Italian Yacht Masters presents "Steering to Green," a project dedicated to sustainable initiatives. It showcases IYM's commitment to sustainability setting an example for the entire yachting industry.
Italian Yacht Masters for Sustainability
IYM works closely with its sponsors and member captains with the goal of creating a network of knowledge and sustainable practices that can be adopted on a large scale, improving the nautical industry and contributing to the preservation of the marine environment.<br><br> Through Steering to Green, IYM also leverages the testimonies given at Blue Economy conferences, where key industry figures share best cases and sustainable solutions.
Potable Water Dispensers
Aboard a superyacht, potable water dispensers are a key solution to ensure both quality and sustainability. Actually, a dispenser can save up to 35,000 plastic bottles annually. Through an engaging Q&A session, several Italian Yacht Masters captains delved into the technical aspects of water dispensers, addressing topics such as installation, maintenance, energy efficiency, supply capacity, and, of course, costs.
Sustainable fouling solutions
Italian Yacht Masters has the mission to spread sustainable solutions in the yachting industry.
One of the most sensitive topics concerns the maintenance phase, particularly the issue of fouling—the accumulation of marine organisms on yacht hulls—and the critical importance of underwater hull treatments to prevent it.
Boero Group, has introduced an innovative solution called Magellan 630 Extra: an advanced, sustainable, and certified antifouling product designed according to strict protocols to protect both people and the marine environment. This product minimizes friction during navigation, resulting in fuel savings and reduced CO₂ emissions, all while meeting eco-friendly certification standards.
