Maritime Partners, LLC, through its managed funds, has agreed to acquire M/G Transport Holdings LLC, from Auxo Investment Partners LLC and its affiliates. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and completion of the acquisition is expected in the third quarter of 2022 subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.

Founded in 1968, M/G is a provider of marine transportation services along the West Canal and Lower Mississippi River. Through its fleet of approximately 300 dry cargo barges, the company specializes in the movement of petroleum coke, sugar and minerals. The company will continue to operate under the M/G brand and as a standalone entity, and the members of the management team will continue in their current roles.

"We congratulate Maritime Partners on the successful completion of this acquisition. I am excited by the additional resources that Maritime Partners brings to M/G, and the ability to elevate the already high level of service and great value M/G delivers to its customers," said Greg Binion, Executive Chairman of M/G.

"We are thrilled to complete the acquisition of M/G. M/G is a natural complement to our platform given the contractual nature of M/G's business. The M/G fleet further diversifies the vessel capacity solutions we are able to offer the Jones Act community," said Bick Brooks, co-founder and CEO of Maritime Partners.

Austin Sperry, co-founder and COO of Maritime Partners, noted "Long-term relationships are critical for success in the domestic maritime industry. We are excited to support M/G's success by continuing to foster strong relationships with M/G's customer base over the long-term."

Reed Smith LLP is serving as legal counsel to Maritime Partners. RBC Capital Markets, LLC is serving as exclusive financial advisor to M/G. Miller Johnson LLP, Barnes & Thornburg LLP, and Winston & Strawn LLP are serving as M/G's legal advisors.

The Dockwalk Guide to Yacht Transport

Louisa Beckett is the former editor of Motor Boating, ShowBoats International, and Southern Boating magazines, and a longtime contributor to Dockwalk. Over her career, she has written about a wide variety of vessels ranging from Sea-Doos to superyachts, and has had many adventures on the water, including riding in a U.S. Coast Guard “rollover” boat in heavy surf off Cape Disappointment, Washington.

Even now, in the third year of the pandemic, we’re seeing headlines about global supply chain disruptions caused by worker shortages and other factors related to COVID-19. In particular, the maritime shipping industry has been affected, with long lines of cargo ships frequently sitting idle as they wait to be unloaded in port.

“It’s a very difficult marketplace at the moment. The freight rates are higher than they’ve been in decades. Congestion in ports is at an all-time high, all these things are affecting our ability to get ships where they need to be on time, and space on ships is at a massive premium,” says Simon Judson, CEO of global logistics firm Peters & May , which organizes passage for yachts on board a wide variety of commercial cargo ships.

• How COVID Has Affected Crew Hiring

Right from the start, the pandemic dramatically transformed the yacht transportation industry. In early 2020, the number of bookings by the usual clients, including owners and captains wanting to move their yachts to seasonal cruising grounds and sailing yacht owners and captains following the regatta circuit, fell off dramatically. At the same time, bookings increased from yacht owners who were unable to travel to their vessels and wanted to have them shipped home instead. Then, as COVID-related lockdowns and sheltering began to fuel the demand for new and brokerage boats, yacht manufacturers, dealers, and brokers around the world began to use yacht transport companies to ship boats to clients who couldn’t get to the vessels or send crew to pick them up. “I think COVID has changed everybody’s way of doing business,” says General Manager Laura Tempest of DYT , which owns and operates semi-submersible yacht-transport ships.

Port closures and travel restrictions also made it difficult for yacht transport companies to move their loadmasters into position around the world in order to supervise loading and unloading. In addition, “We have had a shortage of loadmasters at times when they came down with COVID,” said Uta Scarlata, who handles transatlantic and Caribbean sales for Sevenstar Yacht Transport , which operates its own fleet of 120 cargo vessels.

“Everything about the logistics of shipping a yacht from A to B is ten times harder,” Judson says, but he adds, “As we moved through the pandemic, we learned a little bit about how to adapt. Today we are using what we’ve learned to be better placed. That means making sure we’ve got the right people in the right places a lot further in advance [and] thinking about relocating our cradling and lifting equipment and everything we need to load the boats a lot further in advance.”

While internal logistics such as these typically are handled by a yacht transportation company behind the scenes without affecting its clients, industry experts agree that this year, yacht captains are going to have to act earlier than usual in order to secure transportation for their yachts.

If you do need to ship a yacht overseas, there are two basic means of transport: on the deck of a commercial ship or inside a semi-submersible vessel.

