As the world continues to face the pressures posed by the current global pandemic, there have been many adjustments which we have all had to make in order to adjust to this 'new normal' in which we find ourselves. Indeed, the superyacht industry as a whole has faced a <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/coronavirus-superyacht-industry-updates" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">great number of changes</a> over the past few months, with facilities closing, yacht shows cancelled, sales slowing down and charters being postponed, many of which have been discussed in depth in our weekly <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/news/webinars" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times Webinars</a> (themselves launched in response to the crisis).&nbsp;However, as facilities <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/coronavirus-superyacht-industry-updates" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">slowly begin to reopen</a> in Italy and elsewhere and the industry continues to look to the future, we are delighted to announce the release of our May/June issue of The SuperYacht Times&nbsp;newspaper, exclusively available via<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">&nbsp;subscription</a>, as the first issue put together entirely remotely with the cooperation of our wonderful advertisers and contributors.
