LR and DNV welcomed by British Superyacht

At British Superyacht, our core mission is to bring together the globally renowned quality and excellence of the superyacht industry around the British Isles. "Stronger Together in Leading the Industry," is not just a phrase; it’s a commitment. This commitment is strengthened with every new member who brings their expertise, innovation, and passion to our collective. It is with great excitement that we announce the addition of two great new members to British Superyacht, namely Lloyds Register (LR) and DNV.

The inclusion of these two leading classification societies marks a significant milestone for our community. They represent the very pinnacle of maritime safety, technology, and compliance, and their partnership with British Superyacht will undoubtedly elevate the standards for our entire membership. Their deep-seated expertise and global influence will be an invaluable asset as we continue to champion the British superyacht industry on the world stage.

Lloyds Register (LR), a name synonymous with trust and technical excellence, has been at the forefront of the marine and offshore industries for centuries. As a leading provider of classification and compliance services, LR offers a partnership approach to its clients,

helping them to improve performance across the entire ocean economy. From safely designing and constructing vessels to managing their operation and eventual decommissioning, LR's services are built on a foundation of deep technical knowledge and a relentless focus on safety.

What makes LR an ideal fit for our community is their forward-thinking approach to the industry's most pressing challenges. They are actively involved in the maritime energy transition, exploring innovative ship designs, and pioneering digital transformation. Their insights, shared through research programs and publications like their Horizons magazine, provide crucial knowledge that helps shape a safer, more sustainable future for yachting. By joining our network, LR brings their unparalleled professionalism and expertise directly to our members, fostering an environment of shared growth and knowledge.

Equally impactful is the arrival of DNV, another global leader in assurance and risk management. DNV's extensive portfolio of services, which includes certification, training,

and verification, spans a wide range of industries, with a particular emphasis on the maritime sector. Their commitment to helping companies achieve sustainable business performance and manage long-term risks aligns perfectly with our members' goals of excellence and endurance.

DNV’s work in the energy transition is particularly noteworthy, providing a valuable perspective on how to navigate the shift towards more sustainable operations. Their reports and forecasts on topics like Carbon Capture and Storage and the UK's energy transition demonstrate their dedication to guiding the industry through complex change. Furthermore, their involvement in setting and implementing international standards, such as those for AI management and innovation, highlights their role as a thought leader. The collaboration between DNV and our members will open up new avenues for innovation and strategic development, ensuring our industry remains at the cutting edge.

The addition of Lloyds Register and DNV to the British Superyacht family underscores the strength of our collective. Their presence enriches our member directory and reinforces our shared commitment to excellence and innovation. As we move forward, their expertise will be instrumental in helping our members navigate the complexities of a rapidly evolving industry, from new technologies and regulatory landscapes to the imperative of sustainability.

We are truly "Stronger Together" with the inclusion of these two exceptional organisations. We look forward to the collaborative opportunities that lie ahead and the positive impact they will have on our mission to lead the superyacht industry with quality and excellence. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Lloyds Register and DNV.