“It’s kind of going back to old days when if you didn’t book well in advance, you are not going to have a space…. People are done [with sheltering]. They are going to start using their yachts whether it be in the Med or in the Caribbean,” says Tempest. “We are seeing all of our repeat customers coming back, and the ones we met in the last year and a half that we didn’t know before are coming back.”

“Every ship that we’ve put on from the middle of last year has been fully booked probably a month before it comes to port. That was never the case before. We would always have some space a week before,” says Judson, who also predicts that demand for yacht transportation will increase in 2022 as owners return to pre-pandemic levels of cruising and racing. “If there’s a reason to book early, it would be to avoid disappointment in the fact that there may not be space,” he says. “To be safe, you should be thinking at least two months out.”

Cargo Ship vs. Semi-Submersible

There are a variety of reasons why an owner or captain would want to arrange to have a yacht transported from one location to another. It might be to change cruising grounds with the seasons, or to take the yacht to an event. Some yachts are able to make the voyage on their own bottom, but others must be shipped because they may be too small or have an insufficient fuel capacity to make the trip, their owner wants to avoid wear and tear on the vessel, or the yacht is booked for a charter in the new destination and the timing is just too tight.

Booking space on a cargo ship gives you the advantage of being able to transport a yacht pretty much anywhere around the globe where that vessel is scheduled to deliver freight.

If you do need to ship a yacht overseas, there are two basic means of transport: on the deck of a commercial ship or inside a semi-submersible vessel. Which method to pick depends on a variety of considerations, including the location where you want to ship the yacht, the flexibility of your schedule, whether or not you want to use the transit time to get work done on board, and the price.

In the most common scenario, the yacht is lifted by crane onto a commercial ship and secured in a custom-built cradle on its deck, where it shares space with other cargo for the duration of the passage. Since cargo ships typically make multiple stops and can experience delays in loading and unloading cargo, it’s important to have a flexible schedule. “Shipping is not an exact science. You can’t expect to ship on a certain day and unload on a certain day. You have to give yourself flexibility,” Judson says.

On the other hand, booking space on a cargo ship gives you the advantage of being able to transport a yacht pretty much anywhere around the globe where that vessel is scheduled to deliver freight.

The other yacht-transport method, pioneered by Dockwise Yacht Transport (now DYT) in the 1980s, is “float on/float off.” DYT’s semi-submersible ships are partially submerged in the water; the yacht floats into it and is secured in a cradle on the deck by divers. Then, the water is drained from the hold. At the end of the voyage, the process is reversed and the yacht floats out.

“When the world woke up with a bang, the amount of consumer goods to be shipped outweighed the space available to ship them. That will take some time to stabilize,” he says.

DYT offers a limited number of routes designed to match typical yacht-shipping patterns, such as from the Mediterranean to Fort Lauderdale and the Caribbean and back. “What I think sets us apart from anyone else is that we have a set schedule — there is no deviation; there is no change. That is why charter yachts depend on us,” Tempest says.

When clients want to ship their yachts off the beaten path, DYT will refer them to its sister company, Sevenstar Yacht Transport, for bookings on board its cargo ships.

DYT recently launched a third ship, Yacht Servant , which was built in China and is scheduled to start transporting yachts in May. For a short window in 2022, DYT will have three semi-submersible vessels in operation, which should help to meet the rising demand for yacht transportation.

Riding Along

Before the pandemic, captains typically could send one or two crewmembers along with the yacht during either type of transportation, enabling them to use the passage as a mini yard period to get a variety of jobs done on board.

While most cargo ships do not permit riders to sleep in their yachts while in transit, before the pandemic, they often would assign them cabins in the ship and let them eat in the mess hall and recreate with the ship’s crew. However, when COVID-19 hit, most ship operators suspended this courtesy in order to reduce the risk of the disease spreading on board, which could lead to serious delays if the ship was forced to quarantine before unloading in a port.

“When things calm down, we will accept riders again,” Scarlata says. On DYT, “We still allow riders as it’s such a crucial part of the service that we offer,” Tempest says. In fact, the semi-submersible ships provide power to the yachts so that riders can sleep and work on board. At the height of the pandemic, however, the company limited the riders’ interaction with the ship’s crew. “They needed to provision their yacht for the duration of the voyage. They had to stay in the yacht and on the deck of the ship; they could not go into the ship’s superstructure.”

