The role of a superyacht engineer: Life on board

With the variety of on-board systems and equipment on today’s superyachts, engineering requirements are almost limitless. From maintaining the engine and generator, to installing a new water maker or air-conditioning unit, both on-board engineers and shore-based engineering companies are required to have an extensive and complex skill set when working within the superyacht industry.

What’s required of the engineering staff?

Traditionally, the engineering department is responsible for the yacht’s safety, performance and efficiency, handling all mechanical and electrical operations on board. They’re responsible not only for the engines, but also for the electrics, plumbing and performing general maintenance on all other equipment and machinery, such as refrigerators, air conditioning, tenders and Jet Skis.

Although engineers are required to have the knowledge to perform such technical tasks, it’s usual for an engineer to tend to more trivial matters day-to-day. He or she is responsible for just about everything on the yacht that could break and will need to be fixed.

This can include fixing blocked toilets, trouble-shooting false alarms, repairing personal items including laptops and phones for the guests, maintaining the toys, and getting the satellite TV to work. It’s therefore important that today’s superyacht engineers are a jack-of-all-trades, familiar with the comprehensive range of the equipment found on board.

Another important part of the role will be being able to transition yourself well between engine room work and interacting with the guests.

The engineering department on board

The number of engineering staff on board will depend on the size of the yacht: Smaller yachts may rely on the captain and outsourced engineering companies to complete the majority of jobs that arise, but, as yachts start to get above the 20-metre (65-foot) range, they will usually have a dedicated engineer aboard as part of the crew.

For the larger superyachts, staff may include a chief engineer, with a second or third engineer working underneath them, as well as possibly an ETO (electrical technical officer) and other junior roles.

On some yachts, there may also be a duel-deck engineer to help out with the deck and engineering jobs, and apprentices can even be hired in some instances. Superyachts over 100m may even have specialist tender engineers on board just for the tenders, pushing the engineering department as high as five, six or seven members.

Engineering jobs on board a superyacht

Chief engineer:  A highly respected role with good pay, the chief engineer teaches and supervises other engineers/deck staff and all engineering and electrical operations. On smaller yachts, there may just be one engineer in control of everything – a wide-ranging job, offering plenty of experience.

Second/third engineer: Working under the chief engineer, the second/third engineers will be expected to have a wide knowledge and will work across all/most aspects of engineering on board, depending on the other engineering staff.

Electrical technical officer (ETO): Responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of all electronic, computer, audio/visual and communications equipment, ensuring its efficient operation. On a large superyacht these systems are likely to be numerous.

Electrician: Similar to the role of an ETO, taking care of all electrical circuits on board, circuit breakers and switches, lighting, batteries, etc.

Duel-deck engineer: A cross between a deckhand and an engineer, duties involve deck jobs as well as some engineering-type responsibilities, depending on the yacht and its needs.

Assistant engineer: An entry-level position on larger yachts that offers a great opportunity for experience and learning, assisting all other members of the engineering department with their work.

Tender engineer: On the very large superyachts, there may be positions for tender engineers to look after and use the tenders and other water-sports equipment when needed.

How can a shore-side engineering company help?

Specialist superyacht engineering companies are always available for assistance, when the on-board team is in need of extra

When demand gets too high or the jobs too specialist, shore-side engineering companies are always available for assistance. As mentioned above, the role of the superyacht engineer is continually expanding, and this is no different to the role of the superyacht engineering company.

In fact, many superyacht engineering companies consist of ex-superyacht engineers and crew, so they are used to fixing a range of different problems. They are often asked to help with unusual requests that the engineering staff on board cannot solve, as well as standard requests for parts etc.

Mike Dellar of Yacht Engineering Solutions (YES) commented, “Our target audience is the entire yachting industry here in Mallorca, from smaller sailing and motor yachts through to the biggest superyachts, if we can offer a service they need we will be there. We often receive the criticism that we are doing too much, but we fill a niche area, an area that the specialists don’t meet; those problems that no one can find a solution to or there is no solution on the market.”

