EDITOR’S Boat show frazzle NOTE T
he leaves on the trees are turning a rusty shade of brown, the low-lying sun casts stretched inky shadows and the cobwebs are out in force. Yes, winter is coming. And yet boat show season remains as steadfast as ever. Cannes, Monaco and FLIBS may be behind us, but METS is just around the corner, and Antigua, Düsseldorf, Miami and Dubai are shimmering on the horizon. If there’s one element that staunchly unites the superyacht industry, it’s a relentless work ethic with a strong desire to evolve. Lürssen’s rapid 300-day refit of 20-year-old classic motor yacht Carinthia VII (featured in our yacht report on page 26) is the epitome of such evolution. First commissioned in 2002 by Austrian billionaire Heidi Horten, the famously private yacht was snapped up by a new buyer in 2022. She cruised into Port Hercules like a new lady this September ahead of her charter debut. The marrying of old (original teak decks and parquet floors) and new (30km of cabling, stabilisers and a stunning 11m swimming pool) is to be commended. Our second yacht report (page 22) homes in on Hakvoort’s fullcustom transatlantic superyacht Milele, a 45m fast aluminium boat that pairs good looks with efficient performance. She too debuted at the Monaco Yacht Show, showcasing Van Oossanen’s Fast Displacement Hull Form combined with the world’s first Hull Vane to be built out of carbon. We also tour Feadship’s latest concept – Dunes – an 83m yacht with reduced energy needs that strides towards the shipyard’s goal of Net-Zero (page 14), while ISA Yachts’ new Sportivo line brings large volume to smaller platforms (page 38).
And as mentioned, the 35th edition of Metstrade looms near (page 10), with a record number of new initiatives added to the agenda for 2023. These include the Next Generation Propulsion Zone showcasing alternative fuels and zero-emission solutions, and the Foiling Technology Pavilion where visitors can learn about new applications.

Dutch shipyard Feadship has confirmed its latest build Project 1011 has exited the construction shed at its facility in Makkum, with fitting out set to continue as she readies for sea trials in the North Sea prior to delivery. Project 1011 has been built for a highly experienced owner who was closely involved in every detail of the 103m project from the start. The owner requested similar amenities and living space as his previous yacht of 6,000GT but in a design of half the volume for easier access to anchorages and harbours. A key part of the design is a single deck engine room to devote more interior volume to guest use. It’s a successful design solution that Feadship has already applied to a second project under construction in Makkum.

Cutting-edge concepts Feadship’s latest concept Dunes redefines the parameters of yacht design. ALL IMAGES COURTESY OF FEADSHIP.
A
mong the starlets and debutants that descend on Port Hercules each year, the Monaco Yacht Show shines a spotlight on the latest concepts and innovations that drive the industry forward. Leading the pack in terms of creativity and fully developed designs is Dutch shipyard Feadship, whose annual unveilings push the boundaries of yachting. And this year was no different. Feadship’s twelfth cutting-edge concept design is an 83m concept named Dunes with significantly reduced energy needs. Conceived by Studio De Voogt, it strides towards Feadship’s goal of NetZero superyachts by combining features that reduce energy demand with technology that increases efficiency and eliminates emissions. Examples include shading windows to reduce cooling requirements, extra-capacity nextgeneration storage batteries, and a new type of fuel cell. “Each element reduces environmental impact, but when implemented together, Dunes will slash a superyacht’s environmental impact without diminishing the enjoyment of cruising,” said Feadship in a statement. “Assessed using the comprehensive YETI tooling, Dunes eliminates up to 95% of the potential negative environmental factors associated with operating a superyacht.”
Bold moves
The exterior design is a curvaceous yacht with soft edges and a sloping superstructure. Studio De Voogt took inspiration and the name from the undulating ripples of sand dunes, where valleys appear to shift with light and shadow.

“Before we could begin drawing lines, we had to define the scope,” says designer Thijs Orth, who took the lead on the concept. “From customer input, we thought the ‘envelope’ should contain six guest staterooms, plus a spa area, a beach club, an owner’s private deck and a pool. It would be a substantial hull.” Other considerations were put to the test in the early stages to define the parameters of the design, from the feasible proposal of giving guest staterooms direct access to the beach club, to the

more extreme idea of creating decks that can generate electricity. However, the change that Feadship settled on – moving the engine room from the middle of the yacht (the most comfortable place on a boat) to an area further forward – paved the way for an entirely new layout where lower deck guest suites link to a fantastic beach club, water sports platform and a pool above. It was a move made possible due to Dunes being an electric yacht. Electric yachts do not require large gearboxes, long shafts and propellors. In addition, electricitygenerating fuel cells, battery banks and the power management station can be decentralised and located virtually anywhere convenient to the crew. The move eliminated the need for large engine room air and exhaust trunks that typically compromise guest living areas or dictate stairway placement and freed up space for a virtual helm station or command centre on the lower deck next to crew quarters.

