BEDnBOATS set to launch in Monaco
[caption id="attachment_2850" align="alignnone" width="640"] BEDnBOATS is an Airbnb-style website to launch in Monaco next month.[/caption]
BEDnBOATS.com platform is set for a high-profile launch in Monaco during the annual yacht show next month, where, under the high patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert, 121 superyachts from 16 countries valued at $3 billion (€2.65 billion) will be on display at the high-profile event from September 28 to October 1.
The new BEDnBOATS.com community provides an affordable alternative to hotel and apartment rental for travellers interested in renting a stationary boat for exciting holidays, romantic escapes and family breaks away. The innovative new platform and its seamless interface make it easy for boat owners to list their boats for free.
Prospective renters can effortlessly find and rent static boats in a location of their choice, from yachts moored in beautiful harbours to unique boat-style accommodations in picturesque locations worldwide.
"We consider the BEDnBOATS.com brand to be an Airbnb-type booking engine for static charter. Renting a boat is no longer limited to those wanting to sail. Now everybody can stay on a boat and enjoy the experience of a boat owner for a fraction of the price," said Amber Bishop, Founder and CEO, BEDnBOATS.com.
The business model is a response to vast opportunities presented by the sharing economy. We connect those who want a unique and special experience with the people who already have this through easy-to-use technology. The sharing economy is reshaping the future of business.''
There is no cost to boat or yacht owners to register their vessel and set their preferred rates. It is an ideal way to help offset the high expenses involved in boat ownership by enjoying a new source of income through the trusted platform. All travellers have to do is decide on their desired destination, travel dates and the number of guests. Users are already enjoying relaxing and exclusive stays in Monaco, Cannes, St. Tropez, Antibes, Barcelona, Ibiza and islands across Italy, and the organisers plan to expand its USA and Caribbean operation in year 2017.
Monaco claims worldwide first in printed reefs
Local News	Staff Writer - November 5, 2017
[caption id="attachment_24639" align="alignnone" width="640"] Photo: L. Arneodo/FPA2[/caption] Six 3D-printed reefs, made from natural products, dolomite sand and volcanic ash, and weighing 2,500 kg each, were submerged in the Larvotto marine protected area in Monaco on the last day of October. This is a first in the Mediterranean and in the world in terms of the size of the printed reefs. This innovative project is led by the Boskalis Company and the ECOMERS laboratory – Nice University and CNRS, France's National Centre for Scientific Research – with support from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and in partnership with the Monegasque Association for Nature Protection (AMPN), which manages Monaco's marine protected areas. [caption id="attachment_24637" align="alignnone" width="640"] Photo: L. Arneodo/FPA2[/caption] By printing artificial reefs with a 3D printer, it's possible to mimic the complexity of the natural environment and therefore encourage the restoration of ecosystems by creating suitable habitats for fish and macro-invertebrates. Major studies have been conducted by Boskalis in order to formulate a material that meets a number of requirements: water resistance, strength, compatibility with 3D printing technology and above all, zero adverse impact on the marine environment. In parallel, research programmes have been set up by Professor Patrice Francour of ECOMERS to select the substrates most favourable for future colonisation by flora and fauna, and to develop a method for measuring exactly the structural complexity of the artificial reefs. [caption id="attachment_24640" align="alignnone" width="640"] Photo: L. Arneodo/FPA2[/caption] Long-term monitoring of the submerged reefs in the Larvotto marine protected area will be put in place very soon by ECOMERS and AMPN. This will make it possible to track the progressive natural colonisation of the reefs, monitoring animal, fish and invertebrate species by counts carried out by underwater diving and photography. At the heart of the Larvotto marine protected area, which is in effect a natural laboratory for scientists, this programme will also further the development of innovative monitoring methods. The experience gained can then be made available for use by managers of marine protected areas who wish to optimise the restoration of seabeds damaged by man's activities.
