MARITIME SUSTAINABILITY PASSPORT® (MSP) Program is a two-phase assessment evaluation program. The Initial Phase begins with supplying your basic general information that, once completed, and reviewed by the NAMEPA team, you or your organization will be notified to progress onto the next and Final Phase.

 If you are filling out this form on behalf of your company/organization/institution, please use the official company/organization's email address. Otherwise, it is acceptable to use your personal email.
 Please complete the Initial Phase questions below. Once started, you will have 48 hours to complete and submit the form. Please note questions with (*) are required.

If documentation is required to be uploaded, please be advised the following formats are accepted: doc, docx, pdf, png, jpg, xls, xlsx. You will have the opportunity to upload up to three documents per question.

 If, for legal reasons, it is not feasible to upload your company's documents, you may copy the Table of Contents of the document along with “key” paragraphs that refer to the question asked.
  Please note the stakeholder category that you choose in this phase is very important, as this will determine the Stakeholder Category and Group Number (1,1A, 2 or 3) you or your organization belongs to and the correct questionnaire you will receive for the Final Phase.

NAMEPA’s criteria:

To safeguard the integrity of the MSP program, NAMEPA employs stringent criteria and partners with an independent third-party auditor – ESGPlus LLC. to conduct the assessments impartially and to ensure that the results accurately reflect a company’s sustainability practices. The MSP program mandates that companies provide verifiable evidence of their sustainability practices and performance, which undergoes verification.

 Furthermore, NAMEPA periodically reviews and updates the MSP assessment criteria to ensure that they remain relevant and aligned with current sustainability best practices. This helps to prevent companies from engaging in superficial sustainability practices that do not have a meaningful impact on the environment or society.

 NAMEPA remains dedicated to maintaining the transparency and credibility of the MSP program, which promotes genuine sustainability and responsible practices in the maritime industry.

NAMEPA recognizes that some of the information submitted during this process may be commercially or legally sensitive.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

Please be advised that every MSP Program applicant is subject to evaluation based on the information provided, presumed to be true and accurate. The continuous evaluation process may be terminated if performance benchmarks are not achieved.