Dune_Feadship.indd 16
In terms of performance, Dunes’ electric propulsion system from ABB, called ABB Dynafin. In development and testing for ten years, the ABB Dynafin uses revolving, vertical blades to mimic the thrust of a whale’s tail – one of the most efficient forms of thrust ever seen. The first prototype is estimated to be available in 2025, with hydrodynamic efficiency targeted to be up to 85% (up from 65% for current pod drives or 55-60% for typical propellors on shafts.) An independent study estimates savings in propulsion energy consumption of up to 22% compared to conventional shaft line configuration.
Sustainability laid bare
Of course, sustainability is more than controlling exhaust emissions. Dunes is teak-free, replaced by two new luxury decking systems being tested by Feadship for this concept. The exterior decks are made of tiny glass/stone chips sealed in a
transparent aliphatic polyurethane resin that can be sculpted in myriad shapes to show direction or amplify the impact of built-in features. In Dunes, the idea comes to life in alfresco lounges that are imagined as islands on the decks, rendered in golden, maple wood – a sustainable teak lookalike. The long aft overhangs are supported by a single maple-clad column, uniting decorative sections of maple overhead with those below. The hull and superstructure are built from ‘low impact’ steel and aluminium (something that has already been implemented by Feadship on one vessel in build and is now standard material for all future new build Feadships). The uppermost Pavilion Deck – which is surrounded by glass and separates a forward sun and Jacuzzi zone from an informal dining and conversation area aft – is built of treated timber, which is proven to be a CO2-negative building material with a high natural insulating capacity.

NAVAL ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
The exterior decks are made of tiny glass/ stone chips sealed in a transparent aliphatic polyurethane resin.
Generous, shady walk-around decks are a main feature of the design.
“This benefit and the beauty of the material come without increasing its overall weight,” explains Feadship. The Pavilion Deck is flexibly designed to accommodate the option of being outfitted for formal indoor dining, a night club or conference room, depending on the owner’s wishes.
Cool character
The yacht’s signature feature is, of course, its striking 10m mast, which has an important technical function. It forms part of Studio De Voogt’s ‘Cool Core Concept’, which divides guest areas into temperature zones. Sleeping quarters are cool (19-20 degrees), social areas are about 22-23 degrees, and the Pavilion estimate is 24-25 degrees. The Pavilion is cooled using air drawn up the central staircase from other parts of the ship. The triangular mast shape has convex and concave foils that align with the
s u p e r y a c h t - i n d u s t r y.c om
Dune_Feadship.indd 17
direction of the wind. As the breeze crosses the mast, it generates a low-pressure zone on the leeside, naturally pulling the slightly over-pressurized cooled air from lower decks to this level. Together with the large overhangs, optimized recirculation, and increased insulation throughout, Feadship calculates that HVAC energy use is reduced by 35% on an annual basis. The mast also features a slim, two-blade vane that, when at anchor, can yield about 25MWh of energy per year from the wind. The foredeck is coated with a thin film solar panel called solar paint, which is currently in its infancy, but one day could provide an additional layer of alternative energy.
Natural selection
The exterior design is a curvaceous yacht with soft edges and a sloping superstructure. Studio De Voogt took inspiration and the name from the undulating ripples of sand dunes, where valleys appear to shift with light and shadow. “Dunes undulating curves emerged as a backdrop for the onboard lifestyle today’s owners desire with adaptable, multipurpose spaces, endless views, and a mix of open-plan areas and cosy, intimate spaces,”
says the builder. “Surrounding guests with design inspired by nature allows them to relax even more once they step onboard.” Generous, shady walk-around decks are a main feature of the design. It both protects guests from the elements, provides alternate routes around the yacht, as well as unexpected outdoor seating and entertaining areas. It bucks the usual trend of making shaded outdoor areas aft and leans into one of the yacht’s more recognisable features – an asymmetrical superstructure with virtually no straight lines. Staircases are circular or gently curved. Windows and glass doors are full height, shaded by well-positioned overhangs (or deck shoulders as Feadship calls them) that follow the contours of the glass. The shipyard estimates they decrease heat building behind the glass by 60%. “Feadship Concept Designs are a true joint effort,” says the shipyard. “As so many things within Feadship, [Dunes] is an extensive team effort, in which colleagues from Studio de Voogt and the Knowledge & Innovation department (26 in total) all combine their specialty.” i. feadship.nl

