The 2011 Australian Superyacht and Marine Export Conference (ASMEX) is attracting considerable interest from International companies wanting to learn more about the Australian Superyacht Sector. Superyacht Australia CEO MaryAnne Edwards said “we already have registered interest from the USA, UK, Taiwan, China, the Middle East and New Zealand and we have not sent out registration forms yet or the full conference programme.” Edwards said “despite the short time frame to organize the conference to coincide with Sanctuary Cove Boat Show the numbers look exciting.” The conference will focus on key issues affecting the industry, profiling Australia’s refit and repair facilities plus showcasing Australia as a truly unique, sophisticated and iconic cruising destination. Key note speakers include Iain Murray CEO and Americas Cup Regatta Director and Ms Carla Demaria of Monte Carlo Yachts and will certainly provide an international flavor for the conference. Edwards confirmed that the excellent line up of key industry professionals, government stakeholders and personalities will ensure this conference provides value and current industry knowledge for attendees. This conference is about providing a platform for the industry to network, learn and understand what the current situation is and where the future opportunities lie. The conference is focused on quality not quantity with the programme commencing 17th May immediately prior to Sanctuary Cove Boat Show. The conference will be held at Sanctuary Cove and will include excellent networking opportunities and social functions. Feedback from exhibitors has suggested that this conference is a valuable addition to the show with most exhibitors expected to participate.

Superyacht Marketing Roadshow announced by Breed Media 

The world-renowned DAME Award 2023 was presented by Jury Chair Andre Hoek to the Oceanvolt HighPower ServoProp 25 at the commencement of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="METSTRADE (Company)">METSTRADE</a> show this morning. Nine products achieved wins in eight brand new categories this year, alongside an environmental design award, while 14 more received special mentions.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293817/image/large-50297ac1769a17d58b728adde38ecb6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293817">Chair of the Jury, Andre Hoek reflected on the results, “The jury would like to thank everyone who entered this year’s DAME Awards. The efforts of companies who offer their products for such detailed scrutiny are always appreciated, and we are always mindful of the time, resources and passion required to bring each product to market. This year we shortlisted 53 out of 100 entries, the highest ratio of nominees since 2016. That is indicative of the quality we saw across a healthy mix of genuinely new concepts as well as fresh design ideas for existing gear that has been with us for many years.”First achieving the top spot in the propulsion &amp; dynamics category, Finnish company Oceanvolt went on to achieve the overall DAME 2023 Award for their HighPower ServoProp 25. This 25kW electric saildrive was commended by the jury as a masterfully conceived and engineered product that expands the standards for 45-70 ft sailboats by providing an extremely quiet option for electrification. Oceanvolt employed controllable pitch propeller technology, ensuring ultimate efficiency for propulsion and hydro generation. Notably, the HighPower ServoProp 25 is able to return up 5kW of power when the yacht sails at 10 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293816/image/large-a17e948f43e2f4d04b310e8fea8196cc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293816">Speaking exclusively to SuperYacht Times, Oceanvolt said: “We are ecstatic to be Category Winners and were completely surprised to also be announced as Overall Winners of the 2023 DAME Awards for our HighPower ServoProp 25 electric propulsion motor and hydro generator.”Read: <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/latest-products-and-unveilings-at-metstrade-2023" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">A guide to some of the latest products and unveilings at METSTRADE 2023</a>“This achievement has truly been a team effort with every one of our Oceanvolt employees and partners sharing equally in the glory. The HighPower ServoProp 25 has been afforded this recognition as a clear indicator that the marine industry is rewarding the efforts that all companies are putting into developing a more environmentally friendly future.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/246359/image/large-afe9d9d180fe9f9397fcdf25fe3af89d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/246359">Andre Hoek commented, “There were noticeably more entries this year supporting the boat electrification agenda, but it must not be forgotten that the drive towards net zero must influence all new products in the industry today. Improving the lifecycle impacts of marine equipment is an imperative for any design process. The environmental statements we request for each entry give reason to believe the industry is moving in that direction while also highlighting there is much more to do.”Zhik Seaboot 700 took the win in the personal equipment category, while Scanstrut ATMOS 12V Waterproof Built In Air Station achieved top spot for comfort and entertainment afloat, and Raymarine Alpha Performance Display System won the navigation and communication award. Electronic and electric systems saw Vimar Linea XT platform take the win, while Ronstan Orbit Winch and Harken Push/Pull Captive Reel Winch were joint winners under the deck equipment category. Hall Spars – LiMit Collar placed first in the security and safety aboard category and Spot Zero Mobile Pro Mini Water Purifier won the shoreside equipment and materials award. The environmental design award was given to Marservis EcoCube.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/249021/image/large-d86d86ec56c1a0e64613db72c4c5cb38.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/249021">“The DAME’s new categorisation structure for this year helped the jury to focus on the intended end purpose of all products. It also balanced the entry field more evenly, resulting in us being able to name worthy winners for all categories,” noted Andre Hoek.The DAME entrants raised €14,250 which will be donated to The Magenta Project, a passionate collective working towards greater equity and inclusion in sailing.

