Yachting Malta, with the Power4Med project, hosted “Greening the Future: Advanced Tools & Strategic Planning for Marina Sustainability”, a training day for marina managers and staff on greener operations across Malta’s marina network.
Sessions covered environmental resource management, carbon capture, alternative energy, biodiversity and international best practice, with speakers from the Environment and Resources Authority, WestMED, Recowatt and Action for Community Transformation, as well as marina experts from Malta and abroad. A case study from D-Marin Zea Marina and the Ellinikon Project in Athens followed the managers’ recent visit to Greece. The day closed with a workshop on a five-year sustainability roadmap for Malta’s marinas.
“Power4Med has been part of Yachting Malta’s long term sustainability vision, and since joining this project in 2023, Yachting Malta and its stakeholders have been making significant steps in its collaborative efforts to make its marinas sustainable in the longer term,” said CEO Michael Mifsud.
Presenting the certificates, Chairperson Hon. Chris Agius said: “This initiative underscores Yachting Malta’s commitment to promoting sustainability, innovation, and excellence in the island’s maritime sector — an ongoing effort that has been embraced by the industry’s stakeholders.” Power4Med is co-funded by the European Union, and Transport Malta hosted the day at its Lija premises.
