Princess Yachts announces flagship Princess S80 yacht

Princess Yachts announces new 25m flagship S class yacht Princess S80

A new industry initiative has been launched by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) that focuses on the impact the yachting industry has on the world’s forests. The initiative encourages clear sustainability goals and open dialogues for more responsible solutions. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263032/image/large-9840fc3a207fde264c781f549845604d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263032">“Yachts are an extreme luxury product, but the industry is also an important sector in the innovation of new and greener solutions for the shipbuilding industry in general,” Kristian Jørgensen, technical advisor at FSC Denmark, stated. “We often see innovation in the areas of engine technology, energy efficiency, synthetic fibres, and the direct impact of different materials on the marine environment. But the time has come to pay more attention to the timber that is used.”Timber is a staple resource for the industry, whether that’s teak decking, masts and booms, or interior outfitting – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a yacht that doesn’t make use of the material in some form. The pact set out by the FSC is committed to set standards for the origin of the timber used, to help mitigate risks against negatively impacting endangered forests and the people that live there. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263015/image/large-b70e3c64fd22b16b99acf0958fc9cea6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263015">“This initiative encourages businesses to set targets which FSC, with its wide-ranging experience, supports by providing guidance and expert advice. Both in terms of the practical implementation of policies and incorporating sustainability on a wider scale than just certification,” Jørgensen continued.The FSC is encouraging the industry to choose products from sustainably managed forests to support nature, biodiversity and social development. Showing support and pledging commitment can inspire and set new standards. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263018/image/large-9f67eb9883ca83206360d40c4e5e5053.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263018"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263016/image/large-77da738437cffc581d6a2ec9c3242cff.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263016">As part of the initiative, dialogues can be held about sustainability and more responsible solutions, particularly thorny when it comes to teak. “We cannot talk about this industry without talking about the sector’s historical dependence on teak from Myanmar. Yacht decking has shown itself to be the Achilles’ heel of the industry. The use of natural teak is not just justified by the luxurious look of the timber, but by the extreme technical quality of the wood,” Jørgensen added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263014/image/large-97788a8e4ebda5592fc5d0ecbde26ac9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263014">The FSC wishes to “push forward to find excellent, responsible alternatives…it can bring together operators and show the market what is possible”. This extends beyond builders to suppliers and too. All &nbsp;FSC-certified businesses offering materials or services to yacht building are invited to participate with a supplier’s profile on the website.“When FSC works on the development of policies in a sector, our experience shows that the best way to motivate people is by being clear about the solutions that are easy and close at hand. Everyone can do something immediately by using the existing products on offer. But we also have to identify better and longer-term solutions to the more complex problems across supply chains,” Jørgensen concluded.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263017/image/large-675e5d0b6dd12e07fe61a0f6507ffc91.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263017">You can read more about the initiative at <a href="http://www.yachtingforforests.com" target="_blank">www.yachtingforforests.com</a>&nbsp;

Turkey

The history of Turquoise Yachts goes back to 1970’s with the building of Turkey’s first yachts under the Proteksan and Turquoise brands.Since then, many more megayachts ranging from 40 to 77 meters in length have been delivered to an international roster of clients from the USA, UK, Europe and Russia. In 2014, MB Holding became the majority shareholder in Turquoise Yachts, confirmation of Turquoise as a high-end inventive and eminently capable custom builder. Representing the pinnacle in yacht building, we continue to upgrade our facilities and processes at our two shipyards and continuously have several superyachts under construction. To service our global customers, we now have offices in Monaco and Fort Lauderdale, as well as offering full technical assistance and support from our Istanbul headquarters.Turquoise Yachts has two shipyards, one in Istanbul at Pendik and the other in Kocaeli. The Pendik shipyard, used expressly for interior decoration and finishing work is just a few minutes drive from the international Sabiha Gokcen airport.The second shipyard with a 120m dock is located in Kocaeli, just across the bay from Pendik. Its main function is the completion of steel and aluminum hull and superstructure work, as well as the installation of machinery and heavy piping. The yard has the capability and facilities to build yachts with an overall length of up to 120m.<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/384750702" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>
