YachtAid Global: Pioneering Yacht-Driven Humanitarian Efforts & Ocean Conservation

YachtAid Global (YAG) is a non-profit organization that has made a significant impact on the global humanitarian scene. Founded in 2006, YAG has become a vital link between the yachting community and remote communities in need, providing essential aid and support in times of crisis. Over the years, this organization has built a rich history of compassion, resilience, and dedication.

The inception of YachtAid Global can be attributed to the visionary leadership of Captain Mark Drewelow, who recognized the untapped potential of the yachting industry in addressing global humanitarian challenges. With his deep understanding of both the yachting world and the pressing needs of remote communities, Captain Drewelow established YAG as a platform for yachts to contribute their resources and services to those in need.

YAG’s early years were marked by its efforts to streamline humanitarian aid deliveries across remote communities. By creating a network of supporters, volunteers, and donors, YAG established itself as a reliable and efficient facilitator of aid delivery. The organization’s commitment to transparency and accountability garnered trust from both the yachting community and humanitarian organizations, paving the way for future collaborations.

In the years that followed, YachtAid Global worked tirelessly to enhance its capacity to respond to emergencies promptly. They developed strong relationships with local authorities, NGOs, and relief agencies to ensure effective coordination and maximize the impact of their interventions. With a growing team of professionals who have extensive expertise in both superyacht & non-profit operational service, support and logistics, YachtAid Global quickly became well-known for their efficient and effective disaster relief efforts around the world. From building back better initiatives in continually storm-battered countries like Vanuatu, leading the yachting community’s response in the Bahamas in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian to the expansive clean water access programs throughout the country of Mexico, the team at YachtAid Global continued to look for ways for the yachting community to support, engage and make a substantial positive impact in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. 

In recent years, YachtAid Global has continued to expand its reach and impact. Their interventions have ranged from delivering medical supplies to various remote islands and Ukraine to supporting education initiatives in underserved communities like their sailing school in the Galapagos Islands. YAG’s collaborations with local partners have fostered sustainable development and empowered communities to build a better future. YachtAid Global’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship has also been a key aspect of its work. Recognizing the importance of protecting the marine environment and in support of the worldwide effort to protect 30% of our oceans by the year 2030, a goal adopted by more than 100 countries, YAG launched Operation Swimway which invests in the equipment and science of ocean conservation, while enabling interested owners, guests, and crew to work closely with distinguished members of the scientific community to accelerate the conservation of pelagic species and help protect our oceans.

Looking ahead, YachtAid Global remains committed to its mission of bridging the gap between luxury yachts and humanitarian causes. With each passing year, the organization strives to enhance its operations, expand its partnerships, and further empower remote communities in need. The opportunities ahead for the yachting community to continue to make a positive impact with our oceans, endangered species, and the coastal communities that share with us their land, sea and spirit are endless. With the continued support of yacht owners, captains, crew, charter guests and marine organizations, YachtAid Global continues to push forward and is happy to shoulder the responsibility of stewarding the yachting industry’s humanitarian and conservation efforts. YAG’s journey is a remarkable testament to the potential for positive change when global participation and local knowledge come together to create solutions for a common purpose: changing the world without changing the course .

Leading the Way With YachtAid Global

Posted April 13, 2022 in Lifestyle by Miriam Cain

Northrop & Johnson talks to Zoran Selakovic from leading Non-Governmental Organization YachtAid Global on their efforts to involve the superyacht industry in humanitarian and conservation aid around the world.

Can you describe YachtAid Global in just one sentence?

YachtAid Global provides unified humanitarian and conservation aid across global coastal communities.

In your view what is the most pressing issue facing our ocean, both immediately and in the longer term?

Climate change presents the greatest threat to ocean health. It is making the ocean hotter, promoting acidification, and making it harder to breathe in them by reducing dissolved oxygen levels.

There are many organizations advocating for ocean conservation. What makes YachtAid Global different?

We focus on the unified approach to ocean conservation – integrating humanitarian and conservation elements. Often humanitarian aspects are left out in pure conservation initiatives, resulting in missed opportunities to change people’s behaviors and to provide benefits for the coastal communities which would motivate them to advance conservation objectives and serve as stewards of ocean.

