More on the topic:
Who is responsible for the safety of a private yacht? Does it really matter, they’re just little boats right?
Well, they used to be, but now private yachts are some of the most sophisticated, internationally operating vessels afloat and responsibility for their safe operation remains a grey area.
Join us this March for our monthly maritime briefing, as we explain the difference between a private yacht and a commercial one. As an expert in the field, Adam will explain the regulatory differences between the two yachts and delve into who currently takes responsibility for the safety of the vessels…and who should.
