Alcudiamar Awarded for Sustainability
At last weekend’s Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous 2024, local marina Alcudiamar received an award for the most sustainable and intelligent marina.
The Monaco Yacht Club hosted the international networking and debate event on September 22 and 23 and welcomed different sectors from the international superyacht industry to the Principality. Architects, start-ups, marinas, captains’ associations and technology and sustainable solutions companies converged to share experience and knowledge in Monaco, proclaimed as the “Capital of Advanced Yachting”.
Alcudiamar was at the event for the first time, which this year celebrated its fourth edition. Mar Vera, Head of Expansion and Sustainable Development at Alcudiamar, participated in the round table “How can technology optimise unique nautical experiences?”, which discussed how innovation and new applications can improve navigation and communication experiences between users and marinas, among other aspects. Also participating in the same panel were Kelly Gordon, North American yacht captain and Instagrammer, Stavros Katsikadis, CEO of the prestigious Marina Flisvos and president of the Association of Marinas of Greece, and finally Randy Durband, CEO of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, an NGO created by the United Nations, and an expert in tourism.
As a culmination of these two days of debate and networking, the Smart & Sustainable Marina Awards 2024 were presented. Alcudiamar was awarded in the category of the most sustainable and intelligent marina. Other categories awarded included the best Start-up, best Scale-up and best architectural studio.
In the words of Mar Vera, “it has been a real pleasure to participate in these two days of intense networking and camaraderie with professionals of such a high level in the sector. This award is a recognition of the hard work of the entire Alcudiamar team over many years, so I also thank each one of them and the organizers of the event for this honour.”
