Roll Group

Roll Group is an expert in global yacht transportation. It is an industry go-to for the mobilisation of yachts ahead of the next charter season, transporting new-build hulls and rescuing damaged yachts from remote places and taking them for repair.

Known for its expertise in handling complex yacht transport and logistics, Roll Group uses its knowledge in engineering and operations to ensure reliable loading, transport, and discharge. It takes great care to look after the superyachts being transported, utilising straps and softslings rather than chains to avoid causing damage.

The RollDock fleet consists of two semi-submersible vessel types, which enables Roll Group to offer worldwide coverage.

The Roll Group fleet is made up of the following two ships:

S-Class

The S-Class is comprised of three 142-metre (465-foot) vessels called Rolldock Sun, Rolldock Sea and Rolldock Sky. With a deck space of up to 4,400m2, the vessels can accommodate multiple yachts at the same time for transportation.

The vessels are semi-submersible, heavy-lift, and multi-purpose. The S-Class vessels can submerge to 12.5m (41ft) to create a float-in draft of 6.6m (21.6 ft). The dimensions of the dock are 116m x 19m (380ft x 62ft). The two-vessel cranes have the ability to lift up to 350mt. In tandem mode, the cranes can lift up to 750 tons.

ST-Class

The ST-Class boasts two vessels named Rolldock Star and Rolldock Storm, with the same loading modes as the S-Class. The 151.5m (497ft) semi-submersible, heavy-lift, multi-purpose vessels are strengthened purposely for heavy cargo. The ST-Class vessels can also submerge to 12.5m (41ft), creating a draft-in hold of 6.6m (21.6ft). As with the S-Class, each deck crane has the ability to lift up to 350mt, or 700mt in tandem lifting. The dimensions of the dock are 119m x 19m (390ft x 62ft).

Due to their designs, the S- and ST- class RollDock vessels have three methods to load and discharge yachts: Roll-On/Roll-Off (ro-ro), Float-In/Float-Out (flo-flo), and Lift-On/Lift-Off (lo-lo).
