	t ports in The Netherlands, Belgium, Lithuania, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, and in New Zealand the Green Award vessels get a premium incentive based on port dues. Private companies also appreciate the extra quality, which Green Award guarantees. Several interesting incentive providers, government institutions as well as private companies, grant premiums to a vessel with a Green Award certificate. You will find the list of incentives here. Extra Benefits Green Award helps ship owners and vessels to distinguish themselves. Shipping companies and vessels that achieved the Green Award certification are permitted to this distinction. Experience shows that customers and service providers value this opportunity to work with Green Award vessels. This can lead to a strong starting point in negotiations with insurers, but also to a position as preferred supplier for shippers who value a high quality image. New incentives for owners of Green Award vessels Owners of Green Award vessels may expect that more and more ports, port related industries and institutions would provide incentives. The idea that safe, clean shipping is in the interest of all, involved with shipping, has become generally accepted. The Green Award Foundation approaches authorities and industries in all seaports to create a platform for further growth of the number of incentive providers. Both owners and managers of Green Award vessels can be sure that Green Award is constantly promoting their ideas to potential incentive providers and ports to make them aware that they too can make a difference in the maritime environment.