With the goal to not only tell visitors about technology, these unique zones offer visitors the opportunity to truly experience the tech in a real life setting.Jack Robinson describes the cinematic experience, one of the many immersive displays at the event; “We have partnered with Thorsten Steinbrecher of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7413" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Qualtron (Company)">Qualtron</a> to create a real superyacht cinema at a cost of €500,000. Eight suppliers have come together to design and construct this custom cinema experience, from lighting, AV/IT to carpets and upholstery, each company has put its best products forward to offer visitors a truly immersive cinema experience.”With interior and exterior spaces, the cinema demonstrates the capabilities of technology and is set to arm visitors with the knowledge of how to create world-class cinematic experiences onboard yachts.&nbsp;Another of the immersive spaces at the show is the roof terrace, which has been designed to recreate a superyacht exterior deck. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2864" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Multiplex GmbH (Company)">Multiplex</a> has taken the lead on the terrace, and has brought together designers, fabric makers, AV/IT teams, and unique technologies such as the heaters from Dutch company Bromic which create heat bubbles. The concept is to show to the visitors what is possible; demonstrating the capabilities of hydrophobic textiles; offering live stream feeds from some of the world's most advanced cameras, and at the same time surrounding visitors with views of the ocean from the roof of the World Trade Centre. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284424/image/large-dec161558c72636040e2b6be16b3fd5b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284424">In addition, one of the leading global experts in sound technologies, Steinway Lyndorf, is taking over the ground floor restaurant, a glazed square building that sits at the entrance of the show, known as The Cube. The company will curate a unique sound experience, to demonstrate how sound and noise can be manipulated onboard yachts and how glazing can be used as a tool in sound design. Visitors will be invited to enter the space and experience the immersive exhibition, and speak to the team behind the technologies.You can see the full walkthrough of the show here:<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BpYctlqzLX8?&amp;t=3s&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> Opportunities for Entrepreneurs&nbsp;For the first time, the show organisers will facilitate the opportunity for entrepreneurs to present their technologies to a number of ‘dragons’ – real life investors and highly successful entrepreneurs. Three dragons have already been announced, with a collective investment record of over €100 million in tech to date, and each of them will select 10 companies for a seven minute pitch in a private meeting room. The dragons are;Robert Arthur Robinson, CEO &amp; Founder – Above + Beyond / RAR MGMT.

He has also structured UK Film Investments of over £40 million, pioneered SVOD platform development, design and build of white label products for rights holders.While the dragons make no commitment to investment, they are there to offer their mentorship and advice to the companies at the show and offer an invaluable opportunity for entrepreneurs to get first hand insight into the workings of the tech and superyacht sectors from individuals who are truly experts in their fields. Will Faimatea explains; “We are going to challenge their concepts, give them ideas about how they can better advance their business within the yachting sector.” Whether you are one of the 10 companies or not, the dragons will be at the show for both days, visiting the booths and talking to exhibitors, so everyone has the opportunity to speak with and learn from these inspirational individuals.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293008/image/large-f36b8fd4c943ab3299c53fa5cccb4953.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293008">Stand out technologies&nbsp;With the show designed around showcasing the very best of global technology, it is no surprise that there will be a number of stand out exhibitors at next year’s event.

