Green Marine Europe at Waterborne Days 2025

From March 18 to 20, Green Marine Europe participated in Waterborne Days 2025, an event organized by WaterborneTP with the support of the European Commission to mark the 20th anniversary of this European public-private partnership. The event brought together leading stakeholders from research, innovation, and the maritime industry around a shared goal: accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable maritime sector.

A committed voice for the sector’s environmental transition

Alongside Rosanne VAN HOUWELINGEN from the CirclesOfLife project, Antidia CITORES, General Manager of Green Marine Europe, contributed to discussions on the challenges and levers of the environmental and energy transition in the maritime sector.

The maritime industry must reinvent itself in light of growing climate imperatives. In this context, Green Marine Europe is a structuring tool supporting shipowners, shipyards, and other maritime players' transformation.

A rigorous and evolving certification program

The Green Marine Europe program supports this transition through an environmental certification approach based on:

• A thorough assessment of environmental performance,
• Evolving criteria that reflect the latest climate and regulatory requirements,
• A structuring framework that helps companies manage their energy transition and go beyond existing standards.

Green Marine Europe is also a partner in the European CirclesOfLife project.

CirclesOfLife: concrete tools for the entire value chain

CirclesOfLife is developing two innovative tools to support the environmental performance of the maritime sector:

• The SEPI (Shipyard Environmental Performance Index), a performance index designed for shipyards,
• The SLP (Ship Lifecycle Passport), a lifecycle passport for ships, designed to track, assess, and improve environmental impact across the entire maritime value chain.

Toward a more resilient, sustainable, and innovative maritime industry

Through their participation in Waterborne Days 2025, Green Marine Europe and CirclesOfLife reaffirm their commitment to building a maritime industry that is more resilient, sustainable, and forward-looking. Together, they are helping to drive a new momentum based on innovation, collaboration, and concrete action.
