SEA Index adopted by 15 ports on Cote d’Azur
The SEA Index was developed with the Yacht Club de Monaco in 2020.
The SEA Index carbon assessment tool for superyachts is now recognised in 15 harbours and marinas on France’s Cote d’Azur and Corsica.
The tool, developed in 2020 with the Yacht Club de Monaco, measures the carbon emissions of superyachts over 25m to help the owners and the wider industry prioritise best practices and reduce their environmental impact.

The network of ports could use the index as a basis to allocate berths to the least impacting yachts, particularly in high season.
“The SEA Index has become an essential tool. And I would like us now to go even further by measuring other greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution which is a major concern,” said HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Bernard d’Alessandri, general secretary, Yacht Club de Monaco added: “Our aim is to federate harbours and marinas across the Mediterranean and beyond by creating a network of committed territories.”
The SEA Index was recently awarded the CAPENERGIES label recognising innovation and economic potential.
