Creating a new economy around the preowned yachts
Eco-friendly preowned yachts are the new economy in the yachting industry:
As you know the IMO and other organizations create standards to minimize the emissions from marine diesel engines. And top-tier market vendors provide solutions by utilizing cutting-edge technology to silent exhaust pipes; while continuously advancing knowledge and technology. Moreover, Shipyards and vendors have already presented catalytic reducers, exhaust scrubbers for an efficient combustion process, alternative fuel, and others. But how about the pre-owned yachts of some age?
Are we all familiar with the laws governing used cars and pollution? Isn’t the time right to chart the course for regulating preowned yachts?
Are we all familiar with the laws governing used cars and pollution? So, iIsn’t it time we charted a clear course for regulating preowned yachts? And with a pragmatic and visionary mindset, each of us, as Superyacht Charter Managers, should play a pivotal role in this endeavor. By consistently contributing daily, we can actively advance green economy initiatives and promote a healthier ecosystem.
Do you agree that it’s essential for Superyacht Managers to empower Owners with comprehensive guidance on optional conversions and upgrades? These preparations are crucial until maritime laws and classification societies enforce regulations mandating pre-owned yachts to convert to eco-friendly units.
Furthermore, as we navigate this transition, it’s important to consider various aspects. For instance, how can we effectively integrate sustainable practices into existing operations? Additionally, what strategies can we employ to maximize environmental benefits while ensuring economic feasibility? These questions highlight the need for proactive measures and strategic planning.
Moreover, collaboration among stakeholders—Owners, Managers, and regulatory bodies—is pivotal. It involves fostering partnerships and engaging in ongoing dialogue to address challenges and seize opportunities. By leveraging these collaborative efforts, we can collectively steer towards a more sustainable future for the yachting industry.
Encouraging the highest echelon of Yacht Managers to support environmental practices motivates Superyacht Owners to implement changes. They actively strive to support the green economy, moving beyond mere membership in environmental organizations. Owners of preowned yachts can obtain a dedicated Certificate for their retrofit, and possibly receive a gift from an environmental organization collaborating with CA. Additionally, yachts can achieve financial savings through reduced consumption. Classification societies can further support Owners by introducing innovative suppliers and materials to Captains and Yacht Managers.
For classification societies, highlighting eco-friendly Superyachts in a new category on charter platforms with a ‘green leaf’ or ‘ocean-friendly’ logo presents a significant opportunity. It aligns with agencies’ objectives to attract Charterers interested in environmentally responsible options. Chartering luxurious, eco-friendly yachts of any age allows Charterers to enjoy themselves while contributing to environmental conservation. Ultimately, it’s about preparing for a sustainable future, safeguarding our oceans and the well-being of all creatures in an evolving world.