a comprehensive clinical picture for the doctor to determine whether the patient can be treated on board, requires further examination in a hospital or emergency intervention. Making direct connection with the patient’s personal physician anywhere, anytime, is the key to the product, bypassing the emergency service centres that are commonly used for telemedicine, in which the patient’s data is analysed by whichever doctor is on duty. Videowork’s HRM preserves the patient’s privacy and ensures direct communication with medical expert who is familiar with the patient’s pathologies and state of health.
5G connection
The development of the HRM is further supported by Videoworks’ new 5G connection that is guaranteed by a LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite system. Providing a wireless connection with Bonding technology that is just as stable and fast as on land, the solution combines two 5G channels to obtain greater bandwidth for connection stability and high speeds. Furthermore, the technology provides ‘georeferenced services’ that guarantees an American guest, for example, can browse using an American IP even when connected to a French or Italian provider. This means that users connecting to streaming services or browsing the internet will be presented with familiar screen views, such as home pages in their own language. Videoworks believes that a growing use of streaming services means appreciation for this service will grow in the future. In addition, Videoworks uses the HTML5 standard, a graphic technology borrowed from the automotive industry that permits greater flexibility in the design and customisation of graphic user interfaces. The aim is to assimilate user experiences across TV, tablets and other on-board monitors, ensuring simpler usability.
Lighting Systems
Another yachting element that is increasingly in demand among owners is nightclub-inspired lighting systems. By employing extremely flexible solutions in which the same light fixtures can be used for regular and architectural lighting,

YACHT REPORT
HAKVOORT’S FULL-CUSTOM TRANSATLANTIC SUPERYACHT IS DESIGNED FOR LIGHTER CRUISING
Milele The 45m fast aluminium yacht Milele pairs good looks with efficient performance. ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF OCEAN INDEPENDENCE.
T
he 45m world-cruising, fast aluminium motor yacht Milele made her world debut at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show and took spectators by storm. With naval architecture by Van Oossanen, exterior design by Omega Architects and an interior penned by Martin Hanff, the yacht pairs irresistible good looks with good sea keeping qualities, as well as speed and range. Built by Dutch shipyard Hakvoort, the full-custom yacht was sold to the owner by Ocean Independence, which also handles the yacht’s operational management. Construction was supervised by Hamburg-based firm Zucker + Partner. “Without doubt, Milele is one of the most exciting yachts built in the last years,” says Peter Hürzeler, CEO of Ocean Independence. “At the Monaco Yacht Show she attracted a lot of visitors who gave enthusiastic feedback to a degree I have not experienced before. Milele’s style, technical features and elegant beauty clearly make her stand out. It’s wonderful when visionary owners turn their ideas into reality.”
Owner-led design
Milele’s clear and clean lines give the yacht a sturdy and masculine exterior profile. It’s in part thanks to the hands-on owner who was heavily involved in fine-tuning the exterior lines. Some of the innovative details he introduced include scooped bulwarks that offer clear lines of sight, custom designed stainless handrails, and specific outdoor furniture designs for each deck. He also removed the proposed rub rail preferring a clean ‘shaved’ bulwark. The yacht enjoys large, generous outdoor spaces, such as a well-protected foredeck lounge area, an expansive sun deck, and lounging areas on the bridge and main decks. For those looking for action, a gym offers guests the opportunity to work out. In addition to an array of water toys, a two-person submarine is kept on board. Used to explore the underwater world,

