TECHNICAL

Raffles is not just your home! It is much more. A specially designed and engineered ship that because it is legally considered as a commercial passenger ship, has to comply with Isle of Man Government and international (IMO) standards. Combined with Lloyd’s Register demands these are the most stringent in the world.

As a home, that is owned by its occupants it also has to last a very long time, 100 years, and be totally reliable and economical to operate and be ultra safe!!!

To FVH knowledge no ship in the world, not even one planned for, even aspires to achieve or provide all this?

Raffles does, and is a one of a kind ship!

Where Lloyd’s or LR appear this refers only to Lloyd’s Register unless otherwise notified. The other Lloyd’s that is also involved with Raffles is the Lloyd’s (of London) insurance market which is a separate entity.
