Safeguard Helideck Certification’s Chris Wood chats with Will Mathieson for a Superyacht Report ‘One to One’ on aviation safety, best practice and the future of an evolving market…

Chris has been with the Safeguard Helideck Certification team for five years now. He highlights some of the changes and the progress that he has seen in superyacht design; with the ever increasing demand for both single and dual helicopter landing areas. Yachts are getting bigger and owners are wanting even more from their yacht designers to create a really standout superyacht. In his interview, Chris discusses the need for early engagement with an Aviation Inspection Body (AIB) like Safeguard Helideck Certification. To ensure that designers and shipyards are creating helicopter landing areas that will meet the regulations and can be certified. This is a growing area of work for the Safeguard Helidecks team who all come from a Royal Navy background and are experienced Maritime Aviators.