it is capable of diving to depths of up to 100m. Both the yacht’s captain and the chief engineer have the appropriate license to pilot the submarine, which is stored below a huge hatch forward and launched by a crane. When the hatch is opened completely at night, it converts into an outdoor cinema screen.
What lies beneath
A large part of Milele’s performance lies below the waterline. Van Oossanen’s patented Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) is combined with the Hull Vane, an underwater spoiler placed below in the stern. It’s the first time the innovative hull vane has been built out of carbon. As a result, fuel consumption is reduced by an average of 20-25% and guests’ onboard comfort is improved. Compounding these hull features are the yacht’s two 2,580 kW MTUs diesel engines that are supported by two electric booster engines. It means Milele is faster than most yachts of her size and can reach an impressive speed of 25.5 knots. When exploration calls, the yacht has transatlantic capability with a range of
s u p e r y a c h t - i n d u s t r y.c om
MILELE opmaak.indd 25
3,800 nautical miles when cruising at a steady speed of 12 knots. More importantly, Milele benefits from an electric-only drive mode, allowing her owners to visit sensitive ecological areas where the dynamic positioning system mitigates the use of anchors.
Inside design
On board, the yacht’s spacious accommodation sleeps eight guests, including an owner’s suite on the main deck, with a private office and ensuite, and three further guest cabins on the lower deck. The owner’s choice of furniture conjures a welcoming and elegant ambience that uses leather and bird’s eye elm as the key materials on board. The main salon twins two separate areas for lounging and formal dining, which are connected by a centrally placed feature wine cellar. The artisanal-crafted sideboards, both port and starboard, display a selection of fine wines behind glass doors. On the upper deck, the sky lounge enjoys a cosy TV nook, with further casual dining and a game table. It enjoys direct access to the bridge deck aft.
Delivering efficient performance and enhanced design, Milele is a modern yacht with a shallow 2.5m draft and conceived for a lighter footprint.

LÜRSSEN PULLS OFF A RAPID 300-DAY REFIT
Carinthia VII The 20-year-old classic motor yacht remerges with contemporary appeal.
F
ollowing 20 years of single ownership and with only 4,000 original engine hours on the clock, the famously private 97m yacht, Carinthia VII, was snapped up by a new owner in 2022. Newly emerged from a rapid 300-day refit by Lürssen in September, the historic yacht cruises into the winter season with a new lease of life. “A refit is not just about necessary maintenance, it can also be a way to completely transform a yacht,” says Alberto Perrone, Refit Sales Director at Lürssen. Whilst the shipyard is known
globally for its many new build superyachts, Carinthia VII puts a flag in the sand for its refit side of the business. “We enjoy the very complex rebuilds and refits, we like when owners come to us with problems to solve and we want to do the things that other yards steer clear of,” Perrone says.
Charter worthy
Carinthia VII’s biggest changes include a 11m glass-panelled swimming pool on the main deck aft. The glass front allows swimmers to easily interact with diners and guests on the aft deck, with generous

Inside and outside the pool is painted in “stars and stripes” blue; a blue with a touch of grey that gives the water the reflection of the deep sea below and which contrasts with the original teak deck. There is also a new 85m2 air-conditioned gym on the bridge deck. Housing a plethora of top of the range professional fitness equipment, the gym required six tons of folding glass doors to create a winter garden. It also houses a new large cinema screen for outdoor movie experiences. However, the most complex task was the new owner’s request to convert Carinthia VII from private to commercial use, to permit the yacht to enter the charter market. “This is a very complex job which requires the review of regulations and many negotiations with the class to navigate safely through the sea of rules” says Perrone.

hile Morten Fon, President and CEO of leading paint company Jotun, acknowledges that the maritime industry still has a long way to go to reach IMO GHG targets (which call for a reduction in carbon intensity by at least 40% by 2030), he sees some encouraging signs of change. Much of the industry’s focus is placed on developing and commercialising alternative fuels for ships. And as a leader in hull performance, the Norwegian company advocates that maintaining a cleaner hull with minimal fouling means a vessel has less resistance when sailing through water, therefore reducing the amount of fuel required to achieve the same speeds, cutting down emissions. Yet Fon also believes that leadership, innovation and collaboration are the way forward.

“In addition to embracing new technologies, more stakeholders than ever before are working in partnership on ambitious projects to reduce harmful emissions,” he says. “At Jotun, we are committed to being a part of the solution, but we also know that by working with other industry players we can maximise our impact.”
Speculate to innovate
Jotun has a long history of collaboration. Many Jotun product innovations involve partnerships with owners and shipyards, while others involve cooperation with technical partners and relevant stakeholders in both the private and public sectors. In 2013, Jotun helped form an ISO working group made of 53 experts to develop the industry’s first hull and propeller performance standard (ISO 19030), which was released in 2016.

