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.
The 2018 edition of the World Superyacht Awards took place on 19th May in Florence, Italy, duly recognising the top yachts, yards and individuals in the industry.
The Boat International World Superyacht Awards highlights “remarkable ingenuity and innovation” in the design, engineering and construction of luxury seafaring vessels.
A panel of 22 judges – predominantly comprising current or former superyacht owners – pored over a vast selection of sailing and motor yachts, eventually deciding on winners for each of the 18 categories. Winners were presented with their awards during a ceremony at the Palazzo Vecchio attended by owners and key figures from the industry.