How Do I Become A Yacht Engineer – Qualifications and Requirements

If you are looking for a career as a yacht engineer, we’ve compiled a breakdown of the qualifications and requirements needed to start out, insight into the job day-to-day and how to effectively land your dream position.

What Does a Yacht Engineer do?

Depending on type, size and usage of the yacht, the Engineering department (be that a Sole Engineer or a department of 6 or more Engineers) are responsible for the operation, maintenance and repair of all mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic and in some cases, structural systems and appendages found on board a modern yacht and superyacht.

Skills Needed to be a Successful Yacht Engineer

The role requires a keen eye for planning and organisation, as planned maintenance (carrying out preventative and explorative maintenance before failures occur) is a very important aspect in modern marine engineering. Skills in project management, resource allocation and time management are very desirable in addition to extensive and diverse technical ability. Many yachts employ software programs to aid a methodical approach to planned and preventative maintenance and to record failures and repairs as they occur as well as keeping an accurate inventory of spares held on board. Being able to efficiently use such software programs efficiently would be highly advantageous. Examples of these asset management programs are  AMOS  and  IDEA .

Challenges as an Engineer Onboard a Yacht

Engineering on a superyacht has particular challenges as some yachts (particularly charter yachts) can be very busy, meaning a very fast paced and demanding environment. High expectations from owners and guests in regards to service and entertainment also puts a keen onus on engineering departments to keep all systems working to minimise or eliminate down time and negative impacts on the itinerary. Of course, when the yacht is at sea, many of these systems are safety critical and break downs and failures offshore bring a whole new set of challenges and risks.

Which qualifications do I need to get in to superyacht engineering?

There are really two main entry routes in to yacht and superyacht engineering which follow two distinct certification pathways – entering from commercial shipping, or working through yacht-based certification routes.

Commercial Shipping Route of Training for Yacht Engineering

The Commercial Shipping route most commonly begins with a sponsored cadetship with a shipping company working in partnership with maritime training provider. Candidates must apply to one of a number of cadetship schemes and if accepted will undertake usually 3 years of study and work experience on the sponsoring companies’ vessels, culminating very often in the Officer of the Watch (Engineering) or ‘EOOW’ ticket and usually either an HND or BSc Degree in Marine Engineering or similar.

Once the EOOW certificate is in hand, candidates can be considered suitably qualified and experienced for junior engineering officer roles on large yachts. A common first yachting job for EOOW qualified candidates is 3 rd  Engineer. The main advantage of a cadetship is that seatime is gained quickly and on vessels over 3000 GT, allows for a ticket which is ‘unlimited’ by tonnage as all yacht engineering certificates are. This opens the door to working on the world’s largest mega and superyachts.

Also, the sponsoring company pays for all courses and examinations which would be extremely expensive if self-sponsored, and very often a small training bursary is paid on top (some as much as €11,000 / year). The biggest disadvantage is that candidates who ultimately want to work on superyachts will have to commit to different types of vessel for the duration of the cadetship – these are likely to be chemical tankers or containerships, but most of the large luxury cruise ship companies also offer cadetships which is in some ways closer to the yachting industry. One facilitator of maritime cadetships is the Warsash Maritime Academy –  see here .

Yacht Certification Route of Training for Engineering

This route is made up of 6 key certificates:

The Approved Engine Course (AEC)  – often seen as the base-minimum for superyacht engineers who wish to work on yachts over 24m LOA.  Usually a 4-day course covering the theory of compression-ignition (diesel) engines and includes a large amount of practical workshops.  View the full syllabus for the Approved Engine Course (AEC) . One common provider of AEC courses is Bluewater Yachting in Antibes –  see here .

The Marine Engine Operators Licence (MEOL)  – This is the first certificate in the yacht route that requires sea service, specific shore based learning and an oral exam.  View further details on MSN 1859 here .

Y4 Engineer  – The first of what is commonly referred to as the ‘Y Tickets’ – Y4 allows engineers to work as Chief Engineer on yachts between 200 and 500GT and up to 1500Kw in propulsive power.

Y3 Engineer  – Allows engineers to work as Chief Engineer on yachts up to 3000GT and up to 3000KW in propulsive power.

