Green Marine is an environmental certification program that offers a detailed framework for maritime companies to first establish and then reduce their environmental footprint.
Program participants, which include ship owners, ports, seaway corporations, terminals and shipyards, must complete a detailed annual self-evaluation for a series of performance indicators on a 1-to-5 scale. Level 1 constitutes the monitoring of regulations, while level 5 indicates leadership and excellence. In order to maintain their Green Marine certification, participants must demonstrate year-over-year improvement in performance, agree to have their results made public every year and have their self-evaluation reports independently verified every two years.
