Green Marine Europe is an environmental certification program dedicated to the European maritime industry.
Green Marine Europe aims to guide the European maritime industry towards environmental excellence. Since its launch in 2020 under license from Green Marine and with the close support of Surfrider Foundation Europe, it has adapted environmental performance indicators for European ship owners and shipyards as part of its certification program. These indicators address issues specific to maritime transport, such as biodiversity protection, air, water, and soil quality, as well as relations with all stakeholders.
Since May 2024, Green Marine International has been the umbrella organisation for Green Marine Europe – which is now an independent legal entity as a French association under the 1901 law, whose articles of association were filed in August 2024 – and Green Marine (Canada/US), founded in 2007. Same mission, same objective: to encourage maritime enterprises to adopt concrete, measurable actions that go beyond regulatory requirements.
In 2024, Green Marine Europe joined the CirclesOfLife consortium. Green Marine Europe is providing its expertise to help create the Shipyard Environmental Performance Indicator (SEPI) and ensure awareness and communication around it and the challenges of decarbonising shipyards.
