Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT) conquered a new frontier when it delivered a shipment of pleasure yachts to Jebel Ali, Dubai on February 19th, in time for the Dubai International Boat Show, which begins March 11th.

The operation took place aboard the *Lady Gloria*, a ship supplied by BBC Chartering and Logistics, which partnered with DYT last October to expand global shipping options for DYT customers and will now regularly service Dubai and other previously hard-to-reach destinations.

The same loading masters who manage DYT's unique float-on/float-off service for its fleet of four semi-submersible ships managed the lift-on/lift-off service aboard the *Lady Gloria*, one of 140 BBC vessels in operation worldwide.

On its voyage from Port Everglades to Dubai via Genoa,* Lady Gloria* loaded an impressive set of yachts, including a new, 105-foot Mangusta and a unique 30-foot limousine tender from Royal Denship.

DYT President Clemens van der Werf said, 'Dubai will be a regular stop for DYT, which now also services new ports of call in Southampton, UK; Aarhus, Denmark; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Houston, Texas, in an effort to expand cruising options to these exciting international playgrounds.'

Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT), headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., specializes in the maritime transport of private luxury yachts and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dockwise Ltd., the global leader in maritime transports and installation. DYT's ships utilize semi-submersible dock bays that allow yachts of any size to be safely floated on and off as cargo. Since its maiden voyage in 1987, the company has transported over 9,000 motor and sailing yachts to various destinations around the globe, offering owners and charterers safe and easy access to many of the world’s premier cruising grounds. Along with area representatives around the globe, DYT has additional operating offices in Italy, France, Martinique and Newport (RI). A partnership with BBC Chartering and Logistics also allows DYT to manage safe lift-on/lift-off service aboard BBC's fleet of 140 vessels transporting cargo around the globe. The service is for clients who need additional scheduling flexibility or the ability to get to a destination not normally serviced by DYT's semi-submersible ships.
