Hosted by Water Revolution Foundation (WRF).
In this monumental session, Water Revolution Foundation will proudly introduce a transformative software solution developed to set a new standard in assessing and comparing the environmental performance of superyachts: the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI). Developed in collaboration with leading industry players and the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN), this innovative tool incorporates comprehensive environmental parameters to provide a deeper understanding of a yacht's true impact, offering a powerful decision support system for optimizing both new builds and upgrades to the existing fleet. YETI goes beyond a one-time rating — enabling users to understand, experiment, and continually improve their yachts' environmental performance. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a pivotal development for a future-proof yachting sector.
