A transport chain controlled from end to end

Our service starts by qualifying the project. To do so, we listen to our client, then discuss with them to find the best solution in answer to the analysis of the identified need. This covers every stage of the transport chain, according to the type of boat to be carried, its origin, its destination, the lead time, the season, the needs of the client's own client and the constraints at destination (customs, permits, documentation, etc.).

For monohulls, a suitable sea-transport cradle is mandatory. Providing it is the shipper's responsibility.

We propose a loading plan fitted to the circumstances, so as to reach an innovative solution adjusted both to the boats carried and to the cargo ships involved.

Beyond FREIGHTECOM's own presence, a Marine Warranty Surveyor is systematically present at loading.

If, because of its dimensions, you cannot bring your boat yourself, we can organize its pre-routing to the port of departure, either by road as an exceptional transport, or by sea under tow or delivery-skippered.

The same goes for post-routing, from the port of arrival to the final delivery point, within the local constraints at destination.

Depending on the pre-routing solution retained (the yacht reaching the port of departure by road or by sea), handling operations may differ, but FREIGHTECOM coordinates every operation with the selected subcontractors, whatever the case.

We thus control the placement on Mafi or Flat, the chocking and lashing, the lifting or roll-on, and the loading on board the cargo ship, so that in the end we make sure of your boat's integrity.

With the shipowner, and the support of our Marine Warranty Surveyor, we validate the lifting, shoring and chocking plans, and inspect the lifting gear.

Finally, we coordinate the various subcontractors involved as the case may be: divers, welders, shrink-wrapping and fumigation firms, port authorities for access, etc.

If need be, and depending on the incoterm, we do just as much on arrival.

We make sure customs operations run smoothly, on export as well as on import, relying on our partners, who will:

• draw up the documents required to comply with customs regulations.
• provide an advisory service to our clients.

FREIGHTECOM transports boats on boats on the 5 continents!

The cargos used are those of regular shipping lines, container ships or ro-ro ships, or those of charter companies traveling around the world that we partially or totally charter according to our customers' needs.

Any shipment of boats by cargo ship calls for the best coverage, because the value of your boat, both emotional and financial, is important. That is why, in partnership with our dedicated insurance broker, we offer you:

• The best cover in third-party liability and charterer's liability.
• Ad Valorem insurance and its tailor-made handling from one end of the transport to the other, covering ordinary risk as well as war risk, given the deteriorating international context.
• Permanent follow-up and advice in maritime law
• If you entrust us with your boat's insurance, the claim management delegation from our insurers
