The Professional Yachtsmen’s Association has announced a 2 day training seminar on Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006) given by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) at the Novotel, Monte-Carlo. he MLC 2006 is expected to come into force internationally around the end of 2012/early 2013. The MLC will bring in and set the new internationally agreed minimum living and working conditions for seafarers working at sea. The MCA will inspect UK ships and Yacht Managers and Yacht Crew will need to show their compliance with the new requirements. This training seminar’s aim is to prepare and equip the yachting sector in advance of these inspections. Yacht Managers and Yacht Crew will benefit from advice on how the inspection regime may impact across the Red Ensign Group (REG guidance on interpretation of the requirements from the MCA first hand). Participants will be able to ask questions and get answers directly. At this seminar, as the regulator, the MCA will explain how the MLC 2006 inspection regime will be applied to the UK yacht sector. This event will also be relevant to those flagged with the other REG administrations. Course content is based on the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) own syllabus for MLC implementation. Notes and hand outs will be provided by MCA. The programme features practical exercises that will enhance delegate understanding of MLC. You may download the course programme here. The course will cover the changes to Merchant Shipping legislation brought in by the MLC. The format of the MLC inspection and how to prepare for Inspections. Completion of the Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance (DMLC) Part II. Onshore Complaints procedures, and Seafarer Employment Agreements. It is expected that following attendance, delegates will have the information and training they need to get their company and yacht policies, procedures and documentation in order. Consequently the MLC inspections should take place more efficiently. It will also mean that the risk of detention in the UK or other ports will be greatly reduced as a result. MCA will issue Course Attendance Certificates to all delegates who attend the full 2 day course. To ensure that the seminar truly represents the tripartite nature of this ILO Convention, representatives of the UK social partners, the British Chamber of Shipping and Nautilus International will also be presenting at this event. In addition, this seminar is supported by the yacht industry: Oceanco a founder member of Super Yacht Builders Association (SYBAss), have shown their support for MLC and are sponsoring the training. The cost for attending this training seminar is €500 per delegate. Lunch is included on both days. This low price is achieved by a combination of the non- profit making nature of PYA and thanks to the sponsorship from Oceanco. Organisations sending more than 1 delegate will receive a 10% discount. This 2 day course represents excellent value for money. There are many MLC training courses on offer at the moment and as ever, training budgets are limited. However, what should be kept in mind is the uniqueness of this particular course: This training is truly tripartite and is being given directly by MCA - the regulator.Professional Yachtsmen's Association +33 (0)493 34 91 16 <a href="mailto:info@pya.org?subject=PYA%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@pya.org</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pya.org/">www.pya.org</a> Oceanco +377 9310 0281 <a href="mailto:oceanco@oceanco.mc?subject=Maritime%20Labour%20Convention%202006%20Seminar%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">oceanco@oceanco.mc</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.oceancoyacht.com/">www.oceancoyacht.com</a>

In line with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design's</a> ethos of sustainable design, the interior aims to set new standards in eco-friendly luxury.

The palette will lean towards earthy hues, matte finishes, and organic textures.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284874/image/large-5cbbc3c9ec476c393fc7b9fc3fab9a9a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284874">Among the curated selection of 'green' materials, the interior will include inventive applications of reclaimed seashell composite, eggshell finishes, Foresso, repurposed fishing nets, woven grass, and Thames wood.

Ceilings will be adorned with woven grass applications, adding a distinct character to the interior spaces.A noteworthy design highlight will be a living wall adorned with preserved moss, delivering a visual connection with nature and an eye-catching feature on the central staircase. Reclaimed seashell composite will furnish the bathrooms, mimicking the ocean's natural lustre while offering a new purpose to discarded shells. The interior will also incorporate recycled wood chip finishes on various furniture, and palm leather, an ethical alternative to traditional animal leather, will be applied to several furnishings.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284875/image/large-bf1522025432c396834235049b81f825.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284875">On the engineering front, a significant focus will be placed on environmental considerations, including using a selective catalytic reduction system compliant with the International Maritime Organisation's TIER III emission guidelines, thus enabling navigation in protected marine zones such as the Galápagos.The interior will be constructed by a contractor committed to a carbon-neutral operational model, and meticulous monitoring will be carried out by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design’s</a> in-house Sustainability Specialist, in concert with EcoNest, to scrutinise the environmental impact, carbon footprint, and general aesthetics of the materials used.

A large, central guest cockpit will be the focal point of the deck layout and all the deck houses will be clad in wood.&nbsp;“Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) testing and velocity prediction programmes (VPP) have been developed in-house and used extensively to optimise her hull shape and appendages,” explained Andre Hoek.&nbsp;“The yacht’s fixed keel features a trim tab on the fin to reduce leeway and improve balance with the ketch rig, and she is designed with a single rudder with mechanical steering, which provides the helmsman with the ‘feel’ required to help sail the boat to her optimum performance.”The new yacht will be equipped with a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2447" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Spars (Company)">Southern Spars</a> rig package, providing her with an extensive collection of sails. She will also be powered by a low emissions diesel electric propulsion and charging system.&nbsp;A permanent magnet electric motor will provide charging for the battery bank and propulsion when leaving a harbour or anchorage, enabling the yacht to be run for a considerable ‘silent’ period, with all systems working off her battery bank.The yacht’s aluminium hull and deck will be fabricated in-house at their Zwartsluis premises, with the keel due to be laid in April 2024. “This is the eighth project we have worked on together with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/33" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hoek Design Naval Architects B.V.
