ISA Yachts’ new ISA Voyager 45m yacht model 

ISA Yachts has announced a new 45-metre explorer yacht model, the ISA Voyager 45m.


ISA Yachts unveils new ISA Voyager 45m explorer yacht model 

The superyacht industry is often portrayed by mainstream media as slow to innovate or adapt to environmental challenges. However, this perspective overlooks numerous initiatives and organisations at various levels, from international to local, that actively facilitate a more sustainable approach among all stakeholders within the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/237001/image/large-34661eb661037cedcc9fa816ea2839c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/237001">Stakeholders in the superyacht industry have been actively involved in promoting and implementing sustainability projects through regulatory compliance across various aspects, from cruising operations to construction infrastructure and supply chains. The following sections detail the leading organisations such as the Sea Index, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a> and YETI and their projects, highlighting their active role in promoting a sustainable future.International Maritime OrganisationIn 2016, the United Nations' International Maritime Organisation (IMO) implemented Tier III of the IMO NOx regulations, aimed at significantly reducing nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) from vessels. These stringent regulations call for a reduction of approximately 70 percent in NOx emissions compared to the Tier II standards, marking a substantial step towards environmental stewardship.For the superyacht sector, the implications of these regulations are profound. Starting from 1 January 2016, every large yacht exceeding 500 gross tonnes and equipped with diesel engines over 130 kW has been required to comply with these rigorous standards. In 2021, the scope of these regulations broadened further, encompassing yachts under 500 gross tonnes but over 24-metres in length overall (LOA). This expansion ensures a wider application of the environmental standards, pushing the superyacht industry towards broader compliance and enhanced sustainability efforts.Superyacht Eco Association IndexIn 2020, Credit Suisse and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4337" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yacht Club de Monaco (Company)">Yacht Club de Monaco</a> introduced a significant innovation with the launch of the Superyacht Eco Association (SEA) Index. Developed in partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>, the SEA Index is designed to measure and rate the environmental impact of superyachts, spanning areas such as propulsion systems, energy recovery, and waste management. This initiative marks a pivotal step toward transparency and accountability in the industry, providing a robust tool for assessing air pollution emitted by these luxury vessels. The Index aspires to evolve into a globally recognized standard, offering ecological ratings that could inspire a broader commitment to sustainability across the industry.The SEA Index operates as an online, customisable tool that allows yacht owners and industry stakeholders to perform 'no obligation' self-assessments of their emissions. If these assessments meet the SEA Index's stringent criteria, owners can then opt for an official audit to obtain a SEA Flag and an SEA rating. Such features underscore the Index's role not only as a benchmarking tool but also as a catalyst for change, pushing for lower emissions and cleaner operations. The initial launch was met with enthusiasm, as it provided yacht owners with a clear insight into the environmental efficiency of their vessels, evaluated on a 0-5 scale. This transparency is crucial in an industry often scrutinised for its environmental footprint.Recognising the need for wider applicability and greater inclusivity, the SEA Index expanded its scope in subsequent phases. The second phase saw a collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1452" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's Register (Company)">Lloyd’s Register</a> to incorporate more propulsion systems and alternative fuels, broadening the assessment criteria to accommodate a greater variety of yachting operations. The third phase further advanced the project by including smaller yachts, specifically those below 400 Gross Tonnage and over 25 metres in length, thereby covering a larger segment of the industry.Most recently, in 2024, the SEA Index expanded its reach to marina operations. It has been deployed in 15 marinas located in strategic yachting hubs like Menton, Saint-Tropez, and Bonifacio in Corsica. This move not only amplifies the Index's impact but also aligns with broader environmental goals, helping marina operators and yacht owners alike to gauge and subsequently reduce their carbon emissions. As the SEA Index continues to set new standards for sustainability, it offers a promising path forward for the yachting industry, one that aligns luxury with environmental responsibility.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/119359/image/large-1fae816de8b77f36e3d1ab53bc6299b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/119359"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a>&nbsp;and Yacht Environmental Transparency IndexAnother organisation at the forefront of promoting environmentally sustainable practices within the industry is the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a>.

How the superyacht industry is championing sustainability

The superyacht industry is often portrayed by mainstream media as slow to innovate or adapt to environmental challenges. 

