• Dockwise Yacht Transport/ BBC Logistics & Chartering
• Yachtpath International
• Sevenstar Yacht Transport
These carriers have the capability of lifting your yacht on board their vessels with
specialized strapping and cranes.
Slings or straps are securely fastened around the yacht. The yacht is checked for
proper weight distribution and is then lifted on board the carrier and secured with a
cradle. The maximum size of a yacht these carriers can take varies but is usually
between 45-55 meters.
11. METHODS OF TRANSPORT
LIFT ON LIFT OFF CARRIERS (CONTINUED)
Height and Weight of the yacht plays a factor in the maximum meters
that can be accepted. Basic information that will be needed to ship your

The yachts can be loaded onto cradles and then loaded onto the flat racks that are
then loaded by crane onto the vessel.
The yacht can then be either “splashed-down”, off loaded directly into the water or
offloaded onto the dock for road transport.

16. CE MARKING
CE MARKING
The CE marking (an acronym for the French "Conformite Europeenne")
certifies that a product has met EU health, safety, and environmental
requirements, which ensure consumer safety. Manufacturers in the
European Union (EU) and abroad must meet CE marking requirements
where applicable in order to market their products in Europe. For a list
of countries that require the CE marking, see: CE Marking Countries. A
manufacturer who has gone through the conformity assessment
process, may affix the CE marking to the product. With the CE marking,
the product may be marketed throughout the EU. CE marking now
provides product access to 27 countries with a population of nearly 500
million.
17. CE MARKING
CE MARKING
Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive list of the products that
require a CE marking. Therefore, it is the manufacturer's responsibility
to determine if a product requires a CE marking. The "New Approach
Directives" are documents that contain the legislation issued by the
European Commission on the requirements that need to be met and
procedures that must be followed in order for a particular product to be
CE marked for sales in the EU.
18. CE MARKING
COUNTRIES THAT REQUIRE CE MARKING
Austria Hungary Poland
Belgium Iceland Portugal
Bulgaria Ireland Romania
Cyprus Italy Slovakia
Czech Republic Latvia Slovenia
Denmark Liechtenstein Spain
Estonia Lithuania Sweden
Finland Luxembourg Switzerland
France Malta Turkey
Germany Netherlands United Kingdom
Greece Norway
19. CE MARKING
