Launch / Boat & Crew Transfer

Launch boat and crew transfer providers operate the small craft that ferry crew, stores, and technicians between the shore and a vessel lying at anchor or a berth a road vehicle cannot reach — crew changes, stores and spare parts delivery, and transfer of pilots, surveyors, or riding technicians to and from the ship.

This is a transport service for people and small cargo rather than the bulk delivery of fuel, water, or provisions themselves, and is distinct from the tugs and pilots engaged for a vessel's own manoeuvring. Launch operators work around a port's anchorage pattern, tidal window, and sea conditions, and a safe transfer depends on suitable boarding arrangements at both the ship and the launch. Buyers or agents book launches around a scheduled crew change or delivery, comparing providers on boat availability, safety record, and reliability in poor weather. It sits within the Port, Agency & Cargo Services category group on PortProcure.
