Spectacular loading of three brand new Galeon Yachts in Gdansk on-board of Statengracht - all bound to meet their new owners in the United States. The extremely efficient operation was carried out by Sevenstar Yacht Transport from the Spliethoff Group.

As Anna Drozd, spokesperson for the Port of Gdansk said: "The loading was supervised by specialized group of divers who hooked the yachts from below ensuring that they were properly balanced and that they could be safely lifted by a crane on board. Statengracht will carry the load to Baltimore in United States".

Three yachts were loaded on-board of Statengracht - general cargo ship. This 172.6 m long and 25.65 wide vessel was built in Poland in Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa in 2004. More about this ship HERE

The 640 FLY, 500 FLY and 500 FLY models, which were loaded on-board of Statengracht were built at the Galeon shipyard.
