Counteract Your Superyacht Carbon Footprint Today

Counteract the unavoidable greenhouse gas impact of your yachting activity today whilst preserving your cruising freedom, “helping the superyacht community to reduce its net environmental impact since 2008”.

Counteract the unavoidable greenhouse gas impact of your yachting activity today whilst enjoying some of the most beautiful places in the world.

Your partner in sustainable yachting.

At Yacht Carbon Offset, we are dedicated to transforming the superyacht industry to be a more responsible and environmentally friendly pursuit. Since 2008, we have been at the forefront of the superyacht industry’s quest to reduce its carbon footprint and embrace more sustainable practices. Our mission is clear: to counterbalance the environmental impact of the superyacht industry, one yacht at a time, making yachting more responsible and less impactful on our planet.

The Benefits of Establishing a Carbon Offset Programme

For less than €0.04 per litre, you can make a significant difference by offsetting your yacht’s carbon footprint. This small investment delivers powerful benefits, as experienced by our clients:

• Environmental responsibility with action: Many of our clients, especially those who share a passion for yachting with a concern for the environment, find great satisfaction in taking concrete action to balance their carbon footprint. Carbon offsetting allows you to enjoy your yachting experience while minimising your environmental impact.
• Enhance your brand reputation: For those with a high public profile (e.g. politicians, celebrities), or businesses with a strong environmental focus, carbon offsetting demonstrates your commitment to sustainability. This can significantly enhance your brand image and reputation.
• Competitive advantage in the charter market: Yachts marketed for charter can leverage carbon offsetting as a positive differentiator. Highlighting environmentally friendly practices in your promotional materials can attract eco-conscious clientele.
• Building stronger relationships with local authorities: Carbon offsetting can help to foster positive relationships with ports and local authorities. In the future, these efforts may be directly recognised through affinity programs, discounts, or priority schemes.

Carbon offsetting is an efficient tool that enables the superyacht community to take concrete steps towards reducing the impact of its carbon footprint. It is the process of compensating for unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions by investing in projects that generate clean energy and support sustainable initiatives.

We work with you to identify emission sources related to your yachting activity, including CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O emissions from fuel, power consumption, and more.

We utilise our bespoke carbon footprint calculator to determine the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with your yachting activity.

Project Selection

We select high-quality projects aligned with your preferences in terms of location and technology. These projects support significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and often benefit communities in developing countries.

To complete the carbon offset transaction, we retire the necessary carbon credits from international registries. This action effectively neutralises your emissions, ensuring a one-to-one offset.

Certificate

Following the offset transaction, we issue personalised Yacht Carbon Offset Certificates . These certificates outline the specific emission sources and the chosen offset project, and we can tailor them to align with your disclosure preferences.

Carbon offsetting is an efficient tool that enables the superyacht community to take concrete steps towards reducing the impact of its carbon footprint.

At Yacht Carbon Offset, we have harnessed this tool to help superyacht owners, captains and yacht managers to make a positive impact on the environment.

First ICVCM CCP® Standardized Contracts Begin Trading on Xpansiv’s CBL Spot Exchange

NEW YORK, LONDON, SYDNEY   — Xpansiv, the leading market infrastructure provider for the global energy transition, launched trading of standardized Global Emissions Offset™ (GEO®) contracts aligned with the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market’s (ICVCM) Core Carbon Principles (CCP) on its CBL spot exchange yesterday.

Mercuria Energy America, LLC, ClimeCo, ElectroRoute, Valitera, South Pole, and Cross Stone Capital were among first-day participants in the new contracts.

A total of 37,606 metric tons were traded via the new CCP GEO contracts amidst widespread interest from market participants globally. The transactions included 10,000 tons of ACR, 15,606 tons of CAR, and 12,000 tons of VCS credits traded through their respective CBL CCP GEO registry-specific contracts. A total of 73,778 tons of bids and offers for the new contracts were posted to the CBL screen during the trading day.

CCP-labelled carbon credits are issued under programs and methodologies independently assessed through the ICVCM’s process to meet high-integrity additionality, quantification of emission reductions and removals, permanence, as well as positive social and environmental impact criteria.

