Project Challenges
The main challenge was transporting the 60 ft. sailboat which could not be lifted and required a water-to-water transfer method to maintain its integrity.
Coordinating the simultaneous transportation of two large vessels on a single semi-submersible ship.
Execution
Orion Global Projects utilized a specialized semi-submersible vessel capable of safely loading and transporting the yachts while they remained in the water, thereby addressing the unique requirement for the sailboat.
Comprehensive planning and precise navigation were required to ensure both yachts were securely fastened and balanced for the transatlantic journey.
