FAQs

At Peters & May, we know logistics can be complex. Our FAQ covers everything from yacht shipping and customs clearance to handling dangerous goods and worldwide freight forwarding. If your question isn’t listed here, please get in touch with our team directly.

How long is the yacht loading window?

With all loadings, we give a 15-day window for shipment in which your yacht must be available. The reason for this is based on the consolidation of yachts wanting to ship from A to B during the same period. Through economies of scale we can ensure we offer customers the best rate for shipping if consolidation is an option. Secondly, until all bookings are finalised the vessel cannot be nominated. Vessel schedules can vary, requiring flexibility in loading date.

Why would a business use bonded warehousing?

Bonded warehousing can help businesses improve cash flow, manage inventory more efficiently and store goods closer to their customers before releasing them for distribution.