• 5 Things You Need to Know About Health Insurance During the Pandemic

One thing that has not changed in the yacht transportation industry is the need for owners and captains to ensure their vessel is properly insured for the passage. “Some people get caught out on this. They think their hull and machinery insurance will automatically cover them. They need to take out a separate marine cargo insurance policy,” Judson says.

Both Sevenstar and DYT include an all-risk insurance policy in the rate they quote for yacht transport. “Usually, one of the questions we get is, ‘Can we leave it out?’ It’s not optional,” Tempest says. “It covers everyone on board and eliminates the need for multiple underwriters.”

Price Increases

Captains booking transport for their yachts today are finding that insurance rates have gone up. “The whole insurance market has hardened over the last couple of years,” Judson says.

As for shipping, no matter what method you choose, you are bound to see a COVID-related price increase. “DYT rates have increased over the past six months. Many factors have attributed to this but certainly a large portion is a consequence of the global pandemic,” Tempest says.

“In the last ten years, freight rates have been very low…. Now the market has flipped a little bit,” Judson says. While there are a number of reasons behind this, the main one is the reduced amount of cargo space currently available.

As for shipping, no matter what method you choose, you are bound to see a COVID-related price increase. 

In early 2022, Judson reported that his company had seen rates for shipping yachts between the U.S. and the Caribbean go up 15 to 20 percent; transatlantic shipping rates had increased a 60 to 80 percent, and rates to and from the Far East had gone up 200 to as high as 300 percent. “Coming out of Asia, every ship is full to the gunwales and if you want some space, you have to pay through the nose for it,” he says.

“There are not as many people who are prepared to pay the increased freight rates we are seeing at the moment. There are a lot of people who are holding back…,” Judson continues. “Not everyone who ships a yacht is a multi-millionaire. We’ve got lots of clients who are dealers, brokers, and manufacturers who are moving their boats where they need to be to be sold as new boats…. I think the people and companies who are shipping their boats now are the ones who have more of a commercial need.”

The Complete Guide to Yacht Transportation: Moving Your Vessel with Care

Discover the insider’s guide to yacht transportation. Uncover the secrets to moving your vessel with care, saving time and money with Compare The Carrier.

Delving into the complexities of yacht transportation can seem like an insurmountable challenge, particularly if it’s your maiden voyage into this realm.

But worry not, for this comprehensive guide aims to demystify the process, allowing you to transport your vessel safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Understanding the Importance of Proper Yacht Transportation

As a yacht owner, you are no stranger to the investment, both emotional and financial, that you’ve made in your vessel. It isn’t merely an asset but a representation of a lifestyle, passion, and often, a significant achievement. Hence, when it comes to moving your yacht, a proper yacht transportation service becomes critical.

Firstly, it’s about safety. Yachts are complex, expensive structures that require specialist handling. Incorrect or careless handling during transportation can lead to damage, sometimes severe, that could render your yacht unusable or depreciate its value. The safety of your yacht during transit is a top priority that can’t be compromised. Thus, entrusting this task to professional yacht carriers who understand the nuances and apply the utmost care is essential.

Secondly, professional yacht transportation alleviates the stress and burden off your shoulders. Moving a yacht involves several factors, such as securing the necessary permits, planning the best route, considering the weather conditions, and more. A proficient vehicle transport service provider will take care of these aspects, allowing you to focus on other important matters.

Finally, proper yacht transportation helps maintain the condition and value of your vessel. It ensures that your yacht arrives at the destination in the same pristine condition as it left, without any unnecessary wear and tear or mileage, thus helping preserve its resale value. That’s where Compare The Carrier steps in, offering a platform to compare boat transport services from reliable, licensed, and professional carriers. With Compare The Carrier , you can rest assured that your yacht transportation will be handled with the utmost care and professionalism, giving you peace of mind.

When it comes to effectively transporting your yacht, there’s more to it than meets the eye. From the initial preparation to choosing the right carrier and ensuring the right insurance coverage, every detail counts. Check out this video to gain a deeper understanding of each step of the process.

Unpacking the Costs of Yacht Transportation

When it comes to yacht transportation, understanding the cost is vital. However, the price is not a one-size-fits-all matter as it is influenced by various factors. Let’s break them down to help you anticipate what to expect.

It’s important to remember that the cheapest service may not always be the best. Choosing a professional yacht carrier based on their reputation, reliability, and the services they provide is vital to ensuring the safety of your vessel during transit.

