RINA Lifecycle Emissions Tool

Le Lifecycle Emissions Tool, développé par le SEA Index en collaboration avec RINA, offre une évaluation complète des émissions de gaz à effet de serre sur l’ensemble du cycle de vie du carburant (well-to-wake).

Plutôt que de ne mesurer que les émissions directes liées à la navigation, cet outil prend en compte chaque étape : production, transport, raffinage et combustion. Il fournit ainsi une vision réaliste et transparente de l’empreinte carbone d’un yacht, quel que soit le type de carburant utilisé, y compris les solutions alternatives comme les biocarburants ou l’HVO.

Grâce au Lifecycle Emissions Tool, le SEA Index renforce sa mission : offrir aux propriétaires et aux chantiers navals une mesure crédible, standardisée et transparente de la performance environnementale, favorisant une transition vers un yachting plus durable.

FAQs

What’s the difference between the quick tool and certification?

The quick tool is just an initial assessment, and is only based on the numbers you enter into the online form. No supporting documentation is required.

Certification is based on the SEA Index methodology and is third-party verified by Lloyd’s Register. Supporting documentation is required to corroborate your data. Obtaining certification will result in benefits at Yacht Club de Monaco’s marina and at other ports and marinas in our network.

Simply input your data into the online form, and you will receive an initial assessment of your yacht’s energy intensity within 24 hours.

You can contact us via phone or email to let us know you would like to start the certification process. After an initial conversation, we will provide you with a list of all the required documentation for certification. Once we have this, it will be uploaded into the Lloyd’s Register dedicated platform.

Sometimes we will require further documentation or clarifications. We are here to guide you through the process and will keep you regularly updated on how the certification process is going.

An official certificate for presenting at our partner ports and marinas, and an improvements document, to explain how you can make your yacht more energy efficient.

Certified yacht’s may be eligible for exclusive benefits at Yacht Club de Monaco’s marina and other partner ports and marinas in our network. This can include discounts and preferential berth.

Providing all required documentation is readily available, the process takes approximately two weeks. In the case it is not available, we will work with you to gather the documentation but the process will take longer.

No, the certification process is completely confidential. There is no direct communication between Lloyd’s Register and you as the owner or representative, and contact details are not shared.

If you receive a high rating and wish to go public, we can support in promoting your rating.

We want to ensure the ability to enjoy exploring the ocean for generations to come. By choosing a less energy intensive yacht your reduced emissions will ensure a more enjoyeable yachting experience and contribute to a healthier ocean.

The ocean absorbs about 30% of the CO2 that is released in the atmosphere, and as levels of atmospheric CO2 increase, acid acidification occurs. The results are devastating for marine life, especially coral reels.

Monaco Scientific Centre report

Global CO2 emissions are internationally recognised as a major driver of climate change and must be addressed.

Nevertheless, in our quest to offer a comprehensive toolkit, SEA Index is currently working on ways to measure other greenhouse gases, including NOx emissions, noise and vibrations and water scarcity on yachts.

Yes, absolutely. We are proud that SEA Index has become the first-choice environmental assessment platform for stakeholders including shipyards, seeking a neutral opinion on their designs. We can provide tools and certification to help them assess their yachts, and we’re happy to support new shipyards in measuring and enhancing the energy intensity of their vessels.
