en.Wedoany.com Reported - Port Canaveral has received Green Marine certification for the tenth consecutive year, reinforcing its record of environmental leadership and sustainable performance as a deep-water port.

Captain John Murray, CEO of Port Canaveral, stated that receiving this international certification year after year reflects the port's ongoing commitment to operating responsibly and respecting local natural resources. Bob Musser, Senior Director of Environment, added that environmental responsibility is central to their work, and the Green Marine program encourages participants to go beyond regulatory requirements and continuously improve environmental performance. Maintaining the certification demonstrates the port's dedication to measuring performance, identifying improvement opportunities, and implementing sustainable practices that benefit both operations and the surrounding environment.

Green Marine is a voluntary international environmental certification program covering ports, waterways, terminal operators, shipyards, and shipowners. Port Canaveral has been a member since 2016 and received certification that same year for meeting the organization's stringent environmental and performance standards. Participants are evaluated against a set of performance indicators that go beyond regulatory compliance, including atmospheric emissions (such as greenhouse gases and air pollutants), aquatic ecosystems, community impacts, community relations, environmental leadership, spill prevention and stormwater management, underwater noise, and waste management. Certification requires annual self-assessments and independent third-party verification every two years to ensure accountability and continuous improvement.
