MYBA Charter Show 2020 Cancelled

The 32nd edition of the MYBA Charter Show, due to be held at Marina Port Vell in April, has been cancelled. In a statement, the MYBA board said: “Further to our communique dated 5 March regarding the MYBA Charter Show, we would like to inform you that the MYBA Board held a conference call yesterday to further discuss the holding of the MYBA Charter Show in Barcelona in the current environment.”

It added: “The COVID-19 virus situation has evolved rapidly over the last few days and, unfortunately, developments have not been favourable. The Board therefore finds itself in a Force Majeure situation vis-à-vis its contractual obligations and considers it is best not to proceed in these unprecedented circumstances.”

“This is undoubtedly very disappointing news,” it continued, “however, taking into consideration the information that is currently available and the health of our members and all show participants being one of MYBA’s key priorities, it is not possible to ensure the show is organised in the safe and productive environment that we are recognised for by the superyacht industry.”
