Independent designer Sanjit Nair has unveiled the 110-metre yacht concept Airavat. The yacht draws on traditional Indian architecture and Eastern character to present a new interpretation of contemporary superyacht design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397835/image/large-8ecee397953de6a34f0649093b7c1551.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397835">Conceived without the constraints of a specific gross tonnage category or yacht class, Airavat takes inspiration from monumental Indian temples, translating their structural expression, spatial layouts and craftsmanship into a contemporary yacht concept. According to the designer, the project marks a deliberate departure from the "glass-box" aesthetic prevalent across much of today's superyacht market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397818/image/large-4a501bd7a2cc02b1897dd11e4ee1c309.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397818"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397817/image/large-ea64ebd61db0c46a90d599d1a10991bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397817">Inspired by the mythical royal white elephant, the designer aims for the Airavat concept to move past the "glass-box" and “automotive” themes that currently dominate the superyacht market. Unburdened from the typical limitations of specific yacht tonnage, this concept was conceived to offer a fresh vision in the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397836/image/large-f7bbcc3fc5f0fb968ffc0eb362903afa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397836"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397809/image/large-70e285713fb37f7cbe96be09c5aad23f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397809" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Rather than concealing the vessel's structural boundaries, designer Sanjit Nair incorporates the grandeur, massive scale, and intricate artistry of traditional Indian temple architecture, turning the yacht into a spiritual sanctuary at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397812/image/large-5315c8defbbaf32c671d9fd60b0bb539.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397812">Reflecting on the project, Sanjit Nair added: "Superyacht design has hit a structural and spatial saturation point; vessels are beginning to mimic one another, losing their individual soul. Vision Juggernaut is how I want to add a different kind of value to yacht design. It is an expression of personal style and a form of adding an authentic Eastern character–defined by raw scale, monumental reverence and structural honesty– to the global stage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397829/image/large-0db7f57680934fa8302612781a57eae3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397829">In terms of defining features, Airavat showcases its exposed double-height structural pillars that support the superstructure. Rather than hiding these structural elements, the design celebrates the grandeur of traditional Indian stone columns to create a striking silhouette.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397830/image/large-b45ee2abe559d2df1ed9d63cc785df4c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397830" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Her aft deck has been conceived as a ceremonial arrival space, featuring a broad staircase descending to the swim platform alongside an 11-metre infinity pool. Inspired by the Varanasi Ghats along the Ganges River, the arrangement is intended to recreate the experience of approaching India's historic riverside steps.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397816/image/large-edfb7199b3e7509fe8046f04bab6a25b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397816" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Forward, the yacht's sculptural bow mimics the sweep of an elephant's trunk, while the hull and superstructure reference the star-shaped foundations of Karnataka's Keshava Temple. Meanwhile, a life-sized sculpture of the mythical white elephant Airavata stands prominently on the bow, reinforcing the yacht’s identity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397813/image/large-a4a30e7a838bd434bc6a6ecda2c06339.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397813"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397815/image/large-07fce8c614fd8943a271cff3fbf41a20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397815">Airavat&nbsp;creatively reimagines ancient motifs as modern yacht elements. For instance, overhanging balconies inspired by Jharokha architecture serve as private viewing retreats overlooking the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397827/image/large-0e53430bebfe5872bc16c1c5726f9017.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397827"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397828/image/large-1072cfe948d99771e1dbfa2d016acd4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397828">Moving inside, the design creates an interplay of light and geometry: circular, Mandala-inspired teak decking aligns with an illuminated glass roof above the dining pavilion, capturing the &nbsp;"open-sky" architecture found in the Kopeshwar Shiva Temple.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397826/image/large-6612b1e51380b6bd0bb89d057ff19208.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397826">With a beam of 17-metres, Airavat features a centralised arrangement of interior living spaces intended to maximise onboard comfort and stability. The owner's deck incorporates a spacious aft lounge fitted with a custom diamond-shaped bar, while a grand central staircase leads to the bridge deck dining pavilion, set beneath the Mandala-inspired skylight.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397832/image/large-34732874166f334be26b3a63f8a246d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397832">

