IDENTIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESSES TO ENHANCE THE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, OPERATION, AND END-OF-LIFE OF THE MOTOR YACHT ABOVE 24 METERS

摘要

Sustainable development is a continuing concern in the Superyacht Industry due to the pressure on not only minimizing environmental impact but also considering economic viability and social acceptability. It is possible to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of resource use in manufacture, operation and recycle by identifying the sustainable technologies at the design stage. However, there is a lack of a holistic method to measure sustainable performance over the life cycle of the motor yacht during the technologies selection. A Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA)based Sustainable Value Added (SVA) method has been developed to measure the sustainable performance for each technology using on the motor yacht over 24 meters. It is a new approach using the financial measure to aggregate data with existing economic terms to communicate with the investor with one language. This paper presents a systematic method and process to guide designer and owners to select and invest relatively sustainable solutions for the motor Superyacht.
