Yacht services
Premium quality and safety services for luxurious yachts
Lloyd's Register has been involved with the classification of
both sail and motor yachts for over 125 years. As the size,
sophistication and complexity of yachts over 24m have increased,
our services in this specialised area have expanded to provide a
premium product expected by the industry.
Our experience has greatly benefited numerous owners, helping
them to realise their vision for a safe, reliable and luxurious
yacht by assisting various parties during the design and
construction phases.
What is our experience?
We have worked together with all the major yacht designers,
technical consultants and builders, and we are currently supporting
almost 100 unique new construction projects around the world.
We provide assistance at every stage, from concept development
through design and construction to operation. At all times, we help
ensure that the yacht complies with construction and safety
standards, while allowing the flexibility to create a yacht that
meets the owners expectation.
How can Lloyd's Register help?
Our innovative and value-added solutions help lower the
technical and commercial risks to safety, the environment and to
performance throughout the design, construction and operational
life of large yachts.
Using noise and vibration criteria to assess comfort for
passengers and mariners, we provide an objective assessment of
expected standards. Benefits include:
- a potential reduction in guest complaints
- improved crew living conditions
- better design and workmanship during construction.
Single point of contact
Due to similarities in the MCA Megayacht Code and Lloyds
Registers Rules for Special Service Craft, we have fostered special
relations with the leading Red Ensign flag states to permit
delegation of plan approval and site survey to us. This benefits
you because we act as a single point of contact between the
designers, builders and consultants for both classification and
statutory compliance aspects.
