Commercial Solutions Applied to today’s Mega Yachts

Reputation is everything when you own or operate an exotic one of kind Mega Yacht. It is also a well known fact that yacht sizes continue to grow larger while at the same time owners and charterers are interested in visiting more remote exotic ports that cannot be accessed with a large commercial cruise vessel. Groundings will occur causing damage and potentially disastrous economic impacts due to expensive repair costs and lost charter time (or even worse cancelled charters). High propeller noise, or even worse, heavy vessel vibrations, caused by damaged propellers, could ruin reputations of vessels. The global cruise industry has understood this fact for many years and has relied on the services of the Subsea Solutions Alliance to provide expert repair services on location anywhere around the world. From the Galapagos to the Micronesian Islands, the expert propeller technicians with their specialized equipment repair these damaged propellers on‐site typically within hours without embarrassing delays or inconvenience.