Y2 Engineer  – Allows engineers to work as Chief Engineer on yachts up to 3000GT and up to 6000KW in propulsive power.

Y1 Engineer  – Allows engineers to work as Chief Engineer on yachts up to 3000GT and up to 9000KW in propulsive power.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency have simplified the Y ticket structure however, and  page 19 of MIN 524  provides a simple conversion table from Y tickets to the new standard –  Small Vessel (or SV) tickets.

Some course providers are now offering yachting cadetships – one example is this one provided by  the UKSA in Cowes on the Isle of Wight .

How are Engineering Departments Structured on Yachts?

Engineering departments vary widely according to the type, size and usage of the yacht in question, but most large yachts will have some or all of the following roles on board:

Chief Engineer (or Sole Engineer on smaller yachts with only one engineer) The Chief Engineer is in overall command of all Engineering operations on board and is the senior advisor to the Captain on all matters related to the condition and serviceability of the yachts engines, propulsion, ancillaries and hotel systems. Although Captains always retain supreme responsibility for the safety of the vessel, all the best captains will work very closely with the Chief Engineer and take heed of any advice and requests they make – after all, they are highly trained, experienced and knowledgeable subject matter experts. Chief Engineers are responsible for ensuring that the Yacht is in all respects compliant with the relevant laws and regulations governing the serviceability of the yachts systems and equipment. They are pivotal in ensuring the yacht passes any relevant flag state, port state or P&I club surveys and inspections.

1 st  Engineer Some of the very largest yachts afloat employ a 1 st  Engineer similar to those employed on Cruise Ships. If a 1 st  Engineer is employed, they will take operational (day-to-day) command of the engineering team, supervising engineering tasks and allocating work as appropriate. This allows the Chief Engineer to concentrate on the large amount of paperwork and business management necessary on board a very large yacht.

2 nd  Engineer The more common understudy to the Chief Engineer, the 2 nd  Engineer often has responsibility for Engine Room maintenance and will take on many of the more challenging maintenance and repair tasks as required. The 2 nd  Engineer acts as a supervisor for more junior crew, and in some cases will be able to deputise for the Chief Engineer if required.

3 rd  Engineer The 3 rd  Engineer will have specific duties, which may include maintenance of the ship’s lifeboats, tenders, jet skis, toys and deck equipment like winches, davits and hatchways. Very often 3 rd s are responsible for interior maintenance. Again, areas of responsibility vary from yacht to yacht.  3 rd  Engineers are often focused on gaining the requisite experience and ‘seatime’ to progress to 2 nd  Engineer.

4 th  Engineer The most junior engineering officer on board, the 4 th  is very often new to Marine Engineering and is learning the trade.  4 th  Engineers are often engaged in structured learning programs, or at least splitting their time between phases at sea learning on the job with phases ashore attending courses. Again, this can vary widely across the industry.

Motorman A junior, but important role found almost exclusively on large yachts in excess of around 100m, the motorman (not gender-specific!) is responsible for the operation and basic maintenance of the yachts main engines and engine room systems. They may assist in starting and stopping large engines and generators, operating switch panels under the supervision of an officer or senior engineer and reporting anything unusual. Engine room cleanliness and order will be an important part of the role.

Wiper / Oiler On the largest yachts, especially those operating medium speed diesels or older conventional ship propulsion technology, a wiper and oiler may be employed in addition to the above with a focused role keeping engines and machinery spaces clean, and keeping greased bearings fed or keeping open rockers oiled etc.  An ability to access confined spaces is often useful, and a keen eye for cleanliness in bilges and bunded tanks etc is often a must.

How To Find a Job as a Superyacht Engineer

Once you have the relevant qualifications, then comes the time to start looking for your first position. Of course, word of mouth and personal connections made through training are a fantastic way to gain knowledge on current positions available however, also consider the following:

Dockwalking – travel to one of the main superyacht hubs like Palma, Antibes or La Ciotet and walk the docks asking yachts if they need engineering crew. Make sure you take a proper CV, written references and go well presented. Be polite and be prepared for a good deal of face-to-face rejection, however don’t take it personally.

