Marine insurance specialist GJW Direct is launching a new partnership at the Southampton Boat Show with all-in-one navigation app Savvy Navvy – offering customers of its Marina Scheme a free annual navigation subscription.
Kun viimeaikaiset British Marine -tutkimuksen luvut osoittavat, että 20%: n kasvu ihmisten määrä, jotka ottavat vettä ilman muodollista koulutusta, on lisääntynyt 20%, kumppanuuden tavoitteena on myös lisätä luottamusta ja turvallisuutta vesillä.
British Marinen tilaamassa Boating &Boating &Boat Ownership Summer 2022 Survey -tutkimuksessa todettiin, että haastatelluista 21% oli joko itseoppineita tai perheen tai ystävien kouluttamia, ja vain 6% käytti sää- tai navigointisivustoja koulutusresursseina.
Having proudly supported the boating and sailing community since 1826, GJW Direct is partnering with Savvy Navvy to give away more than 6,000 subscriptions for the all-in-one navigation app, which is now used by around half a million users in more than 100 countries around the world.
GJW Directin toimitusjohtaja Lev Osman sanoi: "Ymmärrämme enemmän kuin useimmat, että muodollista koulutusta ei ehkä ole saatavilla tai vaihtoehto kaikille - olemme itse merimiehiä ja monet meistä oppivat tien päällä. Mutta mielestämme on tärkeää antaa merimiehille mahdollisuus lisätä mahdollisuuksiaan rakentaa asiantuntemusta ja torjua kaikkia ongelmia, joita saattaa ilmetä veneiden varusteiden kanssa.
Free Savvy Navvy subscriptions are available to anyone signing up to GJW Direct’s Marina Scheme, which provides specific insurance and special endorsements for anyone keeping their vessel in a marina.
GJW Direct and Savvy Navvy’s partnership first commenced in April 2021, with GJW Direct – part of one of the world’s largest insurance groups – always looking to provide added value to its customers – something it has done for more than 195 years.
On making Savvy Navvy licences available free of charge to its customers, Osman, continues: “Where we can support our customers is through partnerships with the likes of Savvy Navvy, making sure they are as equipped for their trips as possible, and through comprehensive insurance that covers all eventualities and provides that extra peace of mind.”
Founded by former Google Software Engineer Jelte Liebrand, Savvy Navvy set out to simplify boating technology. With its unique, user-friendly features based on feedback from users, such as industry leading departures schedules and enhanced weather model integration with Meteomatics, Savvy Navvy continues to grow across the world.
Jelte Liebrand, Founder and CEO of Savvy Navvy, adds: "Our vision from the outset has been for Savvy Navvy to be in every boater’s pocket, supporting both new and experienced boaters on the water with a simplified navigation solution. With the recent survey showing less than ten percent of people using navigation resources, we are pleased to enhance our partnership with one of the leading marine insurance specialists, so that together we can start changing this through increased access to our all-in-one navigation app.”
