Seven blocks of five-bay four-storey apartment tenements, arranged in terrace of three and terrace of four, built 1878, each block having full-height four-bay return with catslide roof to rear. Pitched slate roofs, stepped. Raised barges to gables, with rectangular-profile chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods on party walls. Brown brick walls, laid in Flemish bond to front (north-east) elevation, having red brick brackets to eaves, red brick sill course to third floor, and red brick string course to ground floor. Recessed bay to centre of front elevation of each block, having pointed arch with red brick voussoirs. Brown brick walls in English garden wall bond to other elevations. Segmental-headed window openings, square-headed to returns, with red brick voussoirs, cut granite sills and replacement uPVC windows. Pointed arch door surround with red brick voussoirs, having elliptical-headed door opening with replacement timber door.
Dominick Street Upper is dominated by this terrace of brick apartments blocks built to designs by T.N. Deane & Son for the Dublin Artisan Dwellings Company. The D.A.D.Co. built some 3,600 dwellings from its foundation in 1876, initially building multi-storey blocks of flats at Buckingham Street (1876), Echlin Street (1876) and Dominick Street (1878). Similar to Deane's tenements on Echlin Street built 1876-77, they are composed of five-bay four-storey blocks faced in brown Athy brick with red brick dressings, with two apartments per floor flanking a central stair hall. Referred to at the time as tenements, this simply meant a multiple tenant building, without the negative inferences of overcrowding. Minimal Gothic vocabulary was employed, with pointed arch entrances. The elevation is stepped on account of the slope of Dominick Street Upper. Development began on Dominick Street Upper in the 1820s, but largely remained undeveloped until the Broadstone Railway terminus was built in the mid-nineteenth century. To the rear facing King's Inns are two-storey Temple Cottages, also built by Deane & Son in 1876.

Meeting room overflows, public hearing gets rescheduled
Credit: Cheryl McCormack | Bismarck Tribune | bismarcktribune.com ~~
A large crowd, many intentionally wearing red, filled the Tom Baker Room, plus two other rooms, in the City/County Building in downtown Bismarck Wednesday evening for a public hearing. The hearing, on a proposed wind farm, was an hour late and abruptly halted due to technical issues. It is rescheduled for a later date in a larger venue. Above, seated in the front row, are Durant Schiermeister, left, of Emmons County and Jayce Doan, right, of McKenzie.

The Burleigh County Planning and Zoning Commission had to reschedule a public hearing in regard to the proposed Burleigh-Emmons Wind Farm due to a larger crowd showing up at the City/County Building, located in downtown Bismarck, than it could sufficiently hold.
More than 150 citizens filled three rooms of the venue Wednesday night during a meeting that was initially delayed 45 minutes while commissioners tried to figure out how to properly accommodate all the people who showed up to make their voices heard on the project.
After two failed attempts at broadcasting the meeting, which was held in the Tom Baker Meeting Room with police presence, into the two overflow rooms, commissioners made the decision to reschedule the public hearing.
Public notices need to be published for two consecutive weeks prior to a meeting, by law, so the earliest the public hearing will be, now, is Nov. 29.
Burleigh County Commissioner Doug Schonert, who is also a member of the planning and zoning board, said, in his 24 years in office, he's never witnessed a bigger crowd at a meeting.
"We want everyone to have their say. I was told by several that they want to speak. They were coming and they wanted to speak," he said. "I don't suppose they all will, but I would guess we're probably going to have 30 or 40 people get up and speak, or more."
Schonert said the board will need to limit citizens' time to speak to three to five minutes, and if the meeting gets too long, the public hearing will be carried over into a second night.
Burleigh County Commissioner Brian Bitner, who is also a member of the planning and zoning board, said he felt it was necessary to reschedule the public hearing, even though it was "embarrassing" to have to do so.
"We have a responsibility to the public that the public has access, completely, to public hearings," he said. "And I think that if even one citizen is not able to hear it or be involved, we're not meeting our responsibilities."
Chicago-based Pure New Energy USA is proposing to develop the 300-megawatt wind farm, known as the Burleigh-Emmons Wind Farm.
Through the project, approximately 70 wind turbines would be constructed in southern Burleigh County and northern Emmons County in an area that covers 15,000 acres. The project would be 7 miles wide and 8 miles long, and located approximately 15 miles from Bismarck.
