The Eco Crew
organisation is collecting surplus supplies from superyachts for
charities. Operated by Sheila and David Goddard of Environmental
Yacht Services, Eco Crew will come to your yacht to pick up
surplus or no longer required clothing, bedding, linen and dry
foods. The charities they work with guarantee that any materials
with yacht names on will not be distributed in the region, but
far away. One of the charities that Eco Crew support is Seborga
nel Mondo (Seborga in the World), a charity based in the Ancient
Principality of Seborga that is surrounded by Italy and
overlooks the French Riviera and Monaco. Several times a year
they take vital supplies to Moldova, the poorest country in
Europe. Eco Crew also work with the Red Cross and Restaurants du Couer. In this video report from RivieraLife.tv we visit Seborga
and hear about Eco Crew activity and its work with Seborga nel
Mondo. |

The 21st
Monaco Yacht Show, 21-24 Sep 11, was a tale of two recessions.
The super rich continue to commission superyachts of 50
metres and more, whilst there are fire sales for second
hand smaller yachts that have flooded the market.
Meanwhile, the regulators are catching up with this
offshore business, with new laws regulating crew and
safety conditions.