The yachting industry is inextricably connected to the ocean. What more do you believe that our industry should be doing to promote ocean health?

We should be investing into the education and solutions that protect and preserve the ocean across global coastal communities.

Can yachting ever really be sustainable?

Yes, but only with a very deliberate and focused action that encompasses the entire lifecycle of a yacht – with greater emphasis on yacht operations than currently performed.

How can yacht owners and charterers be an ally in your work?

Yacht owners are in a unique position to set focus and vision for their yachting program, emphasizing corporate social responsibility which empowers yacht captains and crews to participate across our programs. The owner’s contributions and support could also make a direct and measurable impact across coastal communities – even a modest contribution goes a long way. Similarly, charterers who enjoy some of the amazing cruising grounds could consider adding a few hours in one afternoon to join us in a specific initiative in order to experience the local community and culture in a direct and authentic way. Their contribution towards our work across the communities that they visit and enjoy can also go a long way in improving the sustainability of yachting and improve quality of lives for the residents of those communities that host us.

How do you believe that we as individuals can contribute to sustain and protect our ocean?

Small actions add up – and multiply. From not using single use-plastics (or plastics at all) to being aware of how we consume food (where it came from, how it was brought to us, etc.).

How has the pandemic affected your work from an operational and funding point of view?

The pandemic has affected our work significantly, especially in the first year. Since then, we have adapted our operations to be effective and efficient in the new world. Funding was definitely challenged as well – but we’re finding ways to evolve our business development strategies and continue to improve regardless of our current environment and circumstances affected by the pandemic.

Do you think governments are using Covid as an excuse to push ocean conservation to the bottom of their to-do list?

We don’t have any data to cite on this, but if we had to answer it – our answer would be no. Governments have been pushing ocean conservation toward the bottom of their to-do lists for a while – with the private sector stepping in to fill in some of the gaps.

What do you look forward to achieving with YachtAid Global over the next 12 months?

As an organization with a wider mission to provide unified humanitarian, conservation, and disaster relief aid across global coastal communities – we will be standing by ready to engage in times of severe disasters that strike remote coastal communities.

We also have a number of active programs across regions (a public library and a sailing and swimming school in the Galapagos, clean water access across Mexico, Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Philippines, education programs in the Caribbean, marine life, ocean research and conservation across Pacific and Atlantic regions – to mention a few) where we hope visiting yachts will engage with us in order to experience local culture while supporting the work that makes these communities more resilient, sustainable, and improves the quality of life of those residents.

How is YachtAid Global working to reduce plastics in the ocean?

During disaster relief and recovery operations we use yachts to produce and deliver water thus avoiding the need for a large number of plastic containers for water. In non-disaster times we work with communities to setup clean water depots which provide clean water access reducing the need for use of plastic bottles and containers. Many of our humanitarian initiatives have conservation components built in. For example, the public library we’re running at the Galapagos has many conservation education and how-to workshops, and the sailing and swimming school has hands-on lessons on reusables.

Is there one person/ initiative in the yachting arena that you would like to highlight here?

We are working on launching a sailing and swimming school in the Galapagos across all three main islands – San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, and Isabela. This school will provide a way for the local youth to learn to be water-safe (swimming), as well as basic sailing and seamanship. Additionally, the school will connect the local youth with the ocean and their environment, teaching them hands-on about the protection and conservation of the ocean and their home islands. This is a good example of how YachtAid Global strives to carry out unified humanitarian and conservation programs, which improve the lives of local residents across global coastal communities, while making the ocean conservation a natural fit and part of the life for both current and future generations.

Founder Initiatives

Strengthening emergency relief with yachtaid global.

The DreAMBoat Community Fund (the Fund), an associate-led giving committee at the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, recently awarded a three-year, $100,000 grant to YachtAid Global (YAG) to establish an emergency disaster relief fund. This grant will make a significant contribution towards YAG’s ability to execute relief and recovery efforts with the speed needed to reach those who require help the most in the immediate wake of impactful disasters.

