HIDDEN EXTRAS, THAT'S WHAT COUNTS!
14/09/07

The Peters & May Group ship in excess of 8000 yachts, motoryachts, superyachts, raceboats, powerboats, as well as international sailing teams around the world each year. The one thing that all these movements have in common is Peters &
May’s unrivalled service, attention to detail and the ‘hidden extras’, which other shipping companies just do not provide.

Moving boats to any destinations around the world requires that they come under the same scrutiny from the unique, team of dedicated Peters & May Loading Superintendents, who have years of experience. These up to date trained superintendents are in attendance to supervise loading and discharge throughout this complex and potentially dangerous process.

When boats are loaded onto the ship by crane from alongside, a diver checks all the strapping prior to lifting, while the boat is still in the water. Once on the deck of the ship, a fully qualified marine surveyor fully checks the boat over and completes a written report, to record the condition of the vessel at the time of loading.

In many cases Peters and May provide onward trucking or sea delivery by professional delivery skipper to a final destination from the port of entry. Peters & May can also prepare the customs documents and handle all the clearance requirements at the country of destination. Many customers also require a comprehensive marine insurance and this can be arranged as they are
FSA registered.

Gerald Price, Operations Director at Peters & May said, “We are critically aware that these days owners want their boats moved to different parts of the world within fairly rigid time frames and we are proud of our reputation of being the leading shipping company to the marine industry.

We provide services to worldwide destinations, and offer a regular weekly service from the States, Caribbean, Europe, Australia, the Baltic, the Med and the Far and Middle East.

Our ‘hidden extras’ programme is designed to give the owner total peace of mind. We even provide regular updates on the exact location of the ship while in transit and its arrival time in port.

Our worldwide network of offices is in place to provide local support on the spot.” With the recent acquisition of Air & Ocean
Shipping, Chicago, Peters & May Ltd is now the largest independent logistics company specialising in yacht shipping.
