Hi Paul, thank you for the Video. How do you see the topic of this, in case of a conversion to a yacht, becoming a major conversion and therfore having to comply with all latest rules and regulation? Looking forward to your opinion on this.

[@ExpeditionYachts]

We are looking at bringing it up to DNV class now.Much of the original machinery and systems were DNV class and they can hopefully be 'grandfathered in". However, it is currently operating as a commercial vessel in Finland and so it is already in compliance with many rules and regs and is insured.
