A Bayliner 5788 after being decommissioned & shrink wrapped on its way to the port for a "Land-Load" onto the shippers vessel.

The buyer required the boat to arrive in Puket, Thailand, on a specific date and the only ship available did not have "water-Load" capability. The Bayliner had to be loaded on a local boat transport truck and driven to the port for loading.

Steel cradle bing built on sight at the Port of Los Angeles to accommodate the Bayliner 5788. The cradle was lowered into the hold of the freighter & welded to the steel floor of the hold. The Bayliner 5788 was then lowered onto the cradle & strapped to the cradle.

Depending on the, delivery destination, freighter & shipper, a cradle is provided by the Buyer or by the shipper.

50' Motor Yacht being fitted to a custom steel shipping cradle at The Boat Yard in Marina del Rey, California, in preparation for shipping to Australia.

This is the team of Moger and Moger that built the cradle & delivered it to the Long Beach Terminal after it was adjusted for the 50' Motor Yacht.

OK, so you want me to drive the boat thru the slings without snagging the slings on the propellers - and stop the boat from moving forward without using the propellers?? Yes, that I can do!

Sling marks on the hull were added when the boat was being fitted for the cradle - making for an easy set-up prior to lifting onto the freighter.

The overhead sling rack is in place and ready to lift the motor yacht onto the Russian freighter.

Motor Yacht is being lowered onto the cradle that was secured to the deck of the Russian freighter.

Randall Burg On deck on the Russian freighter over seeing the placement of the boat onto the cradle screw pads. The Motor Yacht was pre-marked for the screw jacks placement during the cradle build process.

Randall Burg checking to see that the motor yacht's keel is centered on the cradles keel support structure. Once the motor yacht was correctly position on the keel pad the port, starboard and the stern center screw pads were adjusted to support the boat. The cradle was built to support the full weight of the boat on the keel support structure - screw pads keep the boat in position!
