BROAD
KNOWLEDGE
Workboats relies on its
vast industry knowledge to assess any vessel,
regardless of size, and determine the best sales and
marketing strategy.
Whether by tender, auction or
private treaty, the highest possible sales
are
achieved through Workboats’ marketing and negotiation
expertise.
PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE
Our dedicated team of
professionals will guide you through the sales process.
They will assess the vessel and provide some options
for how the vessel is sold
along with a proposed
marketing strategy.
METHODS
OF SALE
There are several options
for selling a commercial vessel.
1. Private treaty. This is the most conventional way
to sell a boat. The vessel
is advertised with a set
price or for "offers". Workboats will use its
specialised
marketing strategies to reach the
largest pool of potential buyers and then
facilitate
the negotiations between yourself and any prospective
purchasers.
2. Tender. The advantage of the tender system is that
it is time specific and
all prospective purchasers
are required to complete any inspections prior to
the close of tenders. The seller is not obliged to
accept any tender and can
negotiate with any or all
of the parties once tenders have closed.
3. Auction. The auction process has all the
advantages of the tender process
but also brings
potential purchasers together to generate competition.
This is
especially useful when there is a big demand
for a particular vessel.
