What do all companies in the yachting industry have in common? 🌊 Oceans at the core of their business models. This shared basis & the consequent path forward for the industry to neutralise its environmental footprint were addressed in an enlightening conversation between our Chairman henk de vries, Executive Director Robert van Tol, and Martin Baum, Managing Director of our new corporate partner Pantaenius GmbH. Their discussion explores the industry’s endeavours for impact reduction & ocean well-being from three unique angles: Feadship's technical solutions being implemented to reduce yachting’s footprint, Pantaenius’s efforts to incentivize eco-conscious choices as an insurance provider, and Water Revolution’s programmes facilitating this transition.

➡️➡️ WHAT'S THE PROBLEM❓ ⬅️⬅️ 🐟 Anchor dragging poses significant risks to maritime safety and the environment. Approximately 5% of insurance claims are due to dragging anchors, and one company reports that 57% of all marine claims by value involve grounding or collisions, often caused by dragging anchors. This issue affects various vessels, from superyachts to merchant ships, and has severe consequences. For instance, dragging anchors can lead to accidents, endangering the safety of the crew and passengers. 🌱 Moreover, dragging anchors cause substantial environmental damage. About 1/3 of all damage to subsea pipelines and and subsea cables are attributed to dragging anchors, as seen in the 2021 oil spill in Huntington Beach, Los Angeles. Anchoring impacts marine ecosystems, particularly posidonia meadows, which suffer long-lasting scars from heavy anchors. These meadows can take over a century to heal, highlighting the significant environmental threat posed by improper anchoring. ⏰ Current anchoring solutions are inadequate, often providing delayed or false alarms, leaving the crew unaware of real-time anchor dragging status. This delay can result in groundings, collisions, and extensive damage to the marine environment. Despite advanced naval navigation equipment, crews cannot accurately determine if, how much, and how fast an anchor is dragging in real-time. ⚓ AnchorGuardian addresses these critical issues with a disruptive, patented technology that offers real-time, fail-safe monitoring and immediate alarms with sub-meter accuracy. By predicting anchor hold and providing precise data throughout the anchoring process, AnchorGuardian enhances safety for sailors, ships, and the sea, and minimizes environmental damage, creating a new standard in anchoring safety. #AnchorGuardian #SwissOceanTech #anchordragging #safeanchoring #superyachts #superyachtcaptain #boatcaptain #yachtcaptain #yachting #yachtlife #boating #boatlife #anchor #superyachtlife https://hubs.li/Q02C-DWp0

How will REGENT’s full-scale seaglider prototype reshape regional coastal travel? REGENT Craft has entered the hardware and systems integration phase for its full-scale Viceroy seaglider prototype, marking significant progress toward realizing seaglider travel. Set for sea trials later this year, the Viceroy will be the world’s first passenger-carrying seaglider, validated by extensive on-water testing. CEO Billy Thalheimer expressed excitement about witnessing the prototype in action, highlighting the company's rapid pace in electric mobility. After conceptualizing the seaglider in 2020, REGENT conducted hundreds of hours of tests on a quarter-scale model. Now, with support from digital twin technology, REGENT’s full-scale prototype is being prepared for tests across floating, foiling, and flying modes. CTO Michael Klinker noted the engineering team’s expertise as pivotal in bringing the seaglider prototype to life. With over 600 orders valued at $9 billion, and approval from the U.S. Coast Guard for testing, REGENT is poised to meet growing global demand for sustainable coastal travel. What do you think will be the most significant impact of seagliders on regional transportation?
