The SEA Index® flagship CO₂ certification provides a clear, reliable view of your yacht’s environmental performance using IMO‑aligned EEDI/EEXI principles and benchmarking against a fleet of 800+ yachts. Now enhanced with our new Air Quality Certification developed with AtmoSud, using AIS data from 2,000 yachts over 24 metres, the SEA Index® toolkit assesses both CO₂ output and key pollutants (NOx and PM) for a broader greenhouse gas picture of your vessel’s impact.