In 2022, Jotun joined the Clean Hull Initiative (CHI), which aims to develop a global standard for proactive hull cleaning in international shipping. “Creating standards gives owners the tools to measure performance,” says Fon. “And what can be measured can be managed.” Jotun is a key partner in the CHI, having launched Hull Skating Solutions (HSS) in 2020, the world’s first proactive hull cleaning solution. HSS includes a remotely

operated underwater hull cleaning unit (the Jotun HullSkater), which uses nonabrasive brushes to remove fouling before it can attach to the hull, without damaging the antifouling coating. To develop this technology, Jotun worked with a team of partners, including Kongsberg Maritime, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, Semcon, Telenor and DNV. “HSS is a good example of how partnerships are key to developing unique
Regulations on emissions and biofouling guidelines are tightening, while bunkering costs remain high. Data-driven services to improve performance, combined with growing regulatory pressure from cargo owners to lower emissions, has resulted in a greater focus on transparency, adds Fon. “To achieve compliance and become more competitive, owners have to be able to measure, record and share standardised reports on emissions and the condition of their hulls,” he says. The ability to document regulatory compliance extends to protecting sensitive marine eco-systems, paving the way for countries that are sensitive to invasive species denying port access to vessels that cannot document a clean hull. “Good biofouling management policies and the

“Even when more expensive alternative fuels become available, clean hulls will help owners maintain operational efficiency and profitability and limit the risk of invasive species.”
tools to measure and report on performance will help owners avoid the so called ‘dirty hull syndrome’, which is a growing issue for owners,” says Fon.
The digital age
Thanks to Jotun’s premium hull coating SeaQuantum x200 and its Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) in 2010, the company got an early start on developing its own digital services. HPS includes a performance-based guarantee that is calculated using data taken from onboard sensors. With more than 1,400 HPS applications to date, Jotun now has the industry’s most extensive database on hull performance. Based on EU MRV data, Fon estimates that HPS helps lower carbon intensity by an average of 20% per year, all while delivering a return on investment in about the same time period. “Even when more expensive alternative fuels become available, clean hulls will help owners maintain operational efficiency and profitability and limit the risk of invasive species,” Fon says. “We calculated that in 2022 alone, ships using Jotun hull performance coatings avoided 7.9 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, so the impact is significant.” “Based on data collected over the course of a decade, we have developed advanced algorithms on hull efficiency to offer enhanced services, such as the Business Impact Calculator and Jotun Voyager, a decision support tool helping customers select the right hull coatings for individual trades,“ he adds. “And last year, we launched HullKeeper, a digital platform to help ship operators optimise hull performance, using remotely operated inspection drones, ROVs and other technologies, regardless of the applied coating.“

Jotun established Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) in 2011 to make it easy for operators to maximise hull performance and thereby reduce both fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The solution consists of Jotun’s advanced antifouling products, combined with a transparent method for measuring the impact of antifouling on vessel energy efficiency.
The solution seems clear. Aside from the few owners who like the unfaired aesthetic, most yachts sport a painted hull, so why not choose a hull coating that is not only proven to reduce owners’ fuel costs and corresponding emissions but can help them compete for high value cargoes by keeping their CII ratings high as well. i. nor-shipping.com
HullKeeper helps operators keep fuel, inspection, and cleaning costs under control.

talian superyacht builder ISA Yachts has made a name for itself by pushing the boundaries of yacht building and succeeding at every turn. Currently with two 80m flagships in build, the Anconabased yard, which forms part of the Palumbo Superyachts network, has unveiled a new Sportivo line that aims to breathe new life into contemporary design.
3 8 | S Y I 2 0 2 3 | Volum e 18 | Issue 4
ISA.indd 38
The ISA Sportivo comprises three GRP hull sizes – the 100, 120 and 180 models – fitted with a carbon fibre superstructure. While the Sportivo 100 will be the first model to be officially presented in 2025, it’s the largest platform, the 140, that will be the flagship design. Exterior and interior designed by Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design, with naval engineering by Palumbo Superyachts, the yard describes the new series as having
“sporty lines typical of the coupé automotive world and interiors characterised by large volumes and an extremely contemporary imprint.” Two 3440 kW MTUs will push the boat to a maximum speed of 32 knots and guarantee a cruising speed of 26 knots.

as well as a dedicated sun worshipper’s platform. There is further relaxation beyond the bow with a fireplace and Jacuzzi which can be alternatively transformed into a cinema room.

