Barcelona: get the network right while the yacht is in refit.
Barcelona is one of Europe's major superyacht refit locations. During a refit, ceilings are open, racks move and integrators install new systems — the one moment when a yacht's network can be rebuilt properly. We sit on the owner's side of the table.

Local challenges
Specifications written by suppliers
When the integrator writes the IT specification, the owner rarely gets an independent view of what is needed — or what it should cost.
Temporary access everywhere
Dozens of contractors need network access during a refit. Without a plan, much of it remains when the yacht leaves the yard.
New rules for new builds
Yachts contracted from July 2024 that fall under IACS UR E26/E27 need evidence of cyber resilience — planning starts at the yard.

Questions
When should we involve you in a refit?
Ideally before the yard's proposal is final. The earlier the IT specification is fixed, the cheaper changes are.
Do you replace our integrator?
If you want, yes — we supply and install with vetted partners. Or your integrator builds and we specify, review and test on your behalf.
