Every industry is feeling the impacts of global supply chain disruption and the yacht industry is no exception. With order streams full and reliance on a just-in-time delivery model, optimisation is a must to maintain sales.
Are you looking to improve inbound materials for building new yachts? Maybe you need to transport finished boats worldwide or find a more efficient way to provide after-sales spare parts to customers. Whatever the challenge, a dedicated yacht logistics team brings comprehensive solutions that have full geographical coverage.
With our combination of industry knowledge and a broad global network, you gain access to customised and secure solutions around the world. We offer supply chain services to yacht manufacturers that include inbound from suppliers to the yards, warehousing and consolidation.
