# A repair session for a 1,100 tons yacht

When a ship comes out of the water, high logistics efforts are required. For maintenance session, this yacht is brought ashore.

A self-propelled fleet with **40 axle lines** picks it up and moves the freight safely on unknown terrain.

The mission is organized by the well-known **TER company, member of the Piccini Group**. TER is the specialist in handling the famous mega yachts with the label “Made in Italy”. The ship which has been moved during this project has a weight of 1,100 tons.

The assembly structure of the [self-propelled SPMT](/modular-systems/spmt-self-propelled-modular-transporter/) fleet was quite unusual this time. In the rear of the ship, two lines with 14 MSPE axles each have been assembled in a side-by-side configuration. But for the front part of the freight, three 4-axle units are put together in 90° position to build a larger platform which allows a better stability. Five Powerpack units offer the necessary power to propel the convoy. In this way, the yacht is transported **from the floating dock to the repairing building site**.

This well-balanced solution by TER passes the challenge with flying colors. The self-propelled modular transporters MSPE by Cometto excels thanks to their **good handling**, the **modularity** and the **robust chassis design**. The MSPE series is available with different capacities going from 40t up to 70t per axle line.