Use a reputable crew agent such as wilsonhalligan who is MLC 2006 compliant, vastly experienced and a well respected crew recruitment agency in the industry who does the dock walking for you!

How Much Does it Cost to Design a Yacht, Engineering Rates, & Pricing for Companies?

•   3D Modeling , CAD Design , Product Design
•   last updated Feb 10, 2023

This post tells you more about how much it costs to design a yacht, engineering rates, and company pricing. Designing a yacht is complicated; even an experienced naval architect may need six months to more than a year to produce a complete ready-to-build yacht design. A yacht should be an attractive, comfortable, efficient, safe, and effective means of water transportation. While the aesthetic aspect is critical, the exterior design process is simple compared to the marine engineering and mechanical design services required for the internal systems. The outer shell appearance will also affect the propulsion, electronics, stability, structural rigidity, plumbing, and hydrodynamics.

How Much Does it Cost to Design a Yacht?

The cost for a yacht “design only” work ranges from $3,000 to $30,000, depending on the plan’s details. Generally, the design cost of a yacht should not exceed 15% – 20% of the overall build. However, some small boats with sophisticated onboard equipment and luxury features require the assistance of a more experienced engineering design expert than their larger counterparts. The money you spend on the design may account for a significant percentage of the overall cost.

Fee structures

A naval architect may use one of the standard pricing structures below.

* Fixed commission

The fixed commission is a set percentage of the cost of the completed yacht. One issue with a fixed pricing structure is the owner’s lack of project specifications. A naval architect needs a comprehensive, well-defined description of a yacht concept and an elaborate design contract to consider fixed commission an option. The precise contract specifications restrict the client’s ability to demand design revisions. As far as marine and yacht design services are concerned, a slight interior layout or mechanism change can alter the entire design approach.

RELATED:  Accessible design: better products for everyone

Every modification to the original concept must come with a formal “change order” and a separate fee for renegotiation. As a result, the fixed percentage fee structure can be complex. The total cost of a completed yacht remains unknown until the project concludes. Factors such as the contractor’s experience, builders’ qualifications, and labor can significantly affect the price. A fixed commission is often an overly expensive pricing structure for the owner.

Naval architecture design companies have to cover contingencies during the construction process, which means there has to be a generous margin in the initial estimate. Although the percentage is a predetermined number, the commission is impossible to determine during the design phase.

* Hourly rate

For design-only work, an hourly rate pricing structure is preferable. An experienced naval architect knows how much time it will take to create a design based on the rough sketches or concepts provided by the client. The more detailed the design requested the more accurate the estimation will be. Most yacht designers (naval architects or marine engineers) charge an hourly rate for their services. According to the USA Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the average pay rate is as follows:

Note: BLS estimates as of May 2021 (latest available data)

RELATED: Finite element analysis costs, consulting company rates & engineering services pricing

* A combination of fixed commission and hourly rate

A naval architect may offer a flexible pricing structure using a combination of a fixed commission and an hourly rate. The design phase has to be divided into two stages for the method. An hourly rate fee is used during the first or preliminary design work, in which the client can request changes as necessary. The client and architect determine the yacht specifications, including the layout, dimensions, materials, stability, weights, hydrostatics, and performance. Regardless of numerous modifications, the architect is paid by the hour. A combined approach allows the client customizations while fairly compensating the architect.

For example, the architect’s rate is $80 per hour for a 37-foot-long yacht design. The architect can finish the job in 140 hours for a total design cost of $11,200 without client alterations . With alterations, the job increases to 280 hours for a total cost of $22,400 . A fixed commission applies as soon as the preliminary design is completed. Using the information accumulated during the first phase, the client may want to switch to a fixed fee structure. A percentage-based fee is necessary when the client is ready to begin the construction process or uses the same architect to oversee the progress.

Third-party consultant fee

A naval architect may need to hire third-party consultants to help with the project. The consulting fees range from $50 to $80 per hour , depending on the job’s complexity.

