In a market where luxury is already taken to extremes, the yacht industry’s pursuit of perfection and innovation never ends.
When we look at the expectations of a growing number of potential clients, we can see they will push the concept of floating luxury even further. As a classification society, we are evolving our roles with the industry to meet the new dimension of digitalisation and decarbonisation challenges, without any compromise of safety and quality at the same time.
Alternative fuel solutions such as methanol, hydrogen and battery propulsion are among the needing developments catching the eye of a more environmentally conscious and forward-looking type of owners. As the size, sophistication and complexity of yachts have increased, improvements in overall performance and experience are not just about novel architectural designs and advanced construction techniques. More and more attention is also being paid to human engineering, and crew training, management and professionalism.
