A RECYCLABLE FOILING DINGHY MADE FROM BIO-COMPOSITES
Thomas Tison Yacht Design & Engineering and nlcomp have collaborated together to create a recyclable foiling dinghy made from bio-composite materials.
The project has seen the French yacht designer combine his INEOS Britannia and America’s Cup expertise together with the Italian shipyard nlcomp’s rComposite technology.
“While there are several foiling concepts in the market, the ecoFoiler is going to set the bar high. It will be the first production foiling dinghy to be designed with bio-composite materials, offering a refined, fast design that ensures ease of sailing,” said Thomas Tison.
MARINE SCRUBBER MARKET TO REACH $20.3 BILLION BY 2031
Allied Market Research has published a report revealing the global marine scrubber industry was valued at $4.9 billion in 2021 and is estimated to generate revenue of $20.3 billion by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 16.2% from 2022 to 2031.
The report demonstrates that the global marine scrubber systems market is driven by the implementation of the 2020 sulfur rule, air pollution prevention policies & laws imposed by governments to protect the environment, the growth in international marine freight transport, and an increase in demand for cargo transportation through ships.
Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities Implementation of sulfur 2020 rule, air pollution prevention policies & laws imposed by governments to protect the environment, the rise in international marine freight transport, and an increase in the demand for cargo transportation through ships drive the marine scrubber market. However, strict regulatory policies for disposal of contaminated effluents from scrubber system and high installation & maintenance cost of marine scrubber are likely to hinder the market growth during the forecast period. On the other hand, the rise in e-commerce & online trading and the growing demand for retrofit applications as ship owners race against time to obey rules and regulations will present new growth opportunities for the global market in the coming years.
RSG GUIDELINES 2023 VERSION 2 PUBLISHED
The most recent revised version of the RSG Guidelines 2023 (version 2) has been released and contains a number of updates.
These guidelines are the go-to document for boatbuilders and boatyards, detailing the RCD requirements, and supporting ISO Standards which clarify certain areas of the regulations.
The RSG Guidelines 2023 are prepared to assist with the conformity assessment procedures undertaken by Notified Bodies for recreational craft, personal watercraft, their components and their engines, in accordance with Directive 2013/53/ EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, dated 20 November 2013 on recreational craft and personal watercraft and repealing Directive 94/25/EC as amended. This Directive lays down the requirements for the assessment procedures to be followed by manufacturers when demonstrating conformity of their products.
The English text of the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) is the basic text used for a common understanding within the Recreational Craft Sectoral Group (RSG). Since these Guidelines provide information about watercraft and engines outside those conformity assessment procedures undertaken by Notified Bodies, this information is provided as guidance only.
