Bernard Vivegnis 1962 to 2024

Bernard Vivegnis  Surveyor | Master Mariner

It is with a very heavy heart that we have just received news from Petra that Captain Bernard Vivegnis has passed away. We will miss our friend and colleague very much. He was an integral part of the MRMC team over the past 4 years and I have known Bernard on a personal and proffessional level since 2007. There will be a memorial at the BRYC, Brussels in October, date to be announced. Rest in Peace Bernard.


Bernard Vivegnis sailed all over the world on tankers for 15 years, stepping ashore as master. For the next 15 years, he was a teacher, a DPA/CSO, and a class surveyor.

In 2012, Bernard elected to go back to sea and was captain on some pretty fine yachts. Among them, “Legend” that Bernard helped rebuild to award status, and the unique “SS Delphine”, the last large steam yacht in commission today.