Last month, the Burleigh County Commission agreed to assume Morton Township's permitting authority for the project, to avoid a conflict of interest at the township level.
All three of the Morton Township supervisors – William Nicholson, Brian Dralle and Daymon Mills – are participating landowners in the project, so it would be a conflict of interest for the trio to decide whether or not to issue a special use permit for the wind farm.
The project is driving a wedge between neighbors, because for every property owner in favor of the project, there is at least one opposed to it.

A wolf bounty? Not in N.C. In a switch, there's a reward for a human killer of rare red wolves
Two Red Wolves in Durham, N.C. ( B. Bartel/USFWS)
By Darryl Fears
Darryl Fears
Reporter focusing on environmental justice, climate and wildlife
Wolves have a terrible public relations problem that dates back many centuries.
In old fables, they're constantly up to no good, stalking Little Red Riding Hood and blowing down the houses of the Three Little Pigs. Their storied reputation might explain why people are quick to put a price on their heads for killing livestock or simply showing their faces.
But recently in North Carolina, wildlife biologists flipped the script. They are offering a bounty of sorts for information leading to the capture of whoever who shot to death two rare red wolves.
That species of wolf is one of the world's most endangered wild canids — a group that includes jackals, coyotes and dogs. The $21,000 reward was raised by animal rights organizations after the dead wolves were found Oct. 28 and Oct. 30 on the flat plains of Washington County, on the central Carolina coast.
Accelerometers pinging in the wolves' tracking collars informed U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials that the animals' hearts had stopped beating and led them to the dead bodies. The wolves were among 66 that authorities have tracked since they were old enough to wear collars.
The animals are monitored as part of the government's Red Wolf Recovery Program, to reestablish them in the Southeast after federally sanctioned bounties nearly wiped them out.
Today, only 90 to 100 live in the wild, and each death is a major blow to the federal government's effort to restore red wolves in their native habitat.
Authorities said the dead wolves were of breeding age, making their demise especially upsetting since there are too few adults to produce enough litters to reestablish the species.
"When we lose an animal, that obviously has an impact on a very small population," said David Rabon, recovery coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife program. While there are 90 wolves in the wild, that doesn't mean 45 of them have coupled. "About 13 pairs are breeding," Rabon said.
Red wolves were once a lot more common in the Southeast, biologists say. Their numbers were reduced by predator control programs that put prices on the heads of native wolves as people encroached on their range. By the 1960s, they were on the brink of surviving only in zoos and museums.
The Fish and Wildlife Service listed the wolves as endangered in 1967 and frantically attempted to rebuild the population. Seventeen remaining red wolves were captured by biologists, and most went into a program that preserves their gene pool and breeds them.
With no more red wolves in the wild, they were declared extinct in the Southeast in 1980. It took seven years to breed enough of them to start a restoration program on the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina's rural northeast.
About 100 wolves roam an expanded range that includes three wildlife refuges on nearly 2 million acres. An additional 200 red wolves are in breeding, part of a Species Survival Plan in locations across the United States.
There is another species in North America: the gray wolf, or Canis lupus, with an even more fearsome and, many say, unearned reputation. In an ongoing battle with encroaching ranchers, gray wolves killed more than 250 sheep and about 90 cattle last year in Idaho alone.
In response, hunters in the state killed 330 wolves in 2012, and about 200 in 2011, according to the Agriculture Department.
Red wolves, or Canis rufus, are slimmer and slightly smaller than their gray cousins. They are sometimes mistaken for coyotes, which is problematic because that more plentiful group isn't native to North Carolina and can be shot any day but Sunday, Rabon said.
Coyotes bow to bigger red wolves. If a red wolf wants a coyote's territory, it takes it. Adult red wolves weigh up to 80 pounds, stand about 26 inches tall and measure four feet long, from nose to tail. But calling them red is a bit of an overstatement. The wolves "are mostly brown and buff colored with some black along their backs," according to a Fish and Wildlife description.
Rabon doesn't know why anyone would want to kill them. There are few documented cases of a healthy wolf or coyote attacking a person, he said.
"We have documented less than a dozen cases where a red wolf took livestock in 27 years," Rabon said. Most of the time the culprit is man's best friend — a dog. Or coyotes.
