The annual Superyacht UK Technical Seminar returns to London on 18 April 2023, alongside British Marine’s London Luxury Afloat boat show.

The SYUK Technical seminar, now in its 12th year, welcomes industry professionals from within the superyacht world to come together to discuss sector-specific topics.

With a focus on sustainability within the sector and the future of the superyacht industry, the upcoming seminar offers an agenda of industry updates and panel discussions, alongside a networking reception sponsored by Laurent Giles Naval Architects and entrance to London Luxury Afloat as part of the ticket price.

Organisers say there will be updates on important industry matters such as regulatory changes, including a REG code update, discussions on superyacht sustainability challenges, covering a hydrogen-hybrid case study, the importance of Life Cycle Analysis (LCAs) to support effective sustainable choices and an alternative fuel panel discussion, culminating in a discussion looking at the drive to sustainability and the hidden risks.

Chaired by Francesca Conn from Hill Dickinson, this final session will look at how the hidden risks associated with the increased use of lithium-ion (Li) batteries are now causing the superyacht industry to look at the design and operation of vessels.