Airavat: The 110m superyacht concept inspired by Indian temple architecture

Paris-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8836" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AERI (Company)">Aeri</a> has unveiled the 60-metre superyacht concept, Aeon. While her exterior impresses with its sculpted form and dynamic silhouette, her interiors draw immediate inspiration from traditional Japanese ink painting, known as Sumi-e.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397900/image/large-25770025bec72332e78e089c1e6f4c78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397900">This design language is echoed throughout the yacht, where a tapered stern and carefully sculpted hull give her a sense of movement even when at anchor. Her superstructure follows the same architectural philosophy, with each deck set slightly back from the one below, creating a series of spacious outdoor terraces while reducing the yacht’s visual bulk.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397905/image/large-7b0d07ff485db32e75db80d4dc5f6721.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397905">Inside, Aeon's main saloon is defined by expansive panelling and an understated aesthetic. Hand-painted Sumi-e-inspired panels, paired with a carefully curated palette of neutral tones and dark woods, create a serene atmosphere that runs throughout the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397904/image/large-7f18429be1d53c258046583d94ef94e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397904">At the centre of her main saloon, a low-profile L-shaped sofa in cream fabric anchors the space. Overhead, a striking ceiling feature combines illuminated panels with wood inlays, subtly echoing the Sumi-e inspiration. Carefully selected furnishings, including sculptural bar stools, enhance the sense of elegance, while sliding doors lead seamlessly to the adjacent outdoor dining and lounge areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397902/image/large-d828f08f688ddb4924bb3f89453ffe66.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397902"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397903/image/large-61472bc9b5dc00bd42d9f10dc2a9914f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397903">With owner privacy and flexibility in mind, Aeon's designer has presented several general arrangement options. She measures a beam of 10.5-metres and a gross tonnage of approximately 500 GT plus. Aeon offers either five or six guest cabins, alongside a variety of entertainment and lifestyle configurations, and is supported by crew accommodation in eight cabins.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397906/image/large-4a9069b84e00c7fea6d53c75c398727b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397906"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397899/image/large-269c5397b57b06bbe3c704364d4423f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397899">One layout features a dedicated private owner’s deck complete with a Jacuzzi and outdoor relaxation area. Forward, a larger swimming pool area enhances leisure space, while aft, an open discussion pit connects directly to an enclosed wellness area.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397901/image/large-ff3b63ffaedeb07159be13b1974dbb7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397901">“Rather than relying on sheer scale for its presence, the concept seeks to demonstrate how carefully considered proportions, sculpted surfaces and architectural layering can create a yacht with a distinctive identity and a powerful visual character,” concluded the design studio.

Italian studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8392" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SY design (Company)">SY Design</a> has unveiled Kairos, a 52-metre motor yacht concept centred around a stronger connection between the guests and the surrounding sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397334/image/large-8796d9063db33dbbfbb5f54882d17b18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397334">Designed to remain under the 500 GT threshold, Kairos is conceived to be built with a lightweight aluminum structure, with the intention of making the outdoors the heart of life onboard. The designer has noted that the concept carefully combines open, flowing spaces with floor-to-ceiling glazing and wide hull openings. Moreover, the layout is intended to draw in natural light to flood her interiors, frame breathtaking sea views, and create a seamless access to the water. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397336/image/large-42daf1825f66f137b146990641679193.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397336">Outside, Kairos is characterised by slender proportions and a modern profile that flows effortlessly from the bow to the stern.Her stern serves as one of the focal points of the project. A magnificent pool set at sea level becomes the part of the beach club area, crafted to deepen the connection between the guests and the ocean and expand the sense of openness across her decks. Reflecting the project's philosophy, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8392" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SY design (Company)">SY Design</a> explained that "the objective was not to maximise gross tonnage, but to maximise the owner's experience of the sea."