Basic Yacht Design Plan

A basic yacht design by a naval architect should include the outboard profile, deck layout, general arrangement of equipment, and at least one mode of construction. All the drawings for those plans are made for the client. In some cases, 3d product modeling services are required where the architect provides a 3D model of the hull shape (solid or surface) as a digital file. The outline includes details to quote labor and materials for the yacht’s specifications, i.e., stability and hydrostatics. A complete yacht design set contains construction drawings for all parts of the boat and information on building the structure. Electrical and plumbing schematics are provided as suggested by consultants specializing in the fields.

Comprehensive yacht design plan

A complete package pays for itself during the construction phase. A comprehensive yacht design plan provides all construction details, including the engine specification and shafting installation procedure. Hardware pieces, weight estimate, and structural stability calculation required for the build are specified. Mylar patterns are also for the deck, hull, keel, rudder, and bulkheads. A contractor needs as much detail as possible to ensure the yacht floats, performs as intended, and operates safely. The basic package offers little detail for construction, and the builders will have difficulty developing the configuration. Clarifying details will cost the client money during the project and in the long run. 

Set a budget and stick to it

Naval architects and marine engineering design experts can design yachts given client budgets to compensate for the work and cover overhead expenses. With unlimited financial resources, the client can have the most luxurious ship in the world. Prices can be exceedingly high, especially if the client wants personalized yacht designs. Clients determine a budget and consider the cost of the design and the construction itself. Once a budget has been established, consult a naval architect to understand what is technically and financially plausible.

RELATED: How your company can save money with 3D models

You will start with the initial consultation fee and finish with the delivery of the final design documents. However, some clients want to hurry the process and push to start building the yacht when the design is partially completed. As a result, the architect and the builders must play catch-up in the subsequent development. 

Cost of materials

The expense during the design phase goes to engineering design services , mainly to determine what should be installed and how the construction should be done. There is no cost for any material, such as paper/printing. A single drawing is roughly $1,500 to $3,000 , and a complete design requires more than just several drawings. If the client also wants a design for full-size patterns of Mylar, there will be an additional fee for the materials. The cost of paper and printing is tiny compared to the design work, but Mylar and plotter ink cartridges are not cheap. The architect will bill the client for the items.

Custom yacht design by size 

There aren’t many small custom boats for a reason. A small or large boat may require the same design fee since the construction cost increases with size. The design cost for a small ship is disproportionately high, and a large vessel can absorb the architect’s fee quite easily. During the design process, the time and engineering details cost around the same for 28-feet and 38-feet yachts.

A naval architect exerts the same effort to complete either length, and the extra length does not translate to a higher difficulty level. Sometimes, it is more challenging to design a small custom boat due to space constraints. Assuming a custom (personalized) build is not a factor, a client can use an already-made design from a builder for a small fee. The naval architect who created the design retains intellectual property ownership unless the client purchases it.

The typical yacht design process

The design process of a yacht goes through six stages:

• Design Concept
• Preliminary Design
• Construction Quotes
• Final Design

For a “design-only” work, the process excludes the last two stages: Construction and Delivery.

Design concept

The very first idea of a concept lies in the client’s mind. A client knows a few general specifications about the yacht, whether the overall dimension, power or engine, shape, and materials. Sometimes the client only knows what they want to do once the boat is ready, for example cruising the world or living in the expanses of the seas. Quick research into the boat market, both new and used, should give a glimpse of the average price. The client will finally call a mechanical CAD drafting and design professional or naval architect to consult about the design and inform the professional about the realistic budget range.

RELATED: How do engineers evaluate different design ideas?

Based on the description provided, the naval architect returns to the client to offer sketches and an estimate for the design work. Once the client approves a specific design, the subsequent discussion revolves around the pricing structure. An hourly rate is recommended at this point, considering the possibility of design revisions. The client and the architect sign the contract as the employer and the employee. 

Preliminary design

The main objective of the preliminary design phase is to determine if the concept is technically viable. A naval architect does all the calculations to ensure everything works as intended. Minor alterations in the specifications are not uncommon. Equipment specifications and construction methods come next. A 3D modeling design company helps determine the design’s stability and hydrostatics. The preliminary design data should also include power requirements and speed estimates. Another calculation limits the engine size and propeller, given the available space.

