Dubai based and GPLN member Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) has a tricky transfer of a yacht (36.5 x 7.8 x 9.5 Meters, weight 150MT) from Jebel Ali, in the United Arab Emirates to Aqaba, Jordan.

“The yacht had to be lifted from the water,” said Usman Ahmed, ISS Project Supervisor, “But the most difficult part was the COG / lifting points of the yacht were not available.  It took long time to finalize the COG using two cranes with the help of divers.  Finally, upon safe lifting we moved the yacht to the berth and moved the nominated vessel fwd and loaded the yacht safely.”