Since its founding in 2006, YAG has become the recognized leader in facilitating yachting industry-wide engagement and collaboration for disaster relief and recovery, humanitarian aid and conservation management efforts across global coastal communities. These initiatives have saved lives and alleviated distress for communities in the Caribbean, Central America, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia.

The YAG mission is to:

• Provide industry-wide disaster response leadership through logistics management and consultation
• Coordinate the acquisition and delivery of humanitarian aid to coastal communities in need or impacted by natural disasters in collaboration with a global network of volunteers, vetted NGOs and disaster relief experts
• Coordinate super yachts and crews to provide life-saving disaster response
• Identify and support sustainable local humanitarian initiatives
• Facilitate and promote visiting yachts and yacht crews to volunteer and engage in the communities they visit
• Help yacht owners and industry-related companies expand their philanthropic footprint

Through this mission, more than 250 YAG programs and projects have engaged more than 300 yachts in 25 countries in timely solutions for impacted communities. YAG’s work encompasses medevacs, search and rescue logistics, providing disaster relief aid and helping communities transition into recovery and return to full self-sufficiency.

“The DreAMBoat Community Fund’s grant to YachtAid Global will make it possible to respond in times of emergency when people’s lives are at stake and coastal communities are facing the highest degree of suffering after disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes,” said Zoran Selakovic, director of YachtAid Global. “With this grant, the DreAMBoat crew joins YachtAid Global in the shared belief that it is incumbent upon the yachting community to care for the people and the environments of the coastal communities around the globe who share with us their land, sea and spirit.”

The Fund is comprised of members of Arthur M. Blank’s yacht crew, and its purpose is to connect the DreAMBoat crew’s backgrounds and cultures to better the world’s oceans and communities for future generations. In 2022, Fund associates traveled to Yadua Island in Fiji to assist YAG in disaster recovery efforts in the wake of Tropical Storm Yasa.

YAG believes in changing the world without changing course, and the DreAMBoat Community Fund is happy to be on board for the journey.

Rosatom Starts Production of Rare-Earth Magnets for Wind Power Generation

TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom has started gradual localization of rare-earth magnets manufacturing for wind power plants generators. The first sets of magnets have been manufactured and shipped to the customer.

In total, the contract between Elemash Magnit LLC (an enterprise of TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom in Elektrostal, Moscow region) and Red Wind B.V. (a joint venture of NovaWind JSC and the Dutch company Lagerwey) foresees manufacturing and supply over 200 sets of magnets. One set is designed to produce one power generator.

“The project includes gradual localization of magnets manufacturing in Russia, decreasing dependence on imports. We consider production of magnets as a promising sector for TVEL’s metallurgical business development. In this regard, our company does have the relevant research and technological expertise for creation of Russia’s first large-scale full cycle production of permanent rare-earth magnets,” commented Natalia Nikipelova, President of TVEL JSC.

“NovaWind, as the nuclear industry integrator for wind power projects, not only made-up an efficient supply chain, but also contributed to the development of inter-divisional cooperation and new expertise of Rosatom enterprises. TVEL has mastered a unique technology for the production of magnets for wind turbine generators. These technologies will be undoubtedly in demand in other areas as well,” noted Alexander Korchagin, Director General of NovaWind JSC.

For reference:

TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom incorporates enterprises for the fabrication of nuclear fuel, conversion and enrichment of uranium, production of gas centrifuges, as well as research and design organizations. It is the only supplier of nuclear fuel for Russian nuclear power plants. TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom provides nuclear fuel for 73 power reactors in 13 countries worldwide, research reactors in eight countries, as well as transport reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world operates on fuel manufactured by TVEL. www.tvel.ru

NovaWind JSC is a division of Rosatom; its primary objective is to consolidate the State Corporation's efforts in advanced segments and technological platforms of the electric power sector. The company was founded in 2017. NovaWind consolidates all of the Rosatom’s wind energy assets – from design and construction to power engineering and operation of wind farms.

Overall, by 2023, enterprises operating under the management of NovaWind JSC, will install 1 GW of wind farms. http://novawind.ru

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers.
