When the boat came in - Wavecrest brings the Lily Chan home

This week, Wavecrest Ltd has helped to bring the 9 metre long sea going sports fishing boat “Lily Chan” home from the Canary Islands.

The boat was shipped from Tenerife to Felixstowe stowed on a 40′ flat rack container. A steel shipping cradle had been built to ensure the “Lily Chan” was kept safely upright and as an extra measure, to prevent movement during the week long voyage , the cradle was welded to the flat rack container.

Once the boat arrived at Felixstowe, Wavecrest Ltd arranged for it to be customs cleared and then the flat rack container was moved to a depot for unpacking.

Before the “Lily Chan” could be carefully lifted from the container and transferred to a waiting specialised boat trailer for the final leg of her journey, labour had to be organised to cut the welded shipping cradle away.

Once safely loaded onto the trailer, the “Lily Chan” was transported to her new home in Hampshire and reunited with her happy owner.

Wavecrest Ltd has been transporting boats around the world for many years and would be pleased to quote for any requirements you may have. We can be contacted on Tel: 0870 720 1130, e-mail: glen@wavecrest.co.uk
