THE USSA AND ITS MISSION TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT THE U.S. SUPERYACHT INDUSTRY AND ITS MEMBERS WORLDWIDE THROUGH ADVOCACY, MARKETING AND EDUCATION.
WHAT IS THE UNITED STATES SUPERYACHT ASSOCIATION (USSA)? The U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) is a non-profit trade association whose newly amended mission is to “Promote and support the U.S. Superyacht industry and its members worldwide through advocacy, marketing and education.” The USSA is made up of a variety of businesses across the United States and around the world that represent thousands of jobs and a tremendous economic impact on our economy.
WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE USSA? • To promote members’ products and services through global representation and networking • To advance the superyacht industry in the United States • To serve as a coordinated advocate on major issues affecting the industry
HOW DID THE USSA GET STARTED? The USSA was formed in 2006 in direct response to the lack of a unified voice in the United States for the unique needs of the large yacht segment of the marine industry. Over the years, the 12 charter members have worked to grow the USSA to represent the superyacht industry in more than 26 states and 20 foreign countries. With nearly 400 members, a strong regional focus, a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., and an international “Come SEA U.S.” marketing plan designed to attract more yachts to the United States firmly in place, the USSA is poised to work even harder for the superyacht industry!
“Safe Harbor Marina is a proud member of the USSA. The networking and educational events are invaluable. In addition, as a United States based company, Safe Harbor Marina is very happy to support the USSA’s legislative efforts.” Kate Pearson, Safe Harbor Marina

ADVOCACY: INDIVIDUALLY STRONG, TOGETHER A POWERFUL FORCE! WORKING TO EFFECT CHANGE IN OUR NATION’S CAPITAL
The U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) was formed 10 years ago to serve as the voice of the superyacht industry in the United States. Since that time, advocating on behalf of this $6 billion segment of the recreational boating industry has remained a top priority for the association. Over the past several years, the USSA has taken firm steps forward to secure our ability to grow this segment of the industry. The USSA works closely with our national and regional partnerorganizations to continue to strive for “One Industry, One Voice”. The Advocacy Committee’s role as part of the “Come Sea U.S.” campaign is to remove regulatory and legislative barriers and other disincentives to large boats arriving and spending time cruising in the United States.
26
The Advocacy Committee has built solid relationships with U.S. regulators and legislators by presenting the significant importance of the large yacht industry through the use of economic and employment data. We aren’t alone. For many years now, the USSA once again partnered with 38 other marine trade associations to walk the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C. with one united voice representing all segments of the recreational marine industry during the American Boating Congress. Industry briefings on all the key issues are also provided during this annual gathering.
EDITORIAL
As a result of several trips to Washington, D.C. by your Association’s Advocacy team, many key Congressional leaders have exhibited a greater understanding of the importance of the superyacht sector and have indicated their willingness to help support the industry. They also secured a toplevel meeting with Rear Admiral Paul Thomas of the U.S. Coast Guard and his leadership team to identify a path forward on our U.S. flagging issue.
THE MAIN ADVOCACY OBJECTIVES FOR THE ASSOCIATION ARE: 1. Continue to educate legislators about the importance of the Superyacht industry. 2. W ork with regulatory agencies (United States Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. State Department, U.S. Maritime Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) to further improve and streamline federal regulations that impact the entry and cruising of superyachts in the United States.
THE USSA’S CURRENT ADVOCACY AGENDA WITHIN OUR ESTABLISHED OBJECTIVES IS:
1 2
I ncrease the maximum gross tonnage of recreational vessels to be able to flag U.S.
3 4 5 6
acilitate the access for U.S. recreational shipyards to MARAD grant F funds to support and revitalize the U.S. shipbuilding capacity.
reating the American Boat Building Act—working to remove the C recreational boat building industry from the burdensome Revenue Act of 178 (PL 95-600) Section 361 and allow the deductions claimed by businesses who own and operate American built yachts. This will ensure that only American companies and American jobs are positively impacted by this action.
ontinue working with CBP leadership to extend the duration of the U.S. C Cruising Licenses for large recreational vessels from one to two years.
38 PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS • United States Coast Guard • Customs and Border Protection • U.S. State Department • U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) • Immigration and Customs Enforcement
romote the dredging of channels and waterways that facilitate the P ability of superyachts to cruise to our ports and shores ork in coalition with other marine trade associations to facilitate W ease in obtaining Visas to work in the United States.
3. D evelop a gap analysis in the USCG code to create a clear path to increasing the tonnage of the U.S. flag. These efforts have resulted in raising the visibility of the importance of superyachts to the economy and jobs with key regulators and legislators. All of these agenda items are possible and within reach as long as the industry continues to work together. To that end, the USSA has provided training and awareness presentations at association meetings such as the Superyacht Summit to both inform and prepare the membership to act in unison on these initiatives. The strength of each individual is strong… but together is a powerful force.

CATEGORIES: YACHT MAINTENANCE
I worked five years for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft in solving engine failures for land, sea and air powered gas turbines. Then 5 years as a design engineer in R & D of non ferrous metal alloys designing and building test equipment for Olin Metals Research. Then 19 years as a senior project engineer for the plastics industry at American Cyanamid and Nova Chemicals designing and installing major capital equipment. During this 29 year period I often had to modify plant equipment and change machining and material specifications for getting the proper material, heat treatment and installation in time and under budget. Then train the personnel on how to use the equipment and maintenance staff on how to repair it. My experience in repair and modifying plant equipment to make it a more reliable and efficient was and still is a highly regarded skill. I started Engineering Concepts, LLC in 1996 that basically involves Non Destructive Testing of operating equipment to determine operating condition. My initial market was in the chemical and industrial business and only 10% in the marine industry. After the year 2000 this changed to 90% marine market and the remainder industrial. I found that the experience I gained in aircraft, metallurgical and chemical industries is very beneficial to the marine industry. So my personnel goal is to improve the current marine industry standards up to the same standards that I experienced previously. I have presented seminars for the marine industry on vibration issues on detection and repair for IBEX 2004, 2007, 2012 and Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2010. I have also written articles in Soundings Dec 2010 and Southern Boating March 2011. Pro Boat Radio Q &A session on “Boat Vibration: Causes and Solutions” Feb 2013.

