SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
This is an episode of BOAT Radio, recorded live from the BOAT Lounge at the Monaco Yacht Show.
SEA Index® is an independent, data-driven benchmark that measures and compares the CO₂ intensity of a yacht's propulsion and auxiliary energy systems. Developed by the Yacht Club de Monaco and independently verified by Lloyd's Register, the methodology is aligned with the International Maritime Organisation's energy-efficiency principles and provides owners with a transparent, objective way to understand and improve the environmental performance of their vessels. SEA Index also includes an Air Quality Certification, developed with AtmoSud, which assesses nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), providing an independently verified evaluation of key atmospheric pollutants. Today, SEA Index is recognised by more than 26 ports and marinas worldwide and covers both superyachts and recreational vessels from 10 metres LOA and above, including production catamarans up to 35 metres LOA.
In this discussion, we'll speak with M. Bernard d'Alessandri, President of SEA Index - Superyacht Eco Association & Yacht Club de Monaco General Secretary about how the benchmark works, what it reveals about a yacht's energy and emissions performance, and why transparency, comparability and independent verification are becoming increasingly important for the future of yachting. We’ll also hear from the owner of 52m M/Y Oras about why SEA Index is important from an owner’s perspective, improving their yacht’s charter potential, helping them stay ahead of tightening maritime emissions laws and unlocking exclusive maritime perks such as priority berths and premium access to partner ports.