Red wolves eat white-tail deer, rabbits, rats, mice and the invasive nutria, also known as the invasive swamp rat from South America.
On the coastal Carolina plain where the wolves were reintroduced, there are no livestock to protect. The land is planted with corn, soy, wheat, cotton and pine grown on plantations, Rabon said.
Six red wolves were killed this year by gunfire, three were hit by vehicles, and one died by some other circumstance, perhaps caught in a trap, Rabon said. In the three previous years, 21 were shot.
Rabon said the motive could be the fearsome reputation of wolves, spread through fables or stories of gray-wolf hunting packs out West that are strong and smart enough to bring down enormous prey such as bison.
The bounty raised by several organizations, including the Humane Society of the United States, the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and the Center for Biological Diversity, reflects the outrage over the killings.
In a statement, Fish and Wildlife officials hoping to bring them back extolled the red wolf's good looks. "As their name suggests, red wolves are known for the characteristic reddish color of their fur most apparent behind the ears and along the neck and legs."

Linz – Danube River Cruise
By Tony Page Leave a Comment
RIVER CRUISE GUIDE Bank (Danube) Right/Left KM 2135
Altitude 260m/853ft Population 184,000
City Square and Trinity Column, Linz
Capital city of Oberösterreich Bundesland (federal state), north-central Austria, Linz lies along the Danube River 100 miles (160 km) west of Vienna. It originated as the Roman fortress of Lentia and became an important medieval trading centre. By the 13th century it had all of the outward characteristics of a city, but none of a city's rights. It became the provincial capital in the 15th century during the residence of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick III and was noted for its fairs.
An important cultural centre
The see of a Roman Catholic bishop since 1785, Linz has become an important cultural centre, with the Johannes Kepler University (1966), schools of art and music, a college-level Academy of Industrial and Art Design (1947), a seminary, scientific institutes, museums and art galleries, libraries, archives, an opera house, and theatres.
Old Town Hall, Linz
The city is rich in historic buildings, which include the old castle, St. Martin's Church (first mentioned 799), the early Baroque Town Hall, the 13th-century main square with a monument to the Holy Trinity, the City Parish Church (13th century, remodeled 1648), the Old Cathedral (1669-78), the Minorite (Franciscan) Church (13th century, remodelled 1752-58), and the 16th-century Landhaus ("State House"). Also notable are the monastic churches (Capuchin, Ursuline, Carmelite), the neo-Gothic New Cathedral (1862-1924), and the 19th-century fortifications built by Archduke Maximilian d'Este. The bridge (renewed 1938-39) across the Danube leads to the Urfahr quarter on the left bank beneath the Postling Hill (1,768 feet [539 m]).
On the direct rail route between the Baltic and Adriatic seas
Linz is on the Danube
Lying on a direct rail route between the Baltic and Adriatic seas, as well as on the Danube, Linz has extensive docks and a busy river-transit trade. After 1938 it developed into an important industrial centre with ironworks and steelworks and a nitrogen-fixation plant. War damage necessitated their reconstruction after 1945. The city's manufactures also include machinery, electrical equipment, textiles, glass, furniture, beverages, shoes, rubber, and tobacco products.
If you like cakes, don't forget to try the Linzer Torte, a spicy cake which is a local specialty.

The Hungarian Uprising of October '56
Hungary – October 23, 1956, is a date that will forever be engraved in the history of Hungary and of the world. On this day, communism faltered in the Eastern Bloc: the Hungarians took to the streets for their freedom. Some have paid it with their lives, others only had a few days of hope before a bloody crackdown by Moscow, which then made Hungary endure communism for another three decades.
In 1948, following rigged elections, the Communists took power in Hungary, establishing a totalitarian regime. The first few years were the darkest due to a true Stalinist terror with deportations in the gulags, executions, show trials and omnipresent AVH secret police having punctuated the lives of Hungarians between 1948 and 1953. After Stalin's death, Imre Nagy has been appointed to be head the Cabinet. His policy was a series of reforms to make the regime softer, and it included the abolition of internment camps and of the autonomy of the secret police. However, he was sacked less than two years later.
