âI highly recommend ETYC as training provider and consultant to large yachts that wish to improve their environmental policies. I was particularly impressed with Clairesâs ability to deliver the content in such an engaging manner. Thank you Claire for opening our minds to this topic and for showing us so many ways to improve!â – Christopher Durham
The splendid words expressed by the Captain of the superyacht Savannah reflect an increasing awareness among Captains of the positivity in adopting advanced technologies and solutions to reduce the environmental impacts of the vessel which then lead to minimize its consumption and waste. This attitude can be translated in a shift for the luxury yachting industry, where sustainability is becoming increasingly prioritized. In the superyacht sector, environmental decisions made by captains demonstrate a concrete commitment to more environmentally friendly practices. The adoption of our training program aims not only to improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution but also to preserve marine ecosystems. They are essential for the beauty and health of the seas they traverse. This newfound awareness raises industry standards and also sets a positive example for all coastal nations and communities that rely on the health of their seas for their economy and general well-being.
SuperYacht, Ready to embrace innovation!
Captains must adopt and understand the new innovative programs to reduce the environmental impact of superyachts. By embracing these techniques they reflects a commitment to sustainability, which has become a global priority in response to the urgent environmental challenges. Reducing environmental impact contributes to the preservation of marine ecosystems and biodiversity. It can also enhance the operational efficiency of the yacht, thereby reducing long-term costs associated with fuel consumption and resources. Moreover, adopting and implementing new techniques can improve the crew’s and owner’s reputation, meeting growing expectations from the public and stakeholders regarding environmental responsibility. Lastly, ongoing innovation in new technologies are opportunities to enhance the overall performance of yachts, and maintaining respect for the environment as an integral part of daily operations at sea.
From the perspective of image and reputation, owners and captains embracing sustainable practices can benefit from a better public perception. As global environmental concerns rise, companies and influential figures who actively demonstrate a concrete commitment to sustainability earn greater trust and appreciation from the public and stakeholders. The push towards more eco-friendly solutions stimulates technological innovation and progress within the yacht industry itself. This virtuous cycle of continuous improvement can lead to technological developments that have a positive impact on the luxury industry. Moreover, other sectors and communities facing similar sustainability and environmental conservation challenges will affect the same issue.
