Italian classification society RINA
launched a Green Harbor Guide after recently certifying a number of yacht
harbors to ISO 14001 standards. Aimed expressly at marinas and harbors for
recreational craft, the guide specifies different stages a harbor must pass to
obtain international environmental certification. "To date, we have seen a
strong demand for this environmental certification from Italian marinas," says
Domenico Andreis, director of RINA’s certification division. "Now with this
guide we will be able to assist marinas internationally, showing a green
lead to the yachting and recreational craft market." Visit
