aluminium copper mining and smelting) and the smallest (1-2%) the Feadship manufacturing (core) impact. Says Loeff, “Knowing this does not release us from the responsibility to reduce the impact of our core process (we certainly make good progress on that) but motivates us to develop the yacht design/system solutions and services to reduce the use phase and start weighting in the impact of our vendors in the procurement process.”
At The Italian Sea Group (ISG), energy consumption, GHG and CO2 emissions are carefully monitored both in the production and yacht utilisation phases.
Monaco Marine also has procedures in place to monitor the risks and environmental impact of its activities. This, explains Chief Operating Officer, David Queva, largely means controlling possible air and water pollution from activities such as paint, varnish, antifouling, carpentry, careening or product spillages. “All activities generate waste,” he explains, “and that needs to be methodically analysed, separated and properly disposed of and or recycled. Smoke released during steel and aluminium works, sandblasting, or chemical release during plate treatments, painting and hull treatments, all need to be considered.”
Green thinking is now an important part of a successful business plan. Says Loeff at Feadship, “We have a lot of roof tops and of course therefore a lot of solar panels. We manage our energy

contracts. We split our waste flow and try to recycle for instance aluminium alloys back to our vendor to further improve the recycling process by not downgrading the material. We invest in testing; for example we look at some 20 different alternative decking materials to consider all the sustainability aspects associated with that.”
Queva says Monaco Marine is committed to long-term environmental protection and to that end has its five “Ocean Care Values” ‘commandments’ operating at each of its yards: The first: Don’t throw anything in the sea: all the yards are fitted with, on the one hand a used water treatment system before it is filtered back to nature and on the other, a water treatment system for collected rain and careening water that is retained and re-used. Says Queva, “We are the only shipyard that does this and it represents an investment of several million euros. This year we completely renovated the water treatment systems at Antibes. In 2023 we will do La Ciotat and Beaulieu, which will cost a million euros at each yard plus the ongoing maintenance costs. We regularly check the air and water quality and the efficiency of the filtration and treatment systems. The second core value is to reduce waste. Waste sorting, recycling and reusing are our priorities.”
In 2019 Monaco Marine launched ‘Project Lean’ with an aim to reduce waste by 20%. Queva adds, “We have collaborated with
