Ensure no pollutants<br />
end up overboard.<br />
Approved levels for oil<br />
in water discharge from<br />
bilges are 15ppm in oceans<br />
and coastal areas, and<br />
5ppm in PSSAs, areas<br />
which are increasingly<br />
popular to explore. Wave’s<br />
new sophisticated filter<br />
technology makes adhering<br />
to these levels easy. The<br />
Wave MiniBoss Oily Water<br />
Separator automatically<br />
removes all traces of<br />
pollutants to 15ppm or<br />
5ppm and is IMO, ABS and<br />
USCG Type Approved to<br />
MEPC.107(49). Compact<br />
and lightweight, it does<br />
not create waste oil. A<br />
monitor sets the required<br />
outfall quality with an 18<br />
month log of bilge pumping<br />
operations, essential<br />
to prove compliance if<br />
required. With more<br />
environmental awareness,<br />
using the latest filter<br />
technology everywhere on<br />
board – bilges, grey water,<br />
hotel services and even for<br />
rinse down water – makes<br />
it easy and affordable to<br />
operate sustainably.<br />
We take for granted<br />
energy intensity labels that<br />
are commonplace when<br />
we visit car dealerships or<br />
buy homes and household<br />
appliances. Surprisingly,<br />
the superyacht industry<br />
and wider boating<br />
sector still struggle<br />
with implementing such<br />
concepts. However,<br />
there is hope for best<br />
practices. As creators of<br />
the SEA Index superyacht<br />
CO2 benchmarking tool,<br />
we’ve been measuring<br />
energy intensity and<br />
carbon emissions since<br />
2020. As a non-profit,<br />
our mission is to assist<br />
buyers and charterers in<br />
making informed choices<br />
by selecting less energy<br />
intensive vessels. We<br />
provide CO2 certification<br />
for both new and existing<br />
yachts, ensuring credibility<br />
and transparency through<br />
independent verification<br />
by a class society (Lloyd’s<br />
Register) who issue the<br />
certificates on our behalf.<br />
Why are we truly<br />
committed towards<br />
greater sustainability?<br />
Simple, because the<br />
world is monitoring our<br />
credibility.<br />
Greece is amongst<br />
the top five countries in<br />
the world with the most<br />
superyacht owners and it<br />
has always had a strong<br />
international presence<br />
within the yachting world.<br />
Sea Alliance Group (SAG)<br />
recently expanded into<br />
Greece offering a range of<br />
services for this sector<br />
from our new Athenian<br />
Riviera offices. As a<br />
cruising destination,<br />
Greece continues to grow<br />
in popularity, however,<br />
Greece has the smallest<br />
amount of berths per km of<br />
coastline. This brings huge<br />
opportunities for marina<br />
management and being<br />
one of the only yachting<br />
companies in the world<br />
with an “in house” marina<br />
management company,<br />
SAG is participating<br />
in various exciting new<br />
tenders and developments.<br />
As a result, we are seeing<br />
increasing investment in<br />
the area and many service<br />
providers, such as SAG are<br />
supporting developments<br />
there and helping to<br />
bring the Greek yachting<br />
industry to the next level.<br />
Yes they can. In the past<br />
10 years ceramic coatings<br />
have evolved and with the<br />
development of our removal<br />
gel it means that vessels<br />
can have the coating<br />
removed successfully prior<br />
to a paint job. Our removal<br />
gel dissolves the ceramic<br />
coating revealing the<br />
original paint beneath. We<br />
have successfully removed<br />
many coatings from<br />
vessels prior to a paint job<br />
without any problems for<br />
various painting companies<br />
around the world. Not all<br />
ceramic coatings need<br />
to be removed prior to<br />
a painting programme.<br />
It is only the thicker 10<br />
micron coating which has<br />
been designed to be extra<br />
durable and which is applied<br />
in the exhaust areas of the<br />
hull for extra protection<br />
from soot and exhaust<br />
staining that requires<br />
the removal process. Our<br />
thinner coatings which<br />
have been designed for the<br />
superstructure and nonhigh<br />
ware areas of the hull<br />
do not need the removal.<br />