The introduction of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima serves a dual purpose: addressing the evolving regulatory landscape and embracing emerging technologies and innovations. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a>'s commitment is to provide comprehensive support, offering a 360-degree approach that spans beyond certification, extending to invaluable consultancy services.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294067/image/large-33137cd7ba213ca0e41464dcb517a4ad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294067"><a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> spoke with Fiorenzo Spadoni, the Senior Director of the Marine North Europe Region on the solutions offered by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima, as well as the evolution of this service since its launch.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima is built on five key pillars, each addressing a specific challenge within yacht design, construction and operation:1. Specialised team with the highest of qualifications <a href="#managed-by-system" title="RINA (Company)" data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima employs dedicated personnel, including technicians and surveyors, who exclusively focus on the yachting industry, rather than other types of ships. This specialisation enables <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> to enhance their colleagues' expertise, expanding their knowledge of various yacht codes and fostering stronger relationships with major flag administrations, such as the Cayman Islands, Malta, and the Marshall Islands.Mr. Spadoni highlighted a recent initiative, stating, “A few weeks ago, we launched a workshop in Northern Europe, bringing together representatives from the Cayman Islands and our technicians and surveyors. This collaborative effort facilitated the exchange of experiences and knowledge, with a particular emphasis on practical application of yacht code. This initiative that will be replicated in different parts of the world and with different Flags as well, will provide valuable insights, promoting integration and networking between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> and the flag authorities, ultimately enhancing the services we offer to shipyards.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294065/image/large-e40e4b871a7c438487901826b415b675.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294065">2. Digitalisation&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima's second pillar, Digitalization, introduces a powerful tool known as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Sertica. This tool benefits yacht management companies, captains, and shipyards. The suite offers various valuable functionalities. For shipyards, it provides a means to effectively handle the yacht's warranty period and after-sales service. Meanwhile, management companies can use it for streamlined yacht management.One of the key features is the ability to implement a Planned Maintenance System (PMS) onboard. Instead of relying on periodic visits, this system ensures equipment is inspected based on manufacturer specifications. For instance, if a manufacturer recommends inspecting certain equipment after a specific number of hours of operation, the PMS schedules maintenance accordingly. This is achieved through software that collects equipment information and creates a maintenance schedule for the yacht.Additionally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Sertica allows for the creation of a 'digital twin' of the yacht. This digital replica captures every modification and detail throughout the yacht's life. It stores not only geometrical information and 3D models but also manufacturer details, technical data, and material specifications. The aim is to centralise all critical information in one place, ensuring it remains accessible throughout the yacht's entire lifecycle.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294066/image/large-4a8e39f94bd21884e32dde1d67b779fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294066">3. Core services for safety, comfort and security<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima’s third pillar focuses on core services that enhance safety, comfort, and security, offering added value to yachts of certain sizes. This includes specialised services in noise and vibration prediction, consultancy, and onboard assessment.With <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Marine Consulting, a detailed model of the yacht is created to accurately predict the noise and vibration levels on board with exceptional precision. Subsequently, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> services team can visit the yacht to measure the actual noise and vibration levels when required by the client. Based on these measurements, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> can issue an additional class certification to acknowledge compliance with established noise and vibration standards. Moreover, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> is also well- equipped to address specific noise and vibration issues that occur at particular speeds, providing a proposed solution. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a>’s state-of-the-art instruments include a camera that can pinpoint the source of noise and amplify the vibration displacement, enabling precise and swift problem resolution.