ISM and ISPS announcement
YCO have recently set up a new Compliance Department that will be dealing exclusively with Safety (International Safety Management – ISM), Security (International Ship and Port Security - ISPS), and Pollution control.

World Super Yacht Celebration - Moscow
YCO attended the first World Super Yacht Celebration in Moscow shortly before Christmas along with many of the other leading industry professionals. The luxury event provided the opportunity for the YCO managers to meet prospective clients from the Russian market and discuss their requirements regarding luxury yachts, and we now look forward to fulfilling those requirements.
