As all powerboats are well known to be environmentally MOST unfriendly, it's always nice to see a large fuel-powered yacht being rewarded for taking steps to go a little Green.

On the closing date of the Monaco Boat Show, 28 September 2013, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco awarded the megayacht Benetti FB263 m/y Ocean Paradise with the RINA Green Plus prize for the solutions studied and adopted in the field of environment protection.

The 55m Ocean Paradise is one of the latest creation of the Tuscan shipyard and has been one of the queens of the Monaco Yacht Show 2013.
