Commercial Marine Transport (CMT) successfully orchestrated the global transport of three advanced 12000TD Griffon Hovercrafts, including the well-regarded “Baien.” The operation extended from Southampton, UK, to Oita, Japan, covering a journey of 5,700 miles. This project demonstrated CMT’s expertise in handling sophisticated maritime assets, ensuring their safe and secure arrival at the destination.
Each hovercraft was meticulously prepared for the long voyage, with CMT implementing customised cradling and securing methods to safeguard the vessels against the rigours of transoceanic shipping. The precision in planning and execution was critical, given the hovercrafts’ complex requirements and the need to maintain their operational integrity throughout the transit.
The successful delivery of these hovercrafts not only highlights CMT’s ability to manage logistically challenging projects but also underscores its commitment to providing tailored transport solutions that meet the specific needs of high-value assets. This operation serves as a testament to CMT’s innovative approach and strategic capabilities in the global logistics arena, reinforcing its role in supporting and advancing maritime transport solutions.