Common Mistakes in Yacht Transportation and How to Avoid Them

The process of moving your yacht may seem daunting and is often laden with potential pitfalls. Let’s highlight some of the common mistakes yacht owners make during transportation and how to avoid them.

Choosing the Cheapest Quote

It might be tempting to opt for the cheapest yacht transportation quote. However, remember that lower cost can sometimes equate to lower quality service. The key is to balance cost with the reputation and reliability of the carrier.

Avoidance Tip: Utilize Compare The Carrier to review multiple quotes, comparing not just prices, but also the services, credibility, and reviews of each carrier.

Insufficient Preparation

Neglecting proper preparation of your yacht for transportation can lead to damage during transit.

Avoidance Tip: Refer back to our step-by-step guide to prepare your yacht effectively. Consulting with your chosen professional carrier can also be beneficial.

Ignoring Insurance

Overlooking the importance of having adequate insurance coverage during transportation is a common, yet potentially costly, mistake.

Avoidance Tip: Ensure your existing insurance covers yacht transportation. If not, discuss with your carrier about purchasing additional coverage.

Providing Inaccurate Yacht Specifications

Incorrectly stating your yacht’s dimensions can result in the use of inadequate equipment or transportation methods, leading to possible damage or increased cost.

Avoidance Tip: Double-check and provide accurate specifications of your yacht to your carrier.

Last-Minute Booking

Booking yacht transportation at the last minute might result in higher costs and fewer carrier options.

Avoidance Tip: Plan your yacht transportation well in advance. This allows you time to evaluate multiple options and lock in the best deal.

Avoiding these common mistakes can significantly improve your yacht transportation experience, ensuring a smooth, efficient process that safeguards your valuable vessel. As a yacht owner, your vessel is likely more than just an asset; it’s a passion and a lifestyle. So, take these precautions seriously, and you’ll be well on your way to a successful yacht transportation, ready for many more voyages ahead.

Navigating through yacht transportation may seem complex, but understanding its significance, adequate preparation, realistic cost expectations, and avoiding common mistakes can make it a smooth sail. In this journey, Compare The Carrier stands as a reliable partner, helping you select professional carriers and the best quotes for your specific needs. Embark on your yacht transportation journey with confidence and peace of mind, knowing that you’re well-prepared and well-supported. Happy sailing!

How is the yacht loaded onto the carrier?

The method depends on the size of the yacht and the carrier’s capabilities. Smaller yachts can be loaded using a trailer with a hydraulic lift. Larger yachts may require a crane or a marina lift.

Can the yacht be transported with the mast up?

For safety and ease of transportation, it’s generally recommended to unstep the mast for the duration of the transport. However, depending on the carrier’s equipment and your yacht’s size, it may be possible to transport with the mast up.

What are my options if my yacht is too large for road transport?

If your yacht is too large for road transport, you can explore options like sea or air freight. Lift-on/lift-off and float-on/float-off are common methods for sea transport.

How do I check the carrier’s license and insurance?

You can verify the carrier’s license and insurance information through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This ensures you’re dealing with a legitimate, insured carrier.

What should I do if the delivery location doesn’t have a marina or suitable unloading area?

Discuss the delivery location with your carrier. They may be able to suggest alternatives or offer a solution, such as transporting the yacht to the nearest marina or suitable unloading point.

Do I need to winterize my yacht for transport in cold weather?

Yes, if your yacht will be transported in freezing temperatures, it’s recommended to winterize it to protect the engine and other systems from freezing damage.

E32: MG High-Voltage Battery Bank on a Cutting-Edge 32ft Composite Electric Motor Boat

Tour boat ‘Jeroen Krabbé’ is a beautiful example of emission-free cruising

Electric Hybrid Marine – USA

METSTRADE 2023

‘De Vooruitgang’: An Energy Neutral Conference Ship

Interview in Silent Yachts Edition 7

City Tugs Launch: Pioneering the Future of Urban Waterway Transport

In the ever-evolving world of yachting, staying at the forefront of technology and sustainability is leading. The E32, a 32ft composite Electric Motor Boat, originally crafted by JR Yachts in the Netherlands, is a testament to this commitment. A state-of-the-art motor yacht, the E32 recently underwent a comprehensive refit, and a central focus of this overhaul was its high-voltage lithium-ion battery bank. This modernization brings together an impressive array of components, turning the E32 into an eco-conscious marvel of engineering.

