Sanlorenzo is calling on European policymakers and port authorities to accelerate investments in alternative marine fuel infrastructure, emphasizing that the future adoption of sustainable yachts will depend more on shore-side preparedness than on technological ability. Executive Chairman Massimo Perotti delivered the message during Venice Climate Week (June 3–8), where he presented the “Venice Call for Maritime Action” in an open letter to Jessika Roswall, European Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience, and a Competitive Circular Economy. Sanlorenzo, a founding partner of Venice Climate Week, also hosted events at its Casa Sanlorenzo venue. The 2026 theme, “Planet Aqua, Planet Peace,” focused on water’s role in climate resilience and global systems. The company participated in the Planet Aqua – World Blue Community Forum, which brings together city leaders, scientists, and maritime stakeholders. In his letter, Perotti said that sustainable marine technologies are already available but cannot scale without parallel investment in infrastructure and fuel supply chains. Sanlorenzo highlighted green methanol as a key challenge, noting that less than 1% of global production currently comes from renewable sources and that it remains concentrated in industrial hubs outside the yachting network. The initiative aligns with Sanlorenzo’s “Road to 2030” strategy and its investment in alternative propulsion and energy technologies across its portfolio, including the development of bi-fuel methanol propulsion following the introduction of the 50Steel Almax in 2024. Bluegame, another Sanlorenzo brand, also developed the hydrogen-powered foiling BGH-HSV chase vessel used during the 37th America’s Cup. The proposal has received support from industry groups, including SYBAss, and academic input from Professor Flavio Manenti of Politecnico di Milano. Sanlorenzo said discussions will continue, with a progress review planned in six months and further engagement expected at the next Venice Climate Week.
