REFIT SHIPYARDS
International laws (European in this case) are giving direction to this which results in the yards actively developing sustainable programmes. We are using the UN sustainability goals as a guide and a simple but known sustainability philosophy of balancing the 3 Ps - People, Planet, Profit.”
Since 2020, Royal Huisman has complied with the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), which is reviewed by an external audit agency every four years. Recently, the shipyard’s energy consumption status and goals were once again approved. The yard is currently
reviewing and preparing for the Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which will be required FY2025. By 2024/2025, there will be a comprehensive overview of all aspects and upcoming actions to ensure compliance with the EU targets set for 2030 and onwards. The shipyard is also preparing to comply with non-financial disclosure regulations and the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. This process will help refine its sustainability strategy and establish targets to reduce its impact in alignment with the COP20 Paris goals.

Legislation lags perhaps in striking the super-rich industry with stringent legislation but the shipyards themselves recognise the value of their future eco responsibilities.
IMM hopes to focus on the reduction of its carbon footprint by investing in green energy. And at RMK Marine they are also

focusing on energy efficiency projects: As at Royal Huisman solar panels on the roofs of the administrative buildings and all the lighting at the shipyard has been converted to LED. Diesel forklifts have been replaced with electric.
Adria Docks will continue the water jetting projects etc., and it also plans to introduce wind and solar power to the site of our production processes.
Jelle Engel has great ambitions to see KM Yachtbuilders become the ‘Patagonia’ brand of the yachting industry: He says, “There is a lot of work to do and a lot that we can gain, we see many chances and look up to a brand like Patagonia. Our product gives you the opportunity to explore, learn and enjoy places that are not easy to enter, our fanbase and user group is already closer to nature than the average person, so that gives us the chance to act as an example for the industry.”
THUMBS UP FROM THE OWNERS?
More and more customers are requesting environmental friendly solutions says Engel; “We realise we need to stay ahead of the market and deeply understand what people are looking for and why. We test new applications ourselves before we advise customers. Some customers are really demanding sustainable solutions, most of them get inspired when we show examples of what is possible like the case study yacht - the Bestevaer 36.”
