2019, which makes it challenging when brining in significant refits as we only get the approvals in July and Aug of that same year. Brendon Jost is equally confident, “I think the prospects look very good. STP is looking at increasing the size of the vessels they can haul out onto the hard so that will attract larger vessels I am sure. There are always more and more superyachts being built so I think it’s quite positive. The crisis seems to be well and truly gone now so people are ready to spend on their toys once again.”


MB92 believe the future is digital in almost every industry, and the superyacht business is no exception. They say, “The evolution of technology and design within the superyacht industry is fast and shipyards must be ready to adapt to future needs. We strongly believe in the professionalisation of the procedures among the refit and repair industry and part of this will come from the digitalisation of work procedures. At MB92, our goal is to continue to work hard to invest and be


ready for what challenges the future holds.” They add, “Alongside the evolution of design and technology, environmental issues are also an essential topic that the whole industry needs to address and lead the charge to improve. Given that the superyacht industry is at the forefront of design and innovation, there is a real opportunity for our sector to make a positive contribution to the challenges facing the world’s oceans and waterways.”
