FOR ONBOARD AV AND CINEMAS, DOES FORM FOLLOW FUNCTION OR FUNCTION FOLLOW FORM?


Yachting has been forced to acknowledge its carbon footprint. Proven hybrid electric power is certainly the immediate way forward for superyachts and the clean fuel alternatives being investigated by various superyacht shipyards is a positive step. The Norwegians have introduced tough environmental legislation and are driving towards electric hybrid and battery-powered vessels, with several innovative new build projects aiming for zero emissions by 2030. Yet to power an 80m yacht by battery alone is still many, many years away. You cannot hurry chemistry and the chemical process needed for battery manufacture on the scale and output required to power and run all systems onboard by current battery/lithium-ion energy storage systems. A superyacht is required to do so much more than just ferry her owner and VIPs. I look forward to cleaner and one day zero emission superyachts.


The first thing to consider is that the information and structure of your CV is very different for a shoreside role. You need to spend time translating everything that you did in your role on-board into shore-based language. We get sent a number of crew CVs for shore-based roles that are not fit for purpose. Other things to consider are that pay will usually differ and tax will probably be applied to your take-home pay. It is also important to point out that when applying for a shore-based role you need to be able to identify why you are relevant for that role and that’s usually based on your skill set, your personality as well as your knowledge of the industry and your experience working on yachts. Last but not least, I’d always advise to invest time in yourself in training and development and come with a realistic mindset that you might have to take one step back before you take two steps forward.


This is a buzzword in the tech of superyachts today, but what does it mean and what can it do for the operations of a vessel? Simply put, IoT is automated Machine to Machine communications which allows for periodic or on demand exchanges of operational data. The value of logged data has been recognised for years on well run vessels. In the right hands, aggregated data allows for a variety of improvements to operations from more efficient diagnostics and repairs to predictive failure analysis. Many solutions are emerging for superyachts but most are associated with a particular


equipment manufacturer or connectivity service provider. The ideal solution would be brand and provider agnostic solutions to allow the operations team to capture and utilise real-time OT data for whatever purpose is relevant to their priorities.


Form and function go hand in hand, as there is no right or wrong in design. It really is a matter of individual perception and taste. When challenges arise, there is always more than one solution. Yacht building costs exceed 1 million EUROs per running metre, so the craftsmanship of all involved is tested to the utmost. We understand the detail needed to synchronise audio, visual and control enabling clients to enjoy music throughout every space onboard. Private cinema is another area where we have the expertise to exceed expectations, to create the ultimate cinema experience. Designing audio/video solutions is not just about equipment and infrastructure. One should aim to support rather than hinder the design concept. That’s why we work closely with shipyards, build teams, designers and IOCs, to ensure a seamless integration of technology.
