The Marinedi Group, the leading marina network in Italy, announces its participation in the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, which will be held from 10 to 15 September.
“Last year we launched an ambitious five-year programme of autonomous energy supply with renewable sources, which aims to make our marinas more sustainable”, said Renato Marconi, Marinedi CEO. “Our participation in the Cannes Boat Show will be an important opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to improving the quality of the environment in port locations and to present the progress made within the scope of this project. We want to continue to be a point of reference for innovation and sustainability in the Italian and international port sector”.
Specifically, the programme envisages the production of energy from renewable sources (small wind turbines, thermal and photovoltaic solar energy, etc.), the energy efficiency of port buildings and public lighting systems, the use of electric means of transport (scooters, pedal-assisted bicycles, electric cars), overhauls of inefficient port energy infrastructures, and the construction of infrastructures for the reduction of polluting emissions from boats on the quayside.
This programme is aimed at significantly reducing combustion pollutant emissions, which are mainly responsible for the deterioration of the air quality in port locations. This will help increase the competitiveness of the Italian port system, with a view of reducing climate-altering emissions.
Marinedi is looking forward to seeing you at the Cannes Yachting Festival at the Palais des Festival 049
Industry operators, boating enthusiasts and all those interested in learning about Marinedi Group’s initiatives are invited to an aperitif at the stand on Saturday, 14 September at 5.30 p.m.
