Green Marine is an environmental certification program for the North American marine industry.
It is a voluntary, transparent and inclusive initiative that addresses key environmental issues through its 14 performance indicators. Participants are shipowners, ports, terminals, Seaway corporations and shipyards.
In 2019, the Surfrider Foundation Europe’s project team collaborated with Green Marine’s team to coordinate the adaptation of Green Marine’s North American environmental certification program in Europe. The key players in this adaptation consist of a group of European shipping companies and maritime transportation stakeholders, thereby creating a mechanism that supports them in improving their environmental performance on a European scale.
