Results
The Green Marine Europe program demonstrates year after year its ability to encourage its participants to go beyond regulatory requirements.
Green Marine Europe requires participants to adopt practices and technologies that will have a direct impact on the field.
The annual performance report displays all the individual results of the certified participants in addition to the overall average and an analysis of the environmental performance for the year concerned. Their progress is evaluated on a 1-to-5 scale.
An Environmental Compass
Green Marine Europe presents its 6th set of annual results. The program is now firmly established within the European landscape. Green Marine Europec is a recognised certification by the maritime industry, a steering tool that structures approaches, guides technical choices, and motivates teams. It is a compass in a demanding context, and a map that gives meaning to our actions
Continual improvement
With an average score of 2.3 on a 1-to-5 scale, the overall average for2024 is slightly lower than in 2023 (2.5). Far from being a negative point, this is proof that our participants choose to set demanding benchmarks for themselves – changes to which may require more time to adapt and assimilate. This figure also highlights Green Marine Europe’s commitment to transparency: performance never takes precedence over the spirit of progress and humility that underpins the program.
2024 Highlights
Spread across 12 European countries, Green Marine Europe's membership brings together an increasing number of key stakeholders driven by the same more sustainable vision of our industry.
Decarbonisation: 31% of all participants achieved a level higher than 3 for the GHG performance indicator. This notably includes the development of comprehensive inventories of their emissions.
Continual improvement: Nearly half of the participants improved by at least one level. Additionally, 26% of certified participants maintained their performance level.
Air quality: 64% of ship owners have achieved level 4 or 5 for the SOx - PM indicator, making it one of the best performing indicators in 2024. While 79% reached level 3 or higher for NOx.
For their 2nd year of assessment, shipyards confirmed their commitment to continual improvement with an overall average level of 2.1, which means that 85% of the assessed indicators reached Level 2.
28certified ship owners, 530+ vessels!
The program's growth and appeal are undeniable. The participating ship owners represent a growing a fleet of more than 530 vessels in diverse areas of activity.

Past performance reports
An ocean of possibles
Green Marine Europe presents its 5th set of annual results. This anniversary is an ideal time to take stock of what has been achieved to date, as well as identify the opportunities for an even more sustainable future for the European maritime industry. These five years have reflected the values that drive the program: dialogue, expertise, sharing. These values make Green Marine Europe a community rallied around the reduction of its environmental impacts.
Sustainability, Requisites, Progress
These are what drive Green Marine Europe’s approach! After three years of clear progress, the results for 2022 present a slight decrease in the overall average to put it at 2.6 (on the 1-to-5 scale). The influx of new participants explains this plateau and their generally needed time to familiarize themselves with the program’s requirements.
What progress in just three years!
For its third year of evaluation, the environmental certification program's results demonstrate a continuous improvement in the performance of certified ship owners with an overall average of 2.7 on a scale of 1 to 5.
Past performance reports
Twice the certified ship owners!
For this second year of evaluation, Green Marine Europe has doubled the number of its participants, certifying 11 ship owners. Evolution was also on the agenda in terms of the environmental certification program’s scope, with the addition of an eighth performance indicator relating to ship recycling.
1st cohort performs beyond compliance
Although this is the first year of evaluation and the initial group of certified ship owners, the results already bear witness to their commitment to the environment. In fact, all six ship owners far exceeded the program’s minimum performance requirements for the first year of the certification, obtaining at least Level 2 for one of the indicators.

The environmental certification program’s success is largely based on its ability to identify and address key issues related to sustainable maritime transportation.