The Heart of the E32: The Yasa 750R Axial Flux Electric Motor

At the core of this electric revamp lies the powerful Yasa 750R Axial Flux electric motor. Capable of producing an impressive 200kW at its peak and maintaining a constant 70kW of nominal power, it’s no exaggeration to say that this motor propels the E32 to new heights. Engineered with efficiency and performance in mind, it sets the stage for a quiet, vibration-free, and eco-friendly journey on the water.

The oil-cooled system keeps the motor running at its optimum temperature, ensuring reliable performance, even in the face of demanding conditions. 

A Glimpse into the Power Source: MG Lithium-Ion Battery Bank

The heart of the E32’s electric propulsion system is its MG lithium-ion battery bank. Comprising a high-voltage system, the battery bank consists of a Master HV controller and 14 pieces LFP 230 lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) connected in series, with a total capacity of 81.2 kWh. This high voltage battery bank operates on a 358 Vdc nominal voltage and provides direct power to the Yasa Electric Motor without any conversion losses. 

What sets the E32 apart is not just the size of its high-voltage battery bank but the superior quality of its components. The lithium-ion batteries are the sustainable energy source of consistent and reliable power, giving you the peace of mind needed for your journey on the water.

Charging the Future: The Brusa 22kW Charger

Charging the MG battery bank is a breeze with the Brusa 22kW charger, which is compatible with CCS type 2 charger mode 2 NLG664. This high-speed charger ensures that the E32 is ready for your next voyage in no time. Just like the yacht’s electric motor and battery system, the Brusa charger is a model of efficiency and convenience, supporting a seamless transition to electric boating.

The Brains Behind the Brawn: Sevcon Gen4 Size8 Motor Controller

The E32’s electric motor is only as good as the controller managing it, and in this case, it’s the Sevcon Gen4 Size 8. This motor controller is a master at ensuring the precise distribution of power to the Yasa electric motor. It makes the yacht’s acceleration and deceleration smooth and responsive, providing an unmatched level of control over your boating experience.

With its liquid-cooled system, the Sevcon motor controller guarantees stability and longevity, making it an essential part of the E32’s electrifying journey.

The experience of the E32 Electric Motor Boat on the Frisan Lakes

The E32 electric motor boat is an innovative and eco-friendly boat designed specifically for electric propulsion. With a hull optimized for electric power, this vessel offers a sustainable and efficient way to enjoy the serene beauty of the Frisian Lakes. Some key features and specifications of this electric motor yacht:

Hull Design :

The E32 boasts a specially designed hull that is perfectly suited for electric propulsion. This design not only ensures excellent performance but also maximizes energy efficiency.

The boat has a relatively lightweight structure, with a total weight of only 1500 kilograms. This reduced weight contributes to its overall efficiency and ease of handling.

Cruising Speed :

The E32 has a comfortable cruising speed of around 7 knots. This speed is ideal for leisurely exploration of the Frisian Lakes while minimizing energy consumption.

Power Source :

The boat is equipped with a Yasa electric motor, which, combined with the impressive 81.2 kWh MG battery bank, ensures a reliable and consistent power source for propulsion.

Thanks to the large battery capacity, this motor yacht offers an impressive range of up to 3-4 days on a single charge at cruising speed. This allows for extended trips on the beautiful Frisian Lakes without worrying about recharging.

High Speed :

When you need to kick things up a notch, the E32 Motoryacht can reach a top speed of approximately 16 knots. To achieve this, the boat requires a relatively modest power output of around 75 kW, which is efficiently delivered by the electric motor.

The E32 electric motor boat represents a modern and sustainable approach to boating, combining stylish design with environmentally friendly electric propulsion. It offers a range of speeds to suit various preferences and allows you to enjoy the tranquility of the Frisian Lakes without the noise and pollution associated with traditional combustion engines. This motor yacht is a testament to the evolving world of electric boating and the preservation of pristine natural environments like the Frisian Lakes.

Online MG Energy Portal

Use the online MG Energy Portal platform for monitoring and managing the high-voltage battery bank and the hotel load. The MG Energy Portal provides the option for Individual Cell Monitoring: This is a crucial feature, especially in high-voltage battery systems. Monitoring individual cells within the battery bank allows you to assess the health and performance of each cell. This can help in early detection of issues like cell degradation or imbalance, which can impact the overall performance and longevity of the battery system.

Overall, the MG Energy Portal provides a comprehensive platform for monitoring and managing energy-related systems. Such tools are invaluable in ensuring the efficient operation of energy systems, optimizing energy usage, and identifying and addressing any issues promptly.
