A Greener Future

WITH Joel Katz, MD, CLIA Australasia – Making up less than 1% of
the global maritime community,
cruise is a drop in the ocean when
it comes to commercial shipping.
Yet despite our small footprint,
we are leaders when it comes
to developing responsible
environmental practices and
innovative technologies to reduce
emissions and waste.
Operating sustainably at sea is
a business imperative, it’s in the
cruise industry’s best interest to
keep the world’s oceans pristine,
which is why our member cruise
lines are doing everything they
can to ensure that each new
generation of ships is greener
than the last.
Millions of dollars are being
invested retrofitting existing ships
with the latest clean tech.
The cruise industry is one of the
most heavily regulated maritime
industries with robust, clearly
enforced standards and all CLIA
cruise line members comply with
international, national and local
rules and regulations.
CLIA cruise lines have spent a lot
of time and money to ensure each
new generation of ships is more
eco-friendly than predecessors
and our members are committed
to fitting existing ships with
the latest technology as part of
continued improvements across
the industry.
