Company

Middle East-based Cigisped specializes in the worldwide transport of yachts and mega-yachts, be it liner service or charter operations. They carried a variety of vessels, in geared vessels as well as in roll-on/roll-off ships, float-on/float-off barges and container vessels in a variety of sizes.

Liner services operate on regular schedules along established routes, offering clients flexibility and the ability to plan. For example, Cigisped's popular route from Northern Europe to the Far East via the Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula is a liner service. Charter services, on the other hand, are non-regular and arranged based on sufficient demand, allowing for customized routes and schedules.

The RoRo method is particularly suitable for boats on trailers. The yacht is pulled from the pier and loaded onto the ship via a ramp, minimizing handling and reducing costs. However, there is a height restriction, typically with a maximum ramp clearance of 5 meters, which may limit the size of yachts that can be transported using this method.

Float-on/float-off barges are ideal for bigger boats since they are semi-submersible. Because their decks lie below the waterline, yachts may be floated into place without the need for cranes. Once the water is emptied, divers anchor the yachts. This method is primarily used for transatlantic and Pacific routes.

Yes, Cigisped Middle East offers a comprehensive range of services, including transport insurance, yacht cradle rental, customs clearance at import and export, supervision during loading and unloading, survey reports, and local road transport within the GCC. These services ensure a seamless and secure yacht transportation experience.