“The launch of Xpansiv CBL’s standardized contracts is an important step to provide transparent price discovery and streamlined market access to buyers and sellers of ICVCM CCP-approved credits,” said Adam Raphaely, Managing Director, Mercuria Energy America, LLC. “Mercuria is pleased to support innovative market-based mechanisms, such as CBL’s new CCP instruments, that have the potential to accelerate and scale climate finance critically needed to drive decarbonization globally”.

“Standardization efforts such as this contract are likely to be very positive for the market, and we are pleased to participate at an early stage, ” said Alex Bryson, Head of Green and Carbon, at trading company ElectroRoute.

“We are pleased to support the launch of Xpansiv’s CBL’s new ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles-aligned benchmark contracts,” said Vincent Verweij, Co-head of Carbon Markets at Valitera. “The Core Carbon Principles, and their corresponding standardized contracts, are an important validation of the voluntary carbon market, which we think will be a useful paradigm for new companies entering the VCM as well as for veteran participants.”

“We support the roll out of Xpansiv CBL’s CCP standardized contracts, which is an important step in enabling market participants to differentiate high-quality credits within the VCM,” said Tyler Hogan, COO/co-CIO of Cross Stone Capital, a leading VCM market maker. “Standardized, exchange contracts are often pivotal to the growth of markets, and we are optimistic the new contracts will play that role in the development of CCP credit trading.”

“We are grateful for the participation of leading market stakeholders in developing our innovative, registry-specific CCP GEO contracts, and particularly to those participants that traded the new contracts on day one,” said Russell Karas, Senior Vice President, Xpansiv. “The ICVCM CCPs are a clear signal of high-integrity carbon credits. They hold the promise of revamping the VCM as additional methodologies are approved and as market participants become familiar with the CCP paradigm and the available streamlined trading instruments, including our standardized contracts.”

The ICVCM developed its CCPs to establish a threshold for high-integrity project credits. The first set of seven qualifying CCP methodologies were announced by the ICVCM in June.

Additional methodologies are expected to be approved in the coming months. Corresponding credits will immediately be deliverable into the respective CCP GEO contract when they are labeled as CCP eligible in their designated registry.

Xpansiv CBL’s new registry-specific GEO® standardized contracts enable buyers to take delivery of CCP-approved credits from the ACR, Climate Action Reserve (CAR), and Verra registries, respectively. New CCP contracts will be introduced as new programs are approved.

The new CCP standardized contracts are settled daily to Platts price assessments from S&P Global Commodity Insights (SPGCI), the leading price reporting agency in the carbon markets.

The CCP ACR contract closed at $2.25, the CCP CAR contract at $9.13, and the CCP VCS at $2.50.

Ocean Terminal (OT) and The Royal Yacht Britannia have agreed a new 25-year lease.

The tourist attraction has committed to a long-term future as part of the multi-million pound redevelopment of the site on Leith's waterfront.

Chris Richardson, managing director of Ambassador Investment Management, the Scottish owners of OT, said: “This is a significant development for the reconfiguration of the site, and we are absolutely thrilled that The Royal Yacht Britannia, one of the UK’s most popular visitor attractions, has agreed a new 25-year lease.

“I am in no doubt this will be a formidable partnership, cementing our position as a leading tourist destination on Leith’s waterfront, furthering our ambitions for the wider regeneration of Leith, and the local community around the site.“

A spokesperson for The Royal Yacht Britannia added: “We are delighted to have secured the long-term future for The Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith as part of the exciting redevelopment of Ocean Terminal, and we look forward to moving into our state-of-the-art visitor centre and fantastic new gift shop in early 2025.”

Britannia is one of the most famous ships in the world, travelling more than a million nautical miles, serving the Royal Family for over 44 years.

First opened in 2001, OT currently occupies three floors and 420,000 sq ft of leisure, hospitality and retail units, including a Vue Cinema, H&M, Boots, Nando’s and Pizza Express; employing more than 625 on-site.
