SuperYacht Times is thrilled to announce that its first newspaper issue for the new year is out now! Exclusively available <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">via subscription</a>, the 24th edition of the SYT newspaper takes on a new, condensed format which includes all the familiar features and sections, in a shorter, informative and visual layout. This easy-to-digest format also breaks away from our previous thematic structure to a more inclusive and broader format, to ensure we bring you the most important, need-to-know news. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/59637/image/large-e00097a67ba44b18e70f5b8b0d10ab25.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/59637">While working on this newspaper, the editorial team and I had the privilege of speaking with some of the leading players in the industry to learn more about innovation in yacht design, the importance of family values and what it takes to run a successful business. Although our new format does not centre on a single theme, a red string of fate linking our features together emerged, as everyone we spoke to shared a bright, upbeat and positive outlook for the future of yachting. At the same time, numerous insiders also took the chance to underline the importance of being prepared for any situation. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/59645/image/large-b8b81582740de1830c8cc75a35a84bd4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/59645">One shipyard that is hard at work ensuring it’s business is ready for the future of the superyacht industry as it set sail for an impressive 2019 is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>.
