Sevenstar Yacht Transport in the Netherlands has commissioned a Chinese shipyard for the build of a third semi-submersible vessel.
In light of the changing market in float-on, float-off superyacht transport, Sevenstar – under the name DYT Yacht Transport – has made plans to expand its fleet of semi-submersible vessels currently comprising the Yacht Express and the Super Servant 4.
“With new markets opening up the recent years and the increase in size of the yachts, the demand for a different superyacht carrier is there,” says the company in a statement.
The new float-on, float-off yacht transportation vessel will be able to transport the largest of yachts with a limit of 140m LOA. DYT Yacht Transport is part of the Spliethoff Group with a fleet of over 100 vessels. In the last year alone, Spliethoff Group added eight vessels to its fleet.
Sevenstar Yacht Transport is a leading provider of yacht shipping services, with a global network of destinations and a fleet of over 120 independent carriers. The company is headquartered in the Netherlands.
