This year’s Cannes Yachting Festival (2024) became the stage for a turning point in yacht intelligence: the handover of the world’s first Digital Yachting Certificate, awarded by RINA to Sanlorenzo for achieving outstanding standards in onboard data management — powered by D.gree technologies.
The certification, granted to the fifth unit of the SP110 line, represents more than a recognition of innovation. It reflects a broader shift in the industry — from mechanical precision to digital verification, where yacht performance and safety are assessed through data-driven parameters aligned with new market and regulatory demands.
For D.gree, it marks a defining role as a trusted technological partner, helping shipyards translate digital ambitions into measurable progress, with tailor-made systems designed to turn information into assurance.
A new global standard for Digital Yachting
The new RINA Digital Yacht Class Notation establishes a reference framework for the certification of intelligent vessels.
It sets requirements for the design, monitoring, and remote management of both essential and non-essential onboard systems — ensuring that digital transformation never compromises reliability or safety.
Through this collaboration, D.gree supports Sanlorenzo in meeting key certification criteria, including:
- Computer-Based Systems (CBS): Simplified hardware and software standards for yachts below 500 GT.
- Data Shore Transfer (ADC): Secure and verifiable data transmission between yacht and shore.
- Cyber Safety: Advanced protection standards for yachts with SL > 500 GT, defending critical digital assets from emerging threats.
From monitoring to remote intelligence
Beyond compliance, D.gree delivers a new layer of capability: remote supervision and predictive awareness.
At the heart of this innovation lies H-Log, the onboard SCADA system capable of collecting hundreds of parameters in real time — from alarms and performance data to the functional states of critical systems.
Its architecture is built around intelligent edge nodes, designed for optimized, high-frequency data acquisition and seamless communication with the H-System platform. Together, they form a distributed infrastructure where every yacht becomes a live digital twin — accessible both locally and remotely through an intuitive graphical interface.
This ecosystem gives captains, owners, and shipyards full situational awareness, enabling them to analyze scenarios, anticipate anomalies, and ensure reliability and safety at all times.
The future of certified intelligence at sea
D.gree’s contribution to Sanlorenzo’s digital evolution underlines a shared vision: to make yachting not only smarter, but certifiably intelligent.
As the industry moves toward a new digital standard, D.gree continues to bridge maritime heritage with data science — providing captains and owners with the deterministic tools they need to navigate the future of the sea.
