Collaborative Opportunities: Hosting or participating in discussion panels fosters collaboration between class societies, yacht manufacturers, shipyards, and technology developers. This is why we are hosting this panel today! Everyone is talking about collaboration in the yachting industry and while everyone agrees it is necessary, we know this is much easier said than done.
- Environmental Concerns: As class societies, you are responsible for ensuring that these yachts meet environmental standards and regulations, ensuring new propulsion technologies are compliant.
- Safety and Certification: Class societies play a crucial role in conducting safety assessments and issuing certifications for these new propulsion systems.
- Advancements in Technology: Class societies are responsible for ensuring the safety, reliability, and compliance of these cutting-edge propulsion systems, making it crucial for them to be updated on the latest developments
