Intelligence for Maritime Consultants, Surveyors & Auditors
Regulation, jurisdiction, flag state, class, sanctions, tax and market intelligence — the professional research surface for the people the industry calls.
Why this role is under-served
Consultants, surveyors and auditors are hired for judgement — but that judgement has to rest on complete, sourced evidence across regulation, market and technology. Missing one circular, one sanctions update or one class change undermines the deliverable and the fee.
The signals tracked continuously
IMO, MCA, MLC, MARPOL, SOLAS, ISM, ISPS, CE and flag-state regulatory activity.
Class society rule changes, survey schedule updates and equipment certifications.
Sanctions and ownership screening developments affecting yacht structures.
Market, brokerage, charter and refit signals relevant to valuation and advisory work.
Technology developments — propulsion, cyber, connectivity, ESG and insurance.
Legal and jurisdictional developments across the major yachting flags and hubs.
The cost of chasing information yourself
The current alternative is expensive manual research per engagement — reading authority sites, sanctions lists, class publications and industry press for each project. It is billable, but it is not scalable, and it exposes the firm to what was missed. Superyacht Intelligence is the always-on research desk that never signs off.

A structured daily feed across regulation, market, technology and jurisdictional change.
Search and filter by topic, region, date, flag, class and yacht segment.
