Technical Presentations and Articles
Superyacht UK Technical Seminar 2012
118 delegates came to the Superyacht UK
Technical Seminar held at the Tullett Prebon London Boat Show on
Thursday 12th January. Delegates were given updates on some
of the major themes affecting the design and build of superyachts
including the Passenger Yacht Code, MARPOL, the Large Yacht Code
and the Maritime Labour Convention.
David Elson, Chair of seminar and the SYUK
Technical Committee said “it was great to see the support for the
event from right across the industry with designers, builders,
naval architects, lawyers and more getting involved. The day
served as an excellent vehicle for the delegates to hear the latest
updates on developments from experts in the subject.”
Udo Kleintz, Technical Manager for ICOMIA,
said ““The Superyacht UK Technical Seminar provided a comprehensive
overview on the current issues that affect the large yacht
industry. By attracting a big audience including administrators and
service providers, Superyacht UK delivered an excellent opportunity
to meet key players in the large yacht community.”
To round off the day before the networking
drinks the winner of SYUK Design Competition was announced.
This year’s winner is Daniel Humphreys, 3rd year
industrial design student from Plymouth University. Daniel’s
work was selected by the design team at Design Unlimited for his
creative ideas and high quality drawing skills. Daniel will
now go to the Seatec show in Italy to take part in a freehand
drawing competition against 11 other Italian students.