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397335/image/large-e57a868a18e96191861bfc535940ba8c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397335">Wide lateral openings in the hull further extend the views, and invites abundant natural light to dance across the aft, resulting in a bright and open area. Above, her main deck cockpit has been envisioned as a terrace overlooking the sea. In this space, two opposing L-shaped sofas are arranged for mingling and casual lounging, &nbsp;while glass bulwarks preserve uninterrupted views of the horizon.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397337/image/large-8562659c5dd2fd32334132b65c354912.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397337">Ascending further, the yacht’s expansive 105-square-metre fly deck serves as a defining outdoor living area, offering space for socialising, entertaining and open-air dining. Forward, her deck features a flexible layout, allowing owners to tailor the space based on their preferences. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397333/image/large-f17ca1e6f871b464c45ae86a2169b934.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397333">With a beam of nine-metres, accommodation onboard Kairos is arranged for up to 12 guests across six staterooms. The owner's suite is situated forward on the main deck, benefitting from expansive windows and stunning ocean vistas. The five guest staterooms are located on the lower deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397338/image/large-05b708fcf1585fa034d052d3d23270de.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397338">Further features include a dedicated bow garage for jet skis and a rescue tender, while a separate aft garage with side access stores the yacht's primary tender without impacting guest spaces.In addition, Kairos features a dedicated bow garage, discreetly housing jet skis and a rescue tender. Meanwhile, a separate aft garage with side access houses the yacht’s primary tender, stowed away to leave guest areas undisturbed. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397332/image/large-c9d3caeb265320db2d2d23a3105877a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397332">

The yacht has been developed to maximise efficiency while reducing emissions and onboard noise levels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395727/image/large-a4837ca59b87942deeb203ec6ef20a03.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395727" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Three operating modes have been proposed. In Zero Mode or also known as Silent Mode, M80 would operate fully on electric propulsion, delivering vibration-free navigation with zero local emissions for up to eight hours, which would enable access to environmentally protected areas.In Eco-Hybrid Mode, diesel generators operate at optimal efficiency while electric motors provide propulsion, reducing fuel consumption by an estimated 25 to 30 percent. Meanwhile, Boost Mode combines diesel and electric power to maximise performance when required.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395731/image/large-33077a8f7a2790cde018026b550701fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395731">Among its unique features, the M80 boasts an underwater “Nemo Lounge, giving guests a view into the ocean’s depths. In addition, an extensive array of tenders and toys supports exploration and adventure, including two 11-metre tenders, Jet Skis, aerial UAVs and remotely operated underwater vehicles for subaquatic discovery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395710/image/large-a74c0ecaa984d5a5b600f8054b710e24.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395710">The concept also incorporates a range of sustainability-focused technologies, including glass elements with integrated photovoltaics, advanced heat‑recovery systems and compatibility with HVO biofuel, which the designers say can cut emissions by up to 90 percent compared with conventional marine diesel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395728/image/large-811c3e2ad5d43adb8b3999943f2c3651.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395728">Outside, M80 is characterised by angular lines, tiered deck arrangements and a continuous band of dark glazing that stretches through most of her superstructure. Renderings depict the yacht operating in both tropical regions and polar environments, which reflect the designer’s emphasis on her versatility and global cruising capability.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395732/image/large-7195234a8e71f1b3e271ecf59b638cc5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395732">In terms of outdoor living, her amenities include an aft infinity pool overlooking the stern and a forward Jacuzzi wrapped around by sunpads. A touch-and-go helipad located on the bow supports rapid transfers of guests between destinations, while the yacht's relatively shallow 3.75-metre draught allows access to shallow cruising grounds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395718/image/large-aebceaa67499330e5bfd597898e7c678.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395718">The owner’s private full-beam apartment is the highlight of M80’s guest accommodations. The suite includes a study, library, walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and a dedicated outdoor balcony offering direct access to private deck space. With a beam of 13.5-metres, the yacht is arranged to accommodate up to 14 guests across seven staterooms, supported by a crew of 22 alongside her captain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395709/image/large-1077afc5c96b3929c70ee9374bc96865.