Burgess, a contributor to our very first issue, reports that mega-yacht owners are turning to eco-measures. The emphasis on the marine condition encompasses many features, including: adopting new technologies with propulsion to ensure a cleaner operation including a drive towards the greater use of fuel cells in the not too distant future; the filtering of exhausts, waste heat recovery; the treatment of waste; and more solar technology being adopted in yachting for power generation. As a simple but global example, single-use plastics are avoided as much as possible. In terms of new construction, Burgess sees the key focus will be on efficiency in all respects including energy, effort, material, money and time.