In late June 1956, after the workers' uprising in Poznan in Poland got repressed by the authorities, the new head of the Communist Party initiated reforms similar to those of Imre Nagy against which Moscow threatened military intervention. In October, in Hungary, organizations bringing together students and intellectuals organized demonstrations in major cities of the country demanding the return of Imre Nagy. A rally in support for Poland under the auspices of the Polish-Hungarian friendship was held at the foot of General Bem's statue. It was during this event that the 16 points of the Petőfi Circle were adopted, listing the political and economic measures desired by the student assemblies, including the evacuation of Soviet troops and free elections.
Throughout the day of 23 October, a growing crowd joined the protests organized by students: in front of the statue of General Bem – where the communist coat of arms was first snatched of the Hungarian flag, eventually becoming the symbol of the Revolution – and on Kossuth tér, the square of the Parliament, where nearly 200,000 people attended. Despite the call to the dispersion of the Communist Party leader Ernő Gerő, the crowd went to the spot where stood a huge statue of Stalin.
The demonstrators demolished the sculpture of which only the boots remained standing, the head of the Soviet dictator lying on the ground. This action was one of the enduring images of the Revolution. As night fell, some protesters went to the headquarters of the Hungarian Radio to try to read the 16 points. The tanks and secret police deployed there opened fire on the defenseless crowd marking the beginning of the armed conflict. Still, the building got occupied by protesters.
The next day, Soviet tanks were ordered to enter Budapest while Nagy was again appointed Prime Minister. Despite his promises of continuing reforms, street fights erupted between demonstrators who seized weapons – including many minors, the "kids of Pest" – and regime forces. One of the symbolic places was the Corvin Passage whose revolutionaries were called "corvinists" (korvinisták).
Moscow also decided to place János Kádár at the head of the Communist Party to replace Gerő. The new leader has called the uprising a "counter-revolution", the official term until the fall of communism. On October 25, about 5,000 people gathered peacefully at Kossuth tér but snipers of the AVH and the present Soviet tanks fired into the crowd making a total of nearly a thousand dead. This bloody moment led to the fall of the government on October 28, the removal – temporarily – of Soviet troops and the restoration of pluralism and the release of political prisoners, whose most famous was Cardinal József Mindszenty.
However the calm lasted only a very short time. On November 4, the Soviet Union initiated a war against Hungary without prior declaration. It is at this time that Imre Nagy gave a speech to the attention of the country and the world on the radio before a call using broadcast in four languages.
"This is Imre Nagy speaking to you, the president of the Council of Ministers of the People's Republic of Hungary. At dawn today, Soviet forces began an attack on our capital, obviously with the aim of toppling the legal, democratic Hungarian government. Our troops are fighting. The government is in place. I am making this fact known to our people and the whole world".
Imre Nagy delivering his speech
The call of Imre Nagy remained unanswered. Hungary has received no international assistance in this conflict, Western countries being engaged in the Suez Crisis. Soviet tanks entered Budapest and gunfire reverberated across the capital. It is the suppression of the last revolutionaries on Csepel Island on November 11 which definitively ended the uprising.
In total, the Revolution has officially bring the death of 2,652 people on the Hungarian side and 720 on the Soviet side. An estimated 200,000 Hungarians fled their country due to the conflict and the following repression. In the three years following the Revolution, large-scale retaliation were made by the Kádár regime: 400 people – including Imre Nagy – were executed for their involvement in the uprising, more than 21,000 were imprisoned and 16,000 to 18,000 were interned.
Obviously these events are a crucial time in the Hungarian and European history since it was the first time a Communist Bloc country's people undertook such important demonstrations against the regime that the Soviet Union had to intervene militarily. The memory of the heroes of this revolution against Soviet rule also reminds the world that the Hungarians have already fought many times for a freedom to which they are deeply attached.
The year of the fall of communism, on June 16, 1989, Imre Nagy and his fellow martyrs were symbolically reburied on the Heroes Square in front of hundreds of thousands of people. On that day, the young Viktor Orbán became famous due to his speech asking Soviet troops to leave Hungary. October 23, 1989, was a double national holiday for Hungary with the commemoration of the outbreak of the Revolution and the official proclamation of the Republic of Hungary ending more than four decades of communist dictatorship.
On October 23, 2006, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the uprising, demonstrations were held to demand the resignation of Socialist Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány after the scandal aroused by an audio recording in which he confessed to have "lied in the morning, at noon and at night" to win elections in April of the same year. The streets of Budapest were then the scene of clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces including excessive violence used by the police.