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver Design</a> has unveiled the details of the 59-metre superyacht concept, ‘Concept Fifty-Nine’, which features “idyllic exterior proportions” and “teardrop-shaped” hull surfaces, according to the studio. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331720/image/large-7dea66a7b46ffd5bd6a889d5b28ece1f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331720"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331716/image/large-2fa62ee5bb6cdd9c55f28911b207dc37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331716">Developed to carry the key features associated with larger vessels, Concept Fifty-Nine boasts an estimated volume of 900 GT. “I feel like the 55 to 60-metre range is often overlooked as many buyers leap over the 500 GT barrier, they immediately move into a boat over 60-metres,” designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331717/image/large-3c8a552539192d660e821ec1ad97221b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331717">In terms of accommodation, Concept Fifty-Nine contains five staterooms on the lower deck, one of which is a full-beam VIP suite. Moreover, an owner’s suite can be found on the main deck and is complete with both a private office and spacious walk-in closet. With a beam of 10.3-metres, the superyacht also has room to host crew members in six cabins on the lower deck, as well as in the captain's cabin on the full walk-around bridge deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331713/image/large-68c3060d816b1a127ee94608aa5c501d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331713">“What makes this project unique is that it was conceived simultaneously as an interior and exterior styling exercise. Rather than build to a governed length, I let the length reveal itself after the spaces were established.”“The idyllic exterior proportions are meant to disguise the wide-beam high-volume shape with a timeless silhouette that also exudes a fresh, modern feel,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> continued. “The highly sculpted hull surfaces have a teardrop shape inspired by classic runabouts.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331712/image/large-aacab9461b4a19519e06168010b91637.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331712">One of Concept Fifty-Nine’s most notable traits is her generous aft beach club, with a 1.2-metre deep pool that has the option to be heated up. The pool is situated close to the water level, so that guests can immerse themselves in the surrounding seascape. Meanwhile, the port and starboard integrated seating in the side hulls, bustles for those onboard to unwind.&nbsp;From here, the aft door leads to a vast beach club with a bar at the forward end of the pool, creating a ‘swim-up’ effect. The beach club is also decked out with a fitness area, dayhead, and changing room. Moving to the sundeck, a unique cinema space is fitted with lounge seating, which can rotate to face the screen for cosy movie nights. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331715/image/large-abcc84938e682df0928ef976f5ce7009.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331715">Two 7.3-metre tenders are stored forward on Concept Fifty-Nine’s bow, thereby ensuring there is plenty of aft space for guest entertainment. Expansive window openings are present across all three of the superyacht’s decks for a seamless connection between the interior and exterior.&nbsp;Regarding her performance, Concept Fifty-Nine can reach an estimated cruising speed of 14 knots and a top speed of 16 knots, depending on the propulsion system. “The current engine room position and layout is for a traditional pair of mains, but there is opportunity to use an alternative propulsion method,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> concluded.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331714/image/large-b8673ed59daad587730f7794efd81265.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331714">

The owners of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a>, situated in Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City, have applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in response to overwhelming debt. This is reported by the specialised database ‘<a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a>’ which used data from United-States Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER). The application, filed on 26 September 2024, encompasses not only the marina but also its associated Estuary restaurant and sailing club, all under the ownership of the same holding entities."We voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 to preserve and protect the assets of the project, allow the necessary time to maximize our value for the benefit of our creditors and are working with numerous interested parties and welcome other parties who may be interested in the project to work towards a sale that will maximize our return to creditors and put the project into good hands to continue the work we have begun," said a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a> spokesperson to <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331041/image/large-41069672ff930cbb2ceee0128653db8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331041">Situated beside Pier 5 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, the marina serves as a vital hub for water access, accommodating a diverse array of vessels from superyachts up to 91-metres in length to historic boats and small sailboats. It also provides a variety of boating programs including a sailing school, children's activities, and kayaking lessons for the community. The marina is managed by the Singapore-based SUTL Group and owned by SUTL Investments Pte, according to <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a>.&nbsp;This decision follows a prolonged period of financial difficulties, which originated from extended delays in construction, and ongoing operational challenges at the marina, reports <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a>. "The ONE15 operations team came together through the lengthy build process and subsequent challenges due to COVID," also noted the marina spokesperson.Local media have attributed many of the marina’s structural issues to inherent challenges at its location. Situated at the strategic intersection of New York Bay, the East River, and tidal flows from the Hudson River, the site has consistently posed difficulties for marina operations. Even before the development of Brooklyn Bridge Park, this area was historically known as a problematic location, due to complications with pier construction and the need for effective wave abatement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331042/image/large-36078af544beed36645b734d9c586078.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331042">By filing for Chapter 11, the owners aim to reorganise their debts while maintaining ongoing operations. <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a> data shows that the court has sanctioned the joint administration of the bankruptcy cases for the marina, the restaurant, and the sailing club, allowing them to continue operating as separate entities. Led by principal Estelle Lau and represented by the law firm Kirby Aisner &amp; Curley, the ownership group seeks to negotiate with creditors and secure a buyer for the marina and its associated enterprises. The entities involved in these proceedings include <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a>, One°15 Restaurant (also known as Estuary), One°15 Sail Club, and One Edge Marina Finance Company, says <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a>."We believe that the marina, sail club and food and beverage programs are an important feature of NYC’s waterfront and the challenges we face demonstrate the need for commitment of the community as a whole. But we remain certain that our vision can be achieved and look forward to the next chapter of the project," affirmed the marina to <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a>. "We continue to offer an unparalleled boater experience in NY Harbor and to accept transient boats into the marina. We plan to seek Court approval to facilitate a sale process for the business to transition the project into the best hands to guide this newest addition to New York’s waterfront as seamlessly as possible," concluded the spokesperson.This article was first published on 2 October 2024 and updated on 8 October 2024 with comments from the marina.
