DYT expands Dubai routes

Florida-based Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT) has announced a cooperative partnership with Leer, Germany-based BBC Chartering & Logistic, to expand global shipping options for its private luxury yacht clients. The strategic alliance allows DYT to continue offering its unique float-on/float-off yacht transport service with its own fleet of four semi-submersible ships while adding an alternative lift-on/lift-off service option through BBC, which operates more than 140 vessels worldwide.

While DYT has forged a reputation through its trans-ocean float-on/float-off fleet, said DYT President Clemens van der Werf, "The reality, however, is that there will always be clients who need additional scheduling flexibility or the ability to get to a destination we do not service directly. They have come to trust DYT's expertise and depend on our standards for safety and attention to details. BBC is a powerhouse in global shipping; while it provides the tonnage, DYT will manage their operations for the yacht transport business, offering our clients extra sailings and more flexibility."

"While yachts are similar to other heavy-lift cargo with respect to the necessary lifting gear, they also require a greater sensitivity with respect to the lift and stowage," said Svend Andersen, BBC's Managing Director. "BBC has the specialized vessels and equipment, while DYT has the extended knowledge base for managing precious cargo."

Among the new regular routes served by BBC will be regular connections from the Caribbean to Northern Europe, Florida to Brazil, and to Dubai.
