Yachting Pages has put several of the leading safety cases (and other associated products) to the test. The objective: to ascertain how each product performs and determine which one is best equipped to safely contain a lithium battery-induced fire.
Organisers have confirmed that the 35th Palm Beach International Boat Show and accompanying Superyacht Show are still set to go ahead, despite the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.
In a statement released by Informa, organisers have said that there are “no plans to cancel, postpone or move the show”.
The event, currently scheduled to take place from 26th–29th March, will see visiting yachts such as the 72-metre (236-foot) Tankoa Solo and 49-metre (161-foot) Trinity superyacht La Dea II.
The statement continued, “The safety and wellbeing of our staff, exhibitors, partners, attendees and members is paramount and we are continuing to monitor the latest developments regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) to understand any and all potential risks."
Organisers added that they are monitoring the situation and are “in close contact with local and state health departments”.
Further measures will be taken to prevent the spread of the virus, including the provision of “extra hand-sanitising stations” and “additional cleaning crews to keep all areas of the event clean and sanitary”.
“We will continually promote positive health tips to our entire community and should there be new developments, we will share this communication with our exhibitors, attendees and members immediately,” the organisers said.