&nbsp;Furthermore, as yachts become increasingly digital, they face greater exposure to cybersecurity threats. Recognizing this, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> has the capability to perform cybersecurity assessments, vulnerability assessments, and even employ ethical hackers to identify network weaknesses. If vulnerabilities are identified, they propose solutions to enhance network security. This can be conducted at various stages of construction, following a secure-by-design approach, or after the entire structure is in place. Cybersecurity assessments are becoming more critical in the evolving landscape of yacht technology.4. Decarbonisation and Sustainability&nbsp;Another vital pillar of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima is centred around decarbonization and sustainability. This involves a strong commitment to building and operating greener yachts, focusing on both efficiency and the adoption of alternative fuels. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> brings substantial expertise in alternative fuels to the table. This expertise extends to a range of options such as hydrogen and methanol. Their knowledge in these areas doesn't just stem from the yachting industry but also draws from various sectors, particularly energy, where they worked extensively on sustainability and decarbonisation of the sector.One noteworthy example is the use of methanol, which is gaining prominence in yachting for decarbonisation efforts. Methanol, when produced from renewable energy sources, is considered a "green" fuel. When used in internal combustion engines, it can significantly reduce or even eliminate emissions, making it an attractive option. Additionally, fuel cells, powered by methanol, offer another avenue. Methanol can be reformed to produce hydrogen, which is then fed into the fuel cell. This approach eliminates the need to store hydrogen on board, which can be challenging and potentially hazardous.HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a solution that's gaining traction in the yachting sector. What's particularly appealing is that most engine manufacturers provide full authorisation to use this fuel without requiring any modifications. Additionally, when HVO is produced from biofuels, it offers an environmentally friendly solution. Biofuels like HVO reduce the CO2 emissions by up to 90 percent when considering the entire lifecycle, making them a highly sustainable choice.Moreover, biofuels, particularly HVO, offer unique advantages in the yachting sector. Firstly, HVO is virtually odourless and produces minimal particulates, eliminating the issue of smoke that can soil the yacht's hull. This results in reduced cleaning requirements, making it a popular choice among captains and yacht owners. While HVO may be somewhat more expensive than traditional fuels, it's a feasible investment in the yachting industry, where owners are more often keen to prioritise sustainability even if it comes at a higher cost.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> recognizes the potential of HVO and has introduced an additional class notation called "biofuel &nbsp;yacht." Furthermore, “we've formed a strategic partnership with ENI, a prominent fuel company in Italy, to collaborate on projects involving the use of HVO. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to alternative fuels and sustainability.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a>'s expertise extends beyond environmental considerations; it also encompasses social aspects of sustainability. We offer a sustainability yacht notation that addresses both environmental and social aspects. This notation spans various additional class notations, from the "green plus" focusing on environmental concerns to the "comfort class" emphasising onboard well-being. Also "MLC 2006" voluntary compliance is taken into account, which pertains to the working condition of the crew on board&nbsp;Additionally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> has introduced a carbon index that evaluates the operational impact of yachts, measuring how much fuel and emissions savings occur year after year. This notation is goal-based, requiring specific ratings in various categories to achieve the "sustainable yacht" notation. (Yachts that have this notation include the 69-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.

Shared Platform Ship Model Approval&nbsp;This last pillar is particularly relevant to the superyacht market, and offers a more efficient and cost-effective way to approve yachts.Traditionally, the process involved creating drawings, submitting them to the classification society (class), receiving remarks or notes from the class, and then engaging in a back-and-forth exchange with the designer to address these remarks. This process was time-consuming and often expensive.However, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> has adopted a new, digital platform where <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> technicians and designers can collaborate in real-time on the drawings, &nbsp;or even directly on the 3D model of the yacht. With this approach, the model is approved, when it meets all the rules and requirements, eliminating the need for subsequent remarks or modifications.Spadoni affirms that “Our goal is to prevent any deviations from the rules being more efficient. Additionally, having the 3D model in place opens up new possibilities, such as creating a digital twin for various purposes, including conducting analyses related to noise, vibration, CFD and structural aspects. We understand that transitioning to this new way of approval may not always be straightforward, as some designers are more accustomed to working with traditional 2D drawings. However, our platform is adaptable and accommodates both 2D drawings and 3D models. The primary focus is on real-time collaboration with our technicians, which significantly streamlines the approval process, saving both time and resources”.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Maxima is continuously evolving and expanding its services to meet the changing needs of the industry.
