Icomia Landing from YATED

Yacht and Boat Industry Association General Secretary Orhun Şentürk and former YATED President and ICOMIA Board Member Alpaslan Sirkecioğlu attended the ICOMIA/IFBSO 2024 Annual Congress. Orhun Şentürk noted that the future of the maritime industry was discussed at the meeting held in La Rochelle, France between 20 – 24 May and said, “This year, ICOMIA hosted a number of groups and committees covering a wide range of sectoral issues and areas of interest. At the events we attended, we had the opportunity to discuss how the maritime industry can continue to grow, what challenges we will face and the measures that need to be taken to develop the maritime industry. In this valuable organization, we made a detailed presentation to the participating country representatives about the Bosphorus Boat Show, which included details of boating and yachting in Turkey and was held for the first time in February 2024. “We also talked about the YATED 1 Liquid Waste Collection Boat built on behalf of the sector, the training of qualified personnel, and the collaborations with sailing schools and vocational high schools.” he said.
