As MD of Catalano Shipping’s Indonesia office and the Asia-Pacific Regional Coordinator for the group, Richard Lofthouse is the man to know for visiting superyachts. Regarded by many as the jewel in the crown of South East Asia, Indonesia has attracted private yachts for decades, but complex rules and regulations have kept it firmly off the map for commercial charter. Despite sustained efforts by stakeholders across the superyacht industry, regional governments are not fully signed up to the potential for yacht tourism, a barrier that Richard and his team are working hard to overcome.