RELATED: 5 Tips for successful product design

With equipment and engine installed, the naval architect considers the boat’s weight to pinpoint the center of gravity and how they affect buoyancy. Although the naval architect uses a three-dimensional model, the preliminary design documents are likely comprised of two-dimensional sketches annotated with construction specifications . The supporting documents include power calculation, speed prediction, stability curve, and the expected weight capacity. There is no interior layout except photos of existing boats for design ideas.

At this stage, the client has not discussed it with a builder. An incomplete design document doesn’t include every structural detail necessary to build a yacht. It may not have an electrical schematic, plumbing lines configuration, a definitive list of equipment, or the desired finish level. The best time to talk with a builder is when the final design documents are ready.

RELATED: Understanding CAD services: from 2D drafting to 3D conversions

Final design

Following approval for the preliminary design, the naval architect begins the bulk of the work. A final design includes all the details builders need to construct the yacht. The outer shell of the boat is drawn as a three-dimensional surface model. It is a technical drawing to help define the mathematical values of the yacht’s exterior and some interior features. Cut edges of the deck and hull are visible in an exploded model view. Based on the same drawing, the naval architect creates two-dimensional construction plans.

Most builders love to work on a design containing as much information as possible. Some appreciate a minimum number of drawings and begin the construction using only major structural plans. They can decide the level of detail on the finished yacht. A client may ask an architect to include 2D electrical drafting services and plumbing configurations, but the professional must hire consultants. If the schematics are not in the final design drawings, the builders will produce them. The architect usually configures the primary electrical wiring and panels for a large yacht project. 

RELATED: Cad Crowd’s automobile design freelancers are top notch

If the yacht measures at least 60 feet long and is made of aluminum or steel, the only viable way to complete the final design is with CAD software. The internal structure of the yacht is drawn in 3D to expose the metal pieces required for the construction. Annotation is mandatory because the plates come in varying dimensions, numbered and referenced for the cutting process.

A client may require a 3D architectural rendering expert to provide a 3D rendering showcasing the finished boat as a digital mockup. The naval architect has to hire another professional 3D render artist to do the job. A quality rendering may cost from $3,000 to $10,000 per image .

RELATED: 3D Rendering Costs & 3D Visualization Prices for Firms

Additional design services

A client hires a naval architect or marine engineer to complete the design phase. The naval or marine architect may need assistance from electrical or structural engineers, but the third-party consultants are not directly communicating with the client. The naval architect can help the client seek bids from contractors and subsequently oversee the construction. Another agreement is in order if these services are not specified in the original design contract. Additional services come at an additional cost.

Yacht Engineer Training Courses

MCA Superyacht / SV Engineer training for vessels up to 9000kW and 3000GT

Yacht / SV Engineer Training Overview

Although there are different training routes and licensing authorities/countries under which engineers may qualify to work on superyachts, a common, broadly accepted route is the MCA Engineer Small Vessel Training Route. The MCA recently changed its engineering qualification structure in order to simplify the number and level of qualifications across the industry. They have pulled together pre-existing qualifications, leading to certificates of competency (CoC) restricted to yachts (and other small vessels) only. This single generic qualification is now referred to as " Engineer Officer Small Vessel Certificate of Competency" .

Please consult a recognized training provider before booking any training courses and view the "Engineer Officer Small Vessel of Competency" Marine Information note, found on the MCA website.

Find info, requirements and links to yacht engineer training centres for:

• Junior / Assistant Engineer

• Chief Engineer Officer < 9000kW

Junior / Assistant Engineer:

• An STCW : EVERY crew member onboard must hold a valid STCW
• An ENG1 Medical Certificate : EVERY crew member onboard must hold a valid ENG1
• AEC 1: The Approved Engine Course 1 is an entry-level qualification for the MCA engineering training schedule and is regarded as the first step on the ladder. It is generally a 5-day / 30-hour course that aims to provide candidates with practical basic hands-on training and theoretical knowledge of diesel engines. The main intention of this course is to teach the knowledge to serve in an ENTRY LEVEL capacity in the engineering department or for a crew member primarily working in another department to assist with engineering functions, for example, a deck/engineer. Holding an AEC certificate will allow you to be a chief engineer on a yacht over 24m and less than 200 Gross Tons or act as an assistant engineer on vessels over 200 GT up to 60NM from a safe haven.
• AEC 2:  The Approved Engine Course II follows on from AEC I knowledge. It contains a more practical element when compared to the AEC I. This course has been designed so that engineering qualifications are transferable between different industry sectors such as yachts, workboats, tugs, fishing vessels and so on and there will no longer be offshore limits.

