Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT) has released the schedule for its newly launched super ship, the 686-foot (209 meters)Yacht Express, and has plans to make a special visit in September to the Monaco Yacht Show. The ship is the largest vessel of its kind in the world with a semi-submersible dock bay that allows yachts of any size to be safely floated on and off as cargo. It was added to the DYT fleet to provide yacht owners with faster and more frequent delivery of their luxury power and sailing yachts across the oceans. Built in Yantai, China, Yacht Express has an official delivery date of May, 2007. In June, it will travel within China to Shanghai, then to Kaohsiung, Taiwan before making its way to Brisbane, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand. August will mark its first transpacific voyage, from Auckland to Ensenada, Mexico. After a run to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, the ship will cross the Atlantic, reaching Toulon on September 13 and leaving Toulon for Monaco on the 16th, arriving in Monaco on the 17th. It will remain moored offshore during the Monaco Yacht Show's run from Tuesday, September 17 through Saturday, September 22, and depart the next day for Genoa.
