Wide and permit-requiring cargo
Boats wider than what is permitted as normal cargo require a permit application. We clarify whether a permit is needed and what this means for the schedule and cost.
Transport of Larger Vessels
Transport of Larger Vessels – Permits, Specialist Vehicles and Planning
We coordinate transport of boats with unusual size, weight or construction. Wide cargo, tall cargo and heavy loads require adapted equipment, possible permit applications and careful route planning.
Suitable for
- Have a boat with unusual dimensions that needs transporting
- Need a permit for wide load transport
- Have a heavy fishing boat or larger recreational boat to be moved
- Planning transport of a classic wooden boat or older motorboat
Transport of Larger Vessels – Individual Planning
Boats with a beam exceeding the normal limit, unusual height or heavy weight require a tailored transport arrangement. This involves specialist vehicles, lifting, possible permit applications for wide load transport and careful assessment of the transport route. We coordinate the elements needed to complete the assignment.

Transport of large boats requires a thorough review of conditions before the assignment can be planned.
Specialist lifting and crane requirements
Heavier boats requiring a specialist crane or lifting equipment – coordination of crane vehicle and loading can be included as part of the assignment.
Individual route planning
Transport of the very heaviest and widest boats may require specialist vehicles and an adapted route. Conditions are assessed individually.
Our principle
We select every transport partner with care and take responsibility for planning, coordination and continuous follow-up throughout the entire assignment.
How it works
Tell us about the boat and what needs transporting. We review conditions and coordinate the right arrangement.
Tell us about the boat
Boat type, dimensions, weight, whether it is on a trailer, collection location and delivery address.
1We plan the right arrangement
We review conditions – any lifting requirement, permit or specialist equipment needed.
2We coordinate the transport
Collection and delivery are coordinated with one contact person available throughout the assignment.
3Planning and cost – boat transport
The cost depends on the nature of the assignment, distance, conditions and chosen arrangement. We review everything in advance so you know what applies and what is included before making a decision.
When you request a quote you receive:
- Clarification of what is included in the assignment
- Price based on your route and the specific conditions
- Suggested dates and practical logistics
- Clear terms before you commit
Common questions about larger vessels
No, not always. Some assignments may be technically difficult to carry out due to dimensions, weight or site conditions. We assess each assignment individually and inform you of what is possible and what alternatives may exist.
A permit application for wide load transport is made to the Swedish Transport Administration and the relevant authority. We can help with planning what is needed, but the application and approval follow the authorities' processing time and requirements. Conditions are reviewed before the assignment.
We work with professional carriers covered by carrier liability and associated insurance conditions. The coverage that applies depends on the carrier's terms and the specific assignment. For particularly valuable boats, extended insurance cover may need to be explored separately.
