Boats and Yachts
Sailing on board a Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics vessel is an unusual mode of transport for most yachts, sailing
and trailer boats. However, these boats and yachts will, most likely, never experience a smoother journey.
Most often, smaller boats and yachts arrive at the port of loading on their own trailers and are carefully towed on
board. In cases where larger boats and yachts reach the port in cradles, we load both the cradle and its cargo onto a
roll trailer for stowage on board or use crane for stowage on the weather deck. At the port of discharge, we can also
lift or deliver boats and yachts directly into the water using a floating crane, a mobile crane or a port crane.
Below deck stowage
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics RoRo vessels can accommodate boats and yachts including cradle as tall as 5.25 m (17 ft, 6 in) below deck. This measurement takes into consideration the height of a standard roll trailer and a clearance of 20 cm (8 in) between the top of the cargo and the deck above, which is required for safe operations. Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics secures cradles to roll trailers by using lashing chains, and then secures the trailers with its cargo to the deck of the vessel. When transporting a boat or yacht on its own trailer, the height of the trailer and the roof clearance must be taken into consideration.
