Reading the article closely,
individual components of the ships were recycled. There is no suggestion that whole ships were assembled, disassembled, and reassembled multiple times.
In fact, there's no reason to think the ships taken to Punt were existing boats taken apart on the Nile and reassembled on the coast - why not new "boat kits" carried to the coast to be assembled for the first time?
