Transport boat from Asia to Europe

Interested to hear from any one attempting to transport their boat from Asia back to Europe in the brave new Covid world.

Feel free to PM if appropriate

Re: Transport boat from Asia to Europe

Here's a recent blog on transporting from Penang, Malaysia to Europe (select english, if your mother tongue is not Swedish). Sevenstar recently picked up in Thailand and Penang again.

Thanks. Sailings have been few and far between in recent times.

Yep, there were. A number of cancelations or continual rescheduling last year. We had friends ship from Penang and from Singapore. The Singapore pickup ended in a lot of damage to two boats.

Re: Transport boat from Asia to Europe

FWIW, we shipped from Phuket to Marmaris, Turkey about 9 years ago. Aside from the late arrival of the 7-Star Freighter into Phuket, it was orderly and pretty much a non-event! Although the freighter was late arriving, the local rep kept us all regularly appraised of the latest schedule. We were so impressed with their service, we used them again from Genoa to St Thomas, USVI some years later. They (7 Star) treated us and our boat well-no complaints. If they're still sailing that route, I have no issue recommending them.

Thanks for info. Problem is here and now in Covid world. Delayed / cancelled sailings. Owners not being able to get to boats or pickup points.

That is before factoring in collecting the boat at the other end.

Re: Transport boat from Asia to Europe

Sorry for bumping in this topic, how much such a transport would cost?
I've heard it is around the ballpark of $1,000 per feet.