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395709">M80’s guest areas are intended to maximise connections with the surrounding sea.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a> has unveiled the 90-metre motor yacht concept Platea. Developed by Monaco-based yacht design and architecture studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a>, Platea reconfigures the traditional yacht layout by minimising interior volume and placing emphasis on expansive exterior living spaces.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395696/image/large-94a0a1cd747c02edba683d1e932fefe0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395696">Unlike most yachts, which prioritise enclosed volume, the design takes a different approach. &nbsp;Platea’s design compresses the indoor programme to free up the deck. This creates a floating beach club of unusual generosity, where the main deck becomes one continuous social landscape. In this area, an open-plan bar, lounge and dining space extends directly onto a large sheltered terrace complete with an oversized pool, Jacuzzi and full-service bar.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395703/image/large-b3de0009761cfa44415a389b655c992e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395703">In terms of accommodation, guest staterooms are positioned on the lower deck. This decision reflects the designers’ intention to prioritise communal spaces over private volume. Since staterooms are used primarily for sleeping and bathing, this allows prime deck areas to be dedicated to social and experiential use.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395702/image/large-c922893b880df550ce74538eaf7ab22a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395702">Moreover, the wheelhouse is located aft of midship, inspired by Scandinavian well-boat design. This opens up the central section of the yacht, creating an uninterrupted social zone, while still maintaining full operational visibility through wing stations. Platea’s owner also benefits from a private apartment with its own balcony. The stateroom is positioned aft for enhanced privacy and separation from guest areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395697/image/large-46e1abf3cbcf2a55d9af45504a59ea42.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395697">“These are not purely aesthetic decisions, but part of a broader commercial thesis,” said the design studio. “At approximately 20 percent lower gross tonnage than comparable 90-metre charter yachts, Platea is designed around the idea that experiential quality, not enclosed volume - is what ultimately drives charter demand.” By prioritising exterior living spaces, the design reinforces its focus on experiential value over internal volume.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395695/image/large-940d9b0039e45cbf9fcf3287eeac9d05.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395695">“Platea distills what defines <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a> at its best: original thinking, a rigorous design logic, and a deep curiosity about the relationship between space and experience - pursued with respect for the sea and the operational realities that come with it,” the studio concluded.

 FTX110: Humphreys Yacht Design unveils 34m explorer yacht concept

Humphreys Yacht Design has unveiled the 33.8m FTX110 explorer yacht concept, the flagship of its new Fast-Transit Explorer Series.


The UK's tax authority, HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC), has issued new guidance clarifying how fuel supplied to superyachts should be treated for duty purposes.Issued June 2026, the guidance does not introduce new legislation, but instead reinforces HMRC’s position that most superyachts, including many operating in the charter market, should be regarded as private pleasure craft, rather than commercial vessels when purchasing fuel in the UK.SuperYacht Times breaks down exactly what this new guidance means for superyacht fuel supply in the UK. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375442/image/large-54e7aee42496cdefed23d149da2e9f5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375442">What has HMRC said?The new guidance provides fuel suppliers with greater clarity on how to determine whether a vessel qualifies as a private pleasure craft (PPC), or a commercial vessel. According to HMRC, a vessel is considered a private pleasure craft when it is used for private or recreational purposes by its owner, charterer or any guests permitted to use it. This includes leisure cruising, holidays and private charters undertaken for recreational purposes.The guidance emphasises that a yacht's ownership structure, commercial registration status or crew arrangements do not automatically make it a commercial vessel for fuel-duty purposes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395931/image/large-1b97bd788627c1a902a84bcaf7f1e970.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395931">Why are superyachts specifically mentioned?HMRC explains that although many superyachts and support vessels are commercially owned and available for charter, this alone does not mean they should be treated as commercial vessels when fuel is supplied.A superyacht should be considered a PPC if either the owner or charterer determines how the vessel is used and enjoys it for their own or guests’ leisure purposes. This applies even when a yacht is professionally crewed or operating under a charter arrangement.Therefore superyachts and support vessels should only be considered commercial in exceptional circumstances, such as when they are contracted by a government authority or industrial customer to supply non-recreational services. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/378222/image/large-9dabe457a6a0c831b4f7d237793820d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/378222">Why does this matter for superyachts?The distinction between a private pleasure craft and a commercial vessel is important because different fuel-duty treatments apply. There are two types of fuel in the UK relating to superyachts are white diesel and red diesel.&nbsp;White diesel is the standard diesel which is sold at the full rate of fuel duty. This means that VAT is applied at standard rates and no relief is available. White diesel is often used for road transport and any fuel use that does not qualify for a rebate.&nbsp;Red diesel is the same standard diesel, but it has been dyed red to indicate that it should be sold at a reduced rate of fuel duty. This is often referred to as “marked gas oil” and is intended for specific exempt or lower tax purposes such as, non-propulsion use on vessels like generators or heating, or for some agricultural, construction and industrial application on land.PPC’s are not eligible to receive red diesel duty-free under Marine Voyages Relief, or to use it for propulsion at the lower, rebated duty rate. Under the new HMRC guidance, superyachts and support vessels should be considered as PPC’s.&nbsp;However, HMRC has also stated that you can supply red diesel to a PPC in Great Britain, but the customer must declare the split between propulsion and non-propulsion use and the full rate of VAT applies to all red diesel supplies of 2,300 litres or more. The fuel supplier is also responsible for paying the additional amount due for propulsion. Red diesel for non-propulsion uses on a PPC, for example for heating or generating electricity, can be supplied without additional fuel duty if all the conditions are met.As a result of this, the use of red diesel is heavily regulated due to its lower price from standard white diesel, and if it is used for purposes other than the rules mentioned above, the HMRC treats this as fuel duty evasion.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375650/image/large-276a87f67cc160786bebc3b9183df6c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375650">What impact could this have on fuel costs?On 15 June, the red diesel rate was reduced from 10.18 pence per litre, to 6.48 pence per litre, until 31 December 2026. However, the white diesel duty rate is currently 52.95 pence per litre. This leads to a 46.47 pence per litre difference in duty to be paid to HMRC on fuel for PPC propulsion.While the exact financial impact will vary depending on a yacht's fuel consumption and operating profile, the amount could be significantly higher for larger vessels. For example, a superyacht taking on 50,000 litres of propulsion fuel could face an additional duty liability of approximately £23,235. For a vessel bunkering 100,000 litres, that figure rises to around £46,470 before VAT is applied.As a result, the classification of a vessel can have a significant impact on the total cost of fuel purchased in the UK, particularly for larger superyachts taking on substantial quantities of fuel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377386/image/large-be7ad0f93133f1194f69440d38ecd477.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377386">What should owners and operators take away from the guidance?The guidance does not create new legislation, but it does provide a clearer indication of how HMRC expects fuel suppliers to assess superyachts and their support vessels.For owners, charterers, yacht managers and fuel suppliers, the document reinforces the importance of understanding how a vessel's use, rather than its ownership structure or registration status, may affect its fuel-duty treatment when operating in the UK.You must first confirm if the vessel is a PPC or is operating commercially, but pleasure vessels such as superyachts should be treated at PPC’s, unless clear evidence of commercial use is provided.&nbsp;A declaration between propulsion and non-propulsion use should be obtained and the additional duty for propulsion should be paid to HMRC. HMRC also stated that if claimed commercial use is unclear, always ask for a written statement and copies of documented evidence.&nbsp;“Whilst misinterpretation or application of the law by suppliers and the resulting access to lower fuel prices may seem tempting, the risk to the captain’s career, the vessel’s ownership structure and ultimately the UBO’s entire tax position, by unlawfully using non or reduced, duty or VAT paid fuel for a fully chargeable purpose, makes it a practice that should always be avoided," added Ben Mahy Technical Director, of port VAT clearance experts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7132" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bachmann Group (Company)">Bachmann Group</a>."Yacht Management companies and Family Offices have an obligation to always operate superyachts within the laws of the jurisdictions that they visit. This new HMRC Guidance and the forthcoming updates to HMRC Notices it references, gives much needed clarification of the fuel duty that superyachts should be lawfully paying whenever bunkering fuel in the UK."If you have any questions regarding the new guidance, contact the HMRC Fuel Duty Policy Team at: <a href="mailto:oils.policymail@hmrc.gov.uk" target="_blank">oils.policymail@hmrc.gov.uk</a>&nbsp;