Our focus in the marine industry is custom SeaStrainers. With our Thompson SeaStrainers, we have various housing diameter sizes, which are designed for various flow rates; however, we customize the strainers for each specific application. For example, we often weld multiple ports on the strainers (i.e. one inlet with multiple

outlets). Also, because our strainers are fabricated, we can locate the inlet/outlet connections in virtually any location/orientation. We can manufacture the strainers with different types of inlet/outlet connections (i.e. NPT, flanged, hose-barb, Victaulic, etc.). Whatever our customer’s dream up, we can generally accommodate. What we do can be summarized by a statement made by one of our large customers, Bollinger Shipyards…”with Miller-Leaman, they can design the strainer around the engine room - rather than the engine room around the strainer.” We are currently manufacturing all the raw water strainers for (2) new large fleets of United States Coast Guard vessels (RB-M and FR-C) as well as a new fleet of United States Navy Boats (Mark VI). We also manufacture strainers for many different non-military vessels (ferries, yachts, workboats, racing boats, etc.). Our designs are custom solutions for each application.

Our 10+ years of experience of working in challenging regions guide our strategic multi-port voyage planning and affords us the ability to preempt potential challenges and obstacles, thereby avoiding a potential loss of time and resources. We are that invaluable land based crew member captains always wish they had; who happens to speak the local language and who knows the local nuances and hot spots. Our gorgeous custom itineraries have been known to seal a charter deal and have convinced owners to take the “leap” and cruise the wild Pacific. Each country has its own character and charm, as well as, its own bureaucratic and regulatory nuances. We navigate our way through this “red tape” by engaging all of our resources; shamelessly calling established relationships with local government, officials, politicos, even vendors and service contractors located in neighboring countries. Our team “makes it happen”.

Eight of the operating vessels are rated to depths of 1000 meters; deep-water experience unmatched by any other submersible manufacturer. Triton submersibles have been used to film major documentaries of the Great Barrier Reef and to film, for the first time in history, a live Giant Squid off the coast of Japan. They are used to investigate wrecks in the Mediterranean, record bioluminescence in the Pacific, and were the first acrylic hulled submersibles to dive in Antarctica. Triton submersibles are robust, capable platforms for almost any underwater task. Triton has a perfect safety record. Every component is designed, analyzed and certified to withstand significant pressures over the rated depth. Scrutinized by ABS or DNV/GL surveyors, each Triton will undergo a vigorous program of over 1,000 tests and checks. Owners and insurers can be certain that all materials are properly certified and independently checked for chemical composition and strength, all designs have been examined and approved, all components are manufactured under watchful inspection and all systems are fully tested and witnessed prior to delivery of the submersible.

For over 15 years, V-KOOL is the leading clear window coating that solves the visibility and appearance problems of conventional window tints and reflective films, while significantly reducing solar heat build up. V-KOOL technology is based on rejecting heat at the window versus absorbing the heat like ceramics and other film technologies. Independent industry tests show that absorbing technologies add stress to the glass and are less efficient, therefore inferior. When applied to glass, V-KOOL allows up to 70% of visible light to pass eliminating over 96% of infrared and 99% of ultraviolet light. Retrofit your existing windows or apply to your newly constructed windows. V-KOOL, Inc., the exclusive distributor in the western hemisphere, is the clear choice for your need to block the heat while allowing light to pass through. In most cases, applying V-KOOL Window Films is at least half the cost of replacing your windows with high performance glass. Call us to find how big your savings can be!

Over the last 50 years, the Westport brand has become synonymous with quality, reliability and value. No company in America has built more yachts greater than 100 feet, and few builders worldwide can match the performance, operational flexibility and resale value that Westport designs offer. With a foundation in the demanding commercial passenger ferry and fishing sectors of the marine industry, Westport was among the first boatbuilders to recognize the attributes of all-composite construction. Today, the company’s three Washington-based shipyards continue to work closely with the composites industry to pioneer new techniques and materials for the company’s 112- to 164-foot range of motoryachts, while Westport’s 80,000 squarefoot furniture facility produces both traditional and contemporary joinery that is second to none.
Westrec Marinas is one of the largest national marina operators in the United States, and currently operates a portfolio of over 25 marina facilities. Comprising some 15,000 wet and dry storage spaces, Westrec accommodates vessels ranging in size from personal watercraft to megayachts, served by over 500 employees. Westrec’s consulting experience ranges over one hundred different marina properties and their operational skills are widely recognized. Since 1987 Westrec has constructed, renovated and redesigned over $300 million in marina projects.

“The USSA is of tremendous value to me, enabling me to meet more members of our industry and to strengthen the relationships I already enjoy. Equally important, the USSA serves as a respected voice in Washington on behalf of the industry as well as yacht owners and their crew, beating the drum on key issues that might ordinarily go unnoticed. I’ve seen this influence first-hand, able to add my own voice, and that of my readers, to the chorus, too. Diane Byrne | Megayacht News
