HIGH RISK
Benetti Delfino 95 yacht on the water
Green Claims

Benetti Delfino 95

The carbon benefit is lost if the yacht is not used intensively enough.

Scientific result
16% lifecycle carbon benefit from the lighter carbon-fiber Benetti Delfino 95
LCD Intelligence
The 16% benefit is not immediate and is only achieved after roughly 25 years of actively operating the yacht
Green Claim RISKhigh
Requires conditional wording to comply with EU EmpCo
LCD Opportunity Claim
A ~45% lighter carbon-fibre superstructure reduces fuel-related emissions during yacht operation, creating the potential for lower lifecycle carbon impact as operating hours accumulate.
