you have do you have any recommendations/comments or thoughts.

 

I had booked and paid to have my vessel transported by Dockwise but they
recently informed me that they were delaying the voyage until February 2008,
without giving me a very complete explanation.  Apparently the sea trials of
their new boat did not go very well.

 

I have a very good quote from a firm named Yacht Path International.  Does
anyone know anything about them?

 

Gordon
