Unveiling the 'Shipyard Panellists' at the British Superyacht Forum 2026
With anticipation building for the British Superyacht Forum 2026 on 13 October at Southampton’s prestigious Harbour Hotel & Spa, Ocean Village, we are delighted to introduce our headline session: the Shipyard Panellists.
Our dedicated Shipyard Panel gathers prominent shipyard executives, project directors, and construction leaders to confront the sector's most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities with an opportunity to discuss some interesting differences in shipyard makeup and offering and why these are attractive to the new type of owner.
Our panellists bring unparalleled perspective from the frontline of global new builds and heritage refits, offering delegates actionable insights into how today's shipyards are turning operational hurdles into benchmark-setting excellence.
British Superyacht is delighted to welcome:
Jo Assael - Marshall Islands Registry (Moderator)
Paris Baloumis - Oceanco
Pier Posthuma de Boer - Feadship
Luca Raumland - Lürssen
Tim Kershaw - Delta Marine

True to our mission of bringing together the globally renowned quality and excellence of the superyacht industry around the British Isles, this session exemplifies our core belief: we are Stronger Together in Leading the Industry. Whether you represent a management house, naval architecture studio, or supply-chain partner, understanding the future direction of shipyard operations is vital to steering future projects.
