The cruise industry is one of the larger investors in environmental technology to help preserve the oceans and protect the port communities it serves, and to date it has invested more than £16.8 billion in ships with new technologies and cleaner fuels to reduce air emissions.
Even in the face of the pandemic, the industry remains committed to pursuing resources and funding to identify new fuel sources and technologies.
Compared with hotels and land-side resorts, ships feature some of the most advanced wastewater treatment and recycling systems: some can repurpose 100% of waste generated onboard – removing, reusing, recycling and converting waste to energy.
