SUPOC (Sustainable Port Certification) is a certification service that evaluates, verifies, and certifies eco-friendly sustainable maritime transport and cruise line operations, as well as ports and marinas for yachts and private boats, along with loading and unloading services. The certification process adheres to relevant national and international legal regulations, standards, and harmonized standards. SUPOC operates on a voluntary basis and is carried out in line with the preferences and specific requests of businesses.
The SUPOC Standard aims to enhance environmentally conscious operations at ports worldwide, promote sustainable shipping, hosting, and accommodation philosophies, and certify compliance with industry-specific regulations and standards focused on marine conservation and biodiversity.
SUPOC also emphasizes environmental leadership, social responsibility, community engagement, and the daily impacts of these efforts at ports. The certification includes the monitoring, verification, and certification of critical aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutants, waste management, aquatic invasive species, underwater noise, spill prevention, stormwater management, dry bulk transportation and storage, and research and development (R&D) initiatives related to both commercial shipping and recreational activities.
Why Choose Sustainable Ports?
SUPOC provides guidelines and standards to reduce the carbon footprint of goods and people transported by sea and to mitigate the environmental impact and pollution caused by yachts and boats at private ports. By adopting new, greener technologies, future fuels, and emission control practices, SUPOC plays a crucial role in preserving the environmental sustainability of maritime transport and certifying these efforts.
