Peters & May partners with Burgess

Marine transport and logistics provider Peters & May has signed a partnership with yacht brokerage and management company Burgess.

The partnership will see Peters & May’s freight forwarding division and its courier department Corporate Express Couriers (CEC), oversee the logistics for Burgess’ new build projects in Northern Europe, and manage shipping requirements for its global fleet of approximately 150 yachts.

As part of the agreement, Peters & May will include access to its UK customs bonded warehouse and European warehouse storage, an inspection of goods on arrival to establish any damages or packing requirements and packing services for both standard and dangerous goods.

Peters & May will handle UK customs clearance, freight arrangements of goods by all modes of transport, including air, road, sea, courier or multimodal, deliver inventory and shipment reports, and provide round-the-clock contact.

“We are delighted to partner with Burgess, a company that shares our commitment to excellence in the marine industry,” said Simon Judson, CEO at Peters & May.

“This collaboration allows us to bring our specialist logistics expertise to their global fleet, ensuring seamless supply chain management for their new build projects and existing yachts.”

He added: “We look forward to supporting Burgess with a tailored logistics solution that enhances efficiency, reduces risk, and delivers exceptional service at every stage.”

Burgess has recently established a new division to refine its procurement processes and improving the procurement service management of both its managed and new build fleet.

“This partnership further delivers on Burgess’ commitment to offer our clients a full suite of best-in-class services,” said Ryan Green, senior partner and head of yacht management at Burgess. 

“With Peters & May, we have first-rate capabilities, cost effectiveness, and crucial flexibility, allowing us to secure favourable rates for our clients and value alignment.”
