No matter what size or shape your boat is, it can be shipped securely and efficiently using any of the following three methods:<\/p>\n
By Container<\/strong><\/p>\n If your boat fits into the dimensions of a 20ft or 40ft container (this could be an open-top container), it can be shipped this way. With custom or ready-made shipping cradles, combined with strap and support systems your boat can arrive safe and damage free in a container, to its destination.<\/p>\n By Flat Rack Container<\/strong><\/p>\n A flat-rack is a steel base upon which cargo is placed. It has similar length and width dimensions of a container. Flat-racks have standardised locking mechanisms (twistlocks) in the corners of their structure which enable the units to be secured into existing points on a ship or on top of a standard container stack.<\/p>\n Flat racks are designed to transport larger boats, like the one pictured in a recent project for Clarke Global Logistics. The boat was bought in Adelaide by a client, and needed to be shipped to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. It was secured to a specially built cradle and fixed to the bottom of the flat rack container. Rubber matting and webbing straps were used to protect and secure the boat. Oversize breakbulk cargo that is suitable for handling with a flat-rack is referred to as \u2018out of gauge\u2019 cargo.<\/p>\n