To commemorate the 60 years of the insurgency, Viktor Orbán will hold in a speech in company of Polish President Andrzej Duda in front of the Hungarian parliament. Throughout the city, vehicles, barricades and photos are exposed.

The economic meltdown provides a powerful inflection point to reflect, rethink and learn. This is an opportunity for CLOs to use learning as a lever to make the future for our people more stable, prosperous and secure.
During the past decade, many in the financial services industry provided loans and investments to customers who had a seemingly insatiable appetite for borrowing and speculating at levels of risk and requiring due diligence that they did not fully understand, or they ignored. Financial firms securitized by pooling and pricing subprime mortgage loans that they sold as financial investments called collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) — derivative securities.
They also met investor demand to create derivatives of these derivatives. Credit default swaps (CDSs) were created to function as insurance, backing up CDOs. Some investors bought CDSs that would pay off in the unlikely event that large numbers of underlying subprime mortgage holders defaulted on their loans. Though CDSs serve a legitimate purpose, they became yet another way of profiting from a propensity to gamble.
We developed sophisticated language, algorithms and models for calculating and managing risk. But any good builder will tell you that a model is only as good as the assumptions upon which it rests. It appears that the modelers at organizations such as AIG assumed that a global negative growth rate in the value of mortgaged properties was not possible.
The house of cards began to tumble at Lehman Brothers when the impossible became reality. When total home values fell below the value of their related loans, mortgage holders defaulted in record numbers. The CDS insurance payouts exponentially exceeded the real value of the underlying securities and the guarantor's capital, making it impossible for them to make their contracted payouts. When it started to get ugly, taxpayers were forced to cover the remaining bets because, as we have repeatedly heard, these companies were just too big and too essential to be allowed to fail. It's a bit like having to pay for your cousin Harry's failed fling at the roulette table because your parents tell you he's an essential member of the family.
One of the lessons of the crash must be an observation about rewards. Our economic system rewarded disproportionate risk takers handsomely. How can a mere mortal resist a legal activity for which he trained and worked diligently and for which he is rewarded with tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars — particularly when he wins 90 percent of the time, and any loss is not his loss. It is not merely the financial rewards. Our finest universities were placing as many as 25 percent of their graduates in jobs in the financial services industry where they lived an important and exotic life that was the envy of their classmates.
It was not merely the underlying assets that turned toxic. This entire system fed our worst instincts. Investments became speculative gambles, and banks, insurance companies and investment houses became casinos fueled by gambling consumers who borrowed as if there were no tomorrow. When the casinos made too many imprudent loans, we reached a tipping point, and the rest is history.
Perhaps I have been too harsh about the nature of gambling; after all, there is risk in everything we do. But we are suffering from the effects of a gambling binge that is exceptionally painful. As White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said, never let a crisis go to waste. CLOs have an unprecedented opportunity to help their businesses learn how this happened, how it could be avoided in the future and what to do about it now.
• How does our reward system incentivize the right or wrong behavior?
• What are the unwritten house rules about risk in our business?
• How can we increase rather than decrease the quality of customer experience in the midst of this challenge?
• How can we listen to and fully engage workers to be a part of the solution?
• What are we doing to ensure standards of integrity trump greed and self-interest?
• How can we make it part of every person's job to surface undue risk?
• How can we help customers understand and manage risk, thus increasing loyalty and our value to them?
The current crisis presents an opportunity to help focus and harness the brains of our people to create solutions that are the source of real security. Don't waste it.

How Nautilus provides expert support for superyacht seafarers
With its MCA-accredited Service Record Book and a strong record of winning employment cases, Nautilus is attracting large numbers of new members in the superyacht sector. Gary Crossing looks at what the Union has to offer and meets some of the Nautilus partner organisations who help deliver services to yacht crew
Superyacht crew made up more than half of Nautilus International's new members in 2018. The sector is a growth area for the Union which has helped widen its influence globally and to recruit younger maritime professionals.
While superyachts might seem to embody a world of glitz and glamour in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, life for crew members can be very different from that of the vessels' owners.
In common with colleagues in the Merchant Navy, superyacht crew can experience long spells away from home working in isolated jobs with uncertain pay; they need a union on their side when things get tough.
