Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT) is unique in the world of marine transportation. Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, DYT operates the world's only fleet of float-on and float-off cargo carrying vessels and has been in operation since 1987. One recent Dockwise project was the transportation of the SBX floating x-band radar platform from Honolulu, Hawaii to Adak, Alaska in the Aleutian Islands. A key component of their business is the repositioning of luxury yachts located throughout the world.

DYT has recently commissioned a new super duty ship named Yacht Express , some 209 meters long, the ship can carry 5,000 metric tons of cargo at a surprising speed of 18 knots. Crossing the globe on a regular basis makes the new ship a prime candidate for the ocean water quality monitoring program initiated by the International SeaKeepers Society.
