Rotterdam, October 2025 — Dutch heavy-lift specialist BigLift Shipping has completed the transatlantic transport of the 52-metre Feadship motor yacht “Ice Bear” from Port Everglades, Florida, to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, aboard its R-Type vessel Happy Ranger.
The yacht was loaded in Port Everglades using the vessel’s two 400-ton Huisman cranes, which can be combined for lifts of up to 800 tons.
Upon arrival in Rotterdam, the discharge operation was conducted onto a barge in cooperation with Mammoet and Oceanco. The yacht is now en route to Oceanco’s shipyard, where it will undergo work under the company’s Life Cycle Support program, which provides refits and upgrades for existing superyachts.
