Overview
Yachts are increasing in size and complexity. Bespoke designs and advanced technologies are applied differently and as such regulatory requirements are changing on an almost daily basis in order to meet expectations of owners and charterers. The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that the Yacht Codes are now referencing requirements of parts of SOLAS. It is vital that sea-going and shore-based staff to have up-to-date knowledge of the essential class and statutory requirements.
This three day course is presented by both Lloyd's Register and the Cayman Registry to ensure comprehensive coverage of this subject.