The situation was vividly portrayed in a Nautilus-backed report published in December 2018 by the Seafarers' Welfare & Assistance Network (ISWAN) – which found that many workers in the yacht sector suffered from social isolation, stress, bullying, harassment and discrimination and low crew morale.Nautilus International's success in achieving justice for members after recent high-profile yacht incidents has also helped raise the Union's profile and put a spotlight on the global legal leverage enjoyed by the Union for the benefit of members internationally. In one such case in December 2018, Nautilus secured almost US$1m in unpaid wages for crew members from the superyacht M/Y Indian Empress.
It is not all gitz and glamour for crew - Monaco Yacht Show 2018.
Nautilus was also looking out for members in April 2019, when the Union urged seafarers to exercise extreme caution in dealings with the Marshall Islands flagged M/Y Luna, a luxury superyacht caught up in a bitter divorce dispute between a rowing Russian oligarch and his ex-wife.
Behind the scenes, Nautilus organisers are working hard to ensure all members in the yachting sector get relevant additional benefits and support via access to the various services offered through the Union's network of 16 strategic partners.
The partners provide benefits and advice specific to their niche in the superyacht industry. These services are in addition to the Union's traditional day-to-day representation of superyacht members on issues as wide ranging such as non-payment or delayed wages, repatriation, bullying and harassment, certification protections and legal help.
Danny McGowan talks to crew about SRBs at the Palma Yacht Show 2019. Union organisers attend the large yacht shows to meet crew and foster partnerships.
'As the only trade union and professional organisation working globally in the superyacht industry, it is essential superyacht officers and crew know they have an organisation looking out for their vested interests.
Working with partners in this way means that maritime professionals who haven't yet become a member have the greatest opportunity to join,' Nautilus international organiser Danny McGowan said.
Any superyacht professional can join Nautilus, regardless of their country of nationality or residence or the flag of their vessel. They can be deck or engineering officers, deckhands, interior crew, chefs and other specialist crew such as medical staff.
The Union represents more than 22,000 members across more than a dozen maritime industries from over 90 different countries. Although its main branches are the UK, Netherlands and Switzerland, the Union also has an office in Antibes especially for superyacht members through a long-standing partnership with D&B Services – and support is also provided by a number of other strategic yacht sector partners.
Jorg Wendt, D&B Services
D&B Services works alongside the Nautilus offices in the UK to process the Nautilus Service Record Book (SRB) which each yacht member receives. The SRB helps members to record and calculate qualifying sea service for UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) certification. It is used by examiners when evaluating sea service. Nautilus has worked closely with the MCA in developing this facility for yachting members.
While the Union does not negotiate pay and conditions across the superyacht industry, its efforts globally for all members – on improving safety standards, welfare and professionalism – have a cascading benefit for all seafarers including those in the superyacht industry.
The industry has adopted some of these standards on its own initiative, but in some cases Nautilus has had to push for improved standards by ensuring individual members get support in the workplace that they deserve.
Danny McGowan with wilsonhalligan's Nicky Morgan and Liam Dobbin
The Union's strategic partners support these efforts in the perceived 'luxury' industries via their commitments to the same values on welfare and safety as the Union – as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding that the Union signs with each partner.
Some partners can also offer support to Merchant Navy crew wanting to transition to the superyacht industry or those looking for a first job.
Wilsonhalligan is a yacht recruitment consultancy partner, which provides support for seafarers transitioning from other parts of the maritime industry into the superyacht world – offering advice and guidance and free help with CVs.
It also provides assistance to 'green' superyacht crew looking for their first roles after qualifying.
Wilsonhalligan's director of yacht recruitment Nicola Morgan is impressed by the Union's work: 'Nautilus are really helpful; we feel comfortable having their support and it's great to be able to recommend crew to them if they are unsure of something that we feel unable to assist with.'
Geoff Moore, managing director of yacht management company partner West Nautical, agreed: 'Nautilus is getting some excellent and well-deserved press for its work on behalf of seafarers who have been abandoned following an incident involving their yacht, or when not paid their salaries as per their contract, so we highly recommend the Union to all crew. The commercial yacht service record book is also being widely used by crew members looking to log their sea time officially.'
