Sail-World.com : Superyacht Singapore Assoc to host first Asian Superyacht Conference

Superyacht Singapore Assoc to host first Asian Superyacht Conference

'Expect more of these in Asia before long - when the support facilities are in place.'    MIAA

The Superyacht Singapore Association (SSA) has today announced it is organizing the First Annual Asian Superyacht Industry Conference to be held on the 13-15 October 2009 in Singapore.

The whole of the yachting world is looking to Asia as the next great cruising ground and we are seeing a steady growth of both visiting yachts and privately owned yachts in the region.

However, Asia is behind the traditional hot spots of the Mediterranean and Caribbean when it comes to infrastructure and facilities and the prime objective of the conference is to identify what the region needs to do to set an effective agenda to create a sustainable superyacht industry.

Key issues to be addressed include:

Identifying the key infrastructure required, in terms of marinas and service facilities, to support a growing amount of superyacht traffic

An analysis of current superyacht building capability in Asia and to whom these superyachts are being sold

An insight into the almost unknown and stunning cruising grounds in Asia

Understanding how to successfully grow the superyacht charter business in Asia

An overview of Government regulation and superyacht activism in the region

An insight into the mind of the Asian superyacht owner and an
owner's perspective on requirements of a superyacht

'We are delighted to be organizing this inaugural superyacht conference in
Singapore' commented SSA Executive Director Jean-Jacques Lavigne. 'Our
objective is to gather all the important players from Asia as well as
interested parties from the rest of the world to push the agenda to really
open up and grow the superyacht industry in Asia.'

The two day conference will include keynote presentations and a mixture of
round table discussion groups designed to open up commercial opportunities
and create new international partnerships.

Simon Turner, Managing Director of Iconovista and SSA member, who is helping
to put the conference together, adds 'it is very exciting to be able to hold
a first event of this nature. We aim to ensure that this event creates
commercial opportunities for attendees and opens up new projects that
companies in the industry from around the world can become involved in.'

A full programme will be released in the coming weeks and a number of
speakers have already confirmed their participation. The SSA invites anyone
who feels they can add to the conference to submit details of any papers
that they would like to present.