The AEC is your gateway ticket into becoming an engineer, it is, therefore, essential to hold this qualification, gain sea time and work on your training record book (TRB) in order to progress in the engine room.

About the Engineering Department

The engineering department aboard a yacht is essential to keeps things running. Working in this department requires a strong mechanical acumen, troubleshooting skills and the ability to maintain an immaculate engine room. Unlike in the commercial sector, engineers are often involved in docking procedures and guest water sport activities.

This department is responsible for the following aspects of the yacht operation:

• all engineering system operations and maintenance
• electronics & audio-visual
• air conditioning
• sanitation and environmental control
• engine room safety management (ISM)
• planned maintenance coordination (PMP)

The developmental track for a superyacht engineer is linear and involves specific certifications based on technical knowledge, in addition to experience at sea working on certain size engines. This career is suited for individuals with strong problem solving skills and that enjoy "tinkering". Junior engineers work closely with other engineers or captains to gain a basic understanding of the systems onboard. Although they may not have a license upon joining the vessel, the AEC license has minimal. Any person interested in working in the engine room in any capacity should consider investing in this basic certification.

As an engineer builds knowledge and time in the engine room, the numbers of systems they work on and gain understanding of will increase. To ensure constant progression, it is essential to accrue experience and time in the engine room, which will allow continuation of further licensing. The combination of hands-on learning from a senior engineer and technical education courses are compulsory to advance to a position as second engineer.

A second engineer is the chief engineer’s right hand and dependability is paramount. In this position, you have a good working knowledge of all yacht systems. At this level, you can complete basic maintenance and repair independently as well as effectively assist the chief on advanced projects. Your duties will also include working with outside vendors and contractors.

A chief engineer is fully accountable for the entirety of the engine room and safety aboard the yacht. The position requires leadership and strong management skills in addition to technical expertise. As the size of the yacht increases, so does the number of engineers on board, complexity of systems and scope of engineering projects that require detailed time and fiscal oversight.

Career Path

Chief engineer unlimited, chief y1 (<3000gt < 9000kw), chief y2 (<3000gt < 3000kw), chief y3 (<500gt < 3000kw), chief y4 (<200gt < 1500kw), 2nd unlimited, 2nd (<3000gt <6000kw), 2nd (<3000gt <3000kw), 2nd (<500gt <3000kw), oow engineer (meol), oow engineer (aec), electronics engineer (eto), junior engineer (unlicensed).

We pride ourselves on our efficiency; we will establish your needs/ diagnose your problems as quickly as possible, provide you with a solution and be on our way. We realise that you do not want us onboard any longer than absolutely necessary as you may have guests onboard or you have a busy schedule & need to be underway.

We offer a 24 hour 7 days a week service because we realise the needs of the industry having worked in it ourselves, so we do not have set hours as such, we will come to your yacht night or day weekday or weekend.

We are vastly experienced having worked in the ship/yacht building industry for over 30 years working on many different types & sizes of yacht. We have also worked in some of the largest marine facilities in the world.

I have known and worked with Newson Engineering since 2007. Currently based on a 2011 sunseeker Predator we use them for general maintenance of the vessel during our busy charter schedule and for any after build modifications. They have proved invaluable this year carrying out works on our Idromar water maker, scheduled generator services (Kholer) sea strainer and filter cleaning, service of air-conditioning system, assistance in creating a methodical and comprehensive maintenance schedule, many electrical modifications and assistance with warranty snagging lists. etc etc. I find Newson Engineering's rates to be very competitive and the work carried out to the highest of standards. I would recommend them for any area of work needed on board your yacht.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.