Lead medical consultant Liz Baugh, who works for one of the newer partners – Red Square Medical – is also quick to point out the benefit of being in partnership with Nautilus: 'As an organisation, being partnered with Nautilus shows the industry that our standards are high enough to be recognised by the Union. We are very proud of our partnership as it shows a high level of trust and regard from them. Their members have access to our services, and we take our responsibility to those members very seriously.'
Liz Baugh (centre), Red Square Medical predicts more remote medical help.
The partners agree that the superyacht industry's growth will continue unabated in the next five years at least. A key challenge will be to match the trend for building larger vessels with the need for suitably qualified officers – against a potential crew shortage.
Other challenges on the horizon include cyber security, the potential use of automated navigation and the increased use of artificial intelligence.
The good news for those training to be seafarers is that there will be an increased demand for suitably qualified staff, especially given the existing high staff turnover in the superyacht sector.
Red Square Medical's perspective is that the future of dealing with superyacht crew medical emergencies will also mean an increased use of remote medical services.
Liz Baugh said the challenges at sea will be to provide bandwidth onboard for better video conferencing – with less connection interference – and, crucially, internet connections that will be 'accessible to all, rather than just those that can afford the cost involved'.
Geoff Moore of West Nautical - which runs a regular Superyacht Command and Control at South Shields Marine School - says increased yacht orders globally means good crew will be in demand.
Geoff Moore reckoned the largest yachts could always command good crew but retaining those crew can be an issue as 'junior ranks jump ship' a lot more than in previous generations.
Jorg Wendt of D&B services highlighted the Union's concerns over the lack of clarity in certification post-Brexit. Some partners also agree the industry is ready for a training overhaul in the STCW convention on officer certificates of competency.
Liz Baugh noted: 'From the first aid and medical perspective, moves forward are already being made by the MCA in that they have commissioned an updated Ship Captain's Medical Guide to replace the 1998 edition, but the STCW course objectives will need to be updated to really make the most of the opportunities to deliver really useful and relevant industry specific courses.'
Steve Crawford, Yotspot
Steve Crawford of online jobs and training partner Yotspot, believes AI will play an increasingly important part within the maritime industry. 'We will see a rise in automated supply chains within the commercial sector such as on cargo vessels and tankers, but demand for autonomous shipping is on the horizon.'
Mr Crawford believes yachting is 'such a personable industry' that he can't imagine a yacht future without a human master at the helm, but he could see flag state manning requirements including more AI roles:
'For example, we may eventually feel completely comfortable leaving a yacht on autopilot (with all crew off duty during a night passage) with an anti-collision avoidance system (AI) running the bridge.'
The demand for more qualified crew and the larger vessels could open up exciting possibilities for more adventurous sailing to more remote regions such as Asia and the Pacific.
Tony Ryan of 'concierge' app company Yacht Needs, which provides port services listings for crew
Most partners also agreed the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) has been beneficial in general to the superyacht industry, as it sets out the responsibilities of ship owners to their seafarer crew, and it has helped inform seafarers of their rights and entitlements – leading to more informed decisions - such as what to look out for in their Seafarer Employment Agreements.
Karen Passman, Impact Crew
Karen Passman of research-based training and coaching partner Impact Crew – which works with the superyacht industry to improve leadership skills – agreed that addressing bullying and harassment was still an important issue for the community to face head on.
Impact Crew – which is planning to offer its leadership expertise to the wider maritime community – is also about to release some conclusions on the subject of manning strategies for the Merchant Navy sector, added Ms Passman.
'What has come out of our research is the impact that the leaders have on the onboard culture. My angle is how we get the right culture onboard versus the legislation working to manage bullying and harassment.'
Individual profiles of the Nautilus International strategic yacht partners will appear in the Telegraph feature pages on the Nautilus website over the coming months.

Sea Service Verification guidance
Members with an SRB can download the Sea Service Verification templates by logging in to the My Nautilus members' section.
Nautilus International works closely with the MCA and regulatory authorities in Europe and around the world, and this Service Record Book is recognised by the MCA as evidence of acceptable service. Once your yacht service is verified by the Union, the MCA accepts the Nautilus SRB as sufficient proof of onboard and sea service. Contact the membership departments either via email or telephone to receive your free SRB. For further information email recruitment@nautilusint.org or call: +44 (0)151 639 8454.
