Will Faimatea explains the

benefit of having your own

personal virtual ETO on hand

during a busy charter season

to save you a mountain of

headaches and down time

In the world of superyachts, details matter, and

faultless service is key. If the Airplay isn’t working

or the Wi-Fi on the sundeck is weak, guests will

notice and require it to be fixed, and fast. It’s these

types of system malfunctions, when having a technology

expert on speed dial who can quickly guide the crew

through a step-by-step solution, which make all the difference.

VIRTUAL ETO

Have you ever wished for someone to fix all your problems while

you peacefully sleep at night? Bond TM founder, Will Faimatea has,

which is why he launched our Virtual ETO Service in 2007. It was

created to provide remote support for superyachts without an

onboard AV/IT specialist and continues to deliver a much-needed

client service today.

From the start, Faimatea pioneered AV/IT Alarm and Monitoring

in the yachting industry. Bond’s 35+ engineers are primed for

the urgency and detail that superyachts require, offering support

to complement your Chief Engineers or ETO and a consistent,

broader knowledge base over the life of the vessel. With regular

reporting, we enable captains and owners to budget for upgrades

and plan ahead, helping to mitigate expensive and unexpected

costs.

Technology continues to advance at a rapid rate, but Bond engineers

are involved throughout all stages of a vast spectrum of yachts.

This means, from build consultancy through to operational support,

our specialist engineers apply the smartest technologies on the

market to factor in cost and time-saving tweaks.

FOLLOW-THE-SUN APPROACH

With strategically placed offices in Europe, the USA, South Africa

and Australia, Bond offers a true 24 hour-support service. Our

dedicated team of specialist engineers is on hand to provide

invaluable 24-hour telephone and online support, wherever you

are in the world.

DIVERSIFIED TALENT

Not all problems are what they first seem to be. A TV not working

can be caused by a glitch with the VSAT. An owner’s Zoom call

With regular reporting, we enable

captains and owners to budget

for upgrades and plan ahead,

helping to mitigate expensive and

unexpected costs

dropping out could be a bandwidth delegation problem. And the

AV might go off because the storage cabinet is overheating. Our

team of experts in Audio Visual, IT, Communications, HVAC, Cyber

& Security Systems and Navigation work together behind the

scenes to identify and rectify problems, quickly and efficiently.

ISM COMPLIANCE & CYBERSECURITY

A cyber risk assessment is the vital first step in identifying your

current cyber risk. Whether you’re addressing your general onboard

cybersecurity or need to comply with the latest regulations,

following industry best practice is a must. Many cyber-attacks

are unsophisticated and can easily be avoided by improving staff

understanding. With Cyber Risk Management now forming part

of the ISM code and data security falling under GDPR, cyber

risk awareness is a key feature of cybersecurity.

When working with IT, a holistic approach is best. Cybersecurity

affects all facets of the OT/IT equipment setup, so be sure you

have policies and procedures in place that reflect the highest

standard of safety while still being able to function daily. At

Bond, we can help you to build the secure environment you

need, from beginning to end.
