On the occasion of the Palma Superyacht Show 2024, ESTELA is again hosting three Breakfast Seminars on hot topics of the day:
25/4: SUSTAINABILITY ON BOARD AND IN YARDS
26/4: CREW CAREERS, HEALTH & WELLBEING
27/4: FUTURE OF SUPERYACHT FUEL & PROPULSION
Daily: 08:00h-10:30h, FREE admission
SUSTAINABILITY
What does sustainability mean to different people in the industry? How can we measure it? What does best practice look like on board? How about on the dock and in the yard? What are the effects of sustainability measures on cost and efficiency? Do owners/guests/charterers care about it?
CREW CAREERS, RETENTION, HEALTH & WELL-BEING
What are the hiring trends? Are crew training provisions adequate for life on board? How do we ensure sound mental health and general welfare on board? What does career development and progression look like today? What are the trends in pay and employment terms? Is crew turnover on the increase and why? What are the benefits of joining a union?
FUEL & PROPULSION
What is the cost and/or performance impact of adopting cleaner fuels? Are owners on board with the associated increased cost? How can we educate owners, managers and captains about the need to adopt or adapt to cleaner fuels? What are the barriers? What is the regulatory environment in the EU and elsewhere? Is there a realistic alternative to the current fuel mix around the corner, or on the horizon?
What are the engineering and maintenance challenges ahead in terms of cleaner propulsion and moving to a mix of diesel, hydrogen and electric engines? What is the role of naval architecture? Do more complex systems mean longer build lead times and increased costs? How interested are existing and prospective owners in more sustainable yachting?
