There is still so much to gain in the environmental field in the day-to-day practice on board yachts! As a former nominee of the A-crew Sustainable crew award in 2018 and nominee of the A-crew Sustainable business award in 2023 I can only recommend these guidelines to every yacht manager, captain and crewmember. I hope these guidelines will be used during selecting, hiring, managing and educating crew. The next step will be formal guidelines for owners and guests 🙂. No kidding, in my yachting career I developed these already since 2001 for ‘my’ owners and guests and yes some were a little surprised and had to get used to it, but all of them accepted it and (finally) understood the importance. 🌎💚 Last but not least, Water without Waste is here to help out in reducing the yacht’s plastic footprint by offering healthy and sustainable drinking water solutions as alternative for plastic bottled water. https://lnkd.in/dgBP8Ff #waterrevolutionfoundation #yachting #sustainability #waterwithoutwaste #yachtcrew

Risky Business: Entering enclosed yacht spaces by Capt. Jake DesVergers. Courtesy of TRITON News. Entering enclosed spaces aboard yachts during a shipyard refit can be a hazardous task that requires proper training, planning, and safety precautions. These spaces, such as tanks, lockers, and bilges, can pose serious hazards to those who enter them. Despite their small size, these locations can contain dangerous levels of toxic gases — such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen sulfide — that can result in asphyxiation and death. It is important to follow established procedures, including the use of proper equipment and ventilation systems, to ensure a safe and successful entry.

The marine market is known for being a unique and complex environment, however, for the insurance sector this complexity is starting to progress at a rate of knots. The market is experiencing – and to an extent, experimenting – with new multiple developments in technology, particularly the use of Hybrid propulsion and the use of carbon fibre for the construction of yachts and pleasure crafts.
