Swire Projects has completed delivery of the YC Bora, a 53 m-long fast support and intervention vessel, to Sharjah, UAE. The shipment was conducted in partnership with yacht transportation and logistics solutions provider Peters & May.
Peters & May needed for a vessel capable of handling the 275-tonne boat at Walvis Bay, Namibia. Swire Projects was able to offer one of its versatile I-type vessels, Pacific Integrity.
Namir Khanbabi, general manager of Swire Projects, commented: “The loading of the 275- tonne vessel required careful planning and execution given its substantial size and weight. To ensure the cargo’s stability during transit, a custom transport solution comprising of tailored lifting, cradling, and lashing techniques was implemented.”

Leveraging Swire Projects’ exceptional heavy lift capabilities allowed us to meet our client’s requirements with precision and care.”
