EMC proudly joined KZNEDTEA and NAVIGO on 15 July 2025 for an insightful Round Table Discussion positioning Durban as a Yachting Destination. The session brought together key maritime stakeholders to explore opportunities in the boatbuilding and yachting sectors.

Our MD, Ms Zenzile Gwamanda, contributed valuable insights on the projected growth of KZN’s boatbuilding industry—emphasising the critical role of skills development and enhanced R&D capacity in driving long-term sustainability and innovation.

A key highlight of the day was the signing of a Letter of Intent, paving the way for stronger collaboration and international partnerships in the maritime space.

This marks an exciting step forward in building a vibrant, inclusive and globally competitive oceans economy for KwaZulu-Natal.