alongside spacious living and relaxation areas. And it’s all wrapped up in a sporty look and clean, futuristic details that combine modern furnishings with a Mediterranean flair.
Interior perspective
The interior palette features rich leathers, lacquered wood and metal panels, accented with colour to inject personality into each area. The main salon opens onto the bar and then gives way to the sofas and formal dining area. Large floor-to-ceiling windows fully open onto a balcony, which can also be opened on the port side to provide unrivalled sea views. The full beam owner’s suite is located amidships, and includes a walk-in closet with vanity, double bathroom with large central shower, sofa on the port side and a lounge area. This area also benefits from floor-toceiling windows that lead onto a large terrace, providing uninterrupted lines of sight and privacy whenever needed. There are a further four cabins accommodating a

crew of seven. Toys and tenders are housed in a garage located on the port side.
Smaller models
ISA Sportivo 120 adopts the philosophy of the larger flagship and can equally accommodate up to eight people in four comfortable ensuite cabins. It features a Jacuzzi in the bow and a sizeable and versatile sun deck. Powered by three MTU engines of 1,939kW each, it’s estimated to reach a maximum speed of 36 knots, a cruising speed is 23 knots, with a 550 nautical mile range when cruising at 12 knots. Alternatively, the Super Sportivo 100 GTO is pitched to be one of the fastest models on the market today. Powered by three 2,000HP engines it will be capable of reaching a maximum speed of 50 knots. It’s helped by the lightness and strength of the hull and superstructure, which are built with epoxybased vinyl ester resin with carbon fibre and Kevlar reinforcements. i. isayachts.com

eledyne FLIR offers the most powerful thermography tools, applications and software in the industry. So, it’s unsurprising that when leading UAE and Middle East marine and land equipment company AMIT International secured the acquisition of a 37m superyacht for the purpose of a refit case study, it chose to install the FLIR M364C LR high definition and low light camera to showcase exactly what the technology can do. AMIT International bought La Vie En Rose, which built by Slovakian shipyard CPMG in 2004, two years ago as a demonstration boat. When acquired, it needed a full maintenance overhaul and complete

refurbishment and didn’t feature any thermal imaging camera on board. The opportunity to refit the yacht exactly to the company’s needs was an opportunity too good to turn down. “We’re a distributor for FLIR thermal cameras and Garmin, and we wanted to showcase to our clients how well the systems integrate with each other and to demonstrate all the available features,” says AMIT’s group managing director Abdulaziz Abdulla.
M364C and M364C-LR contain a thermal imaging sensor and HD low light camera for high-performance multispectral imaging. The ability to capture thermal and visible-light detail allows Color Thermal Vision (CTV) technology to offer a more complete view of what lies ahead. Exclusive FLIR Color Thermal Vision blends visible camera details with a thermal image, overlaying vital color imagery that allows captains to positively identify navigation aids and other vessels within the thermal scene.

It’s equipped with FLIR’s M364C LR, which boasts a high-definition low light camera and one of the most advanced FLIR thermal imaging cores to provide an elite level of awareness on the water. “It’s fantastic to be able to take customers out to experience the marine equipment the boat features,” says Abdulla. “We have many customers who have never tried the products in real life, so it provides the perfect opportunity to test them and, of

performance and gyro-stabilisation technology, which virtually eliminates the effects of pitch, heave and yaw. “FLIR produces excellent products and is ahead of competitors with the different features its cameras offer which gives a real advantage,” says Abdulla. “The best feature of the M364C LR model for me is its integration, but I also love how user friendly it is to operate. Anyone who tries it feels familiar with it very quickly, which is what anyone would want in a new product.”

UAE market
Speaking on his experience of the marine market in UAE, Abdulla reports the market as being stable, even during the pandemic. “It’s positive to see UAE boatbuilders getting more international attention than 10 to 15 years ago because buyers are realising the quality of yachts – both interior and exterior – on offer here,” he says. “The export market is growing at a rapid rate, particularly in Saudi Arabia which is adding to the demand in the UAE and shows no signs of slowing down over the next 10 years at least.”
“The UAE market is growing 10-15% year-on-year in all industries including commercial, pleasure and fishing, and we’re seeing an increase in customers who go on fishing trips and in offshore leisure wanting more thermal imaging cameras for safety reasons,” he adds. “The FLIR M300 models and mid-range cameras are becoming increasingly popular as customers recognise the added peace of mind they bring.” i. teledyneflir.com
