Plastic Water Bottles Banned

SDG Responsible Consumption & Production Icon

Plastic water bottles banned

In 2019, we launched a project to install enhanced water purification units onboard our ships to reduce dependency on plastic bottles. Six purification units were installed on each vessel: engine room, bridge, mess room, and three decks in accommodation.

Building on this investment, we formalised the phase-out of plastic bottled water in 2024 through a fleet wide ban on onboard purchases and use of plastic bottled water.

As a result of these measures, we estimate that more than 3.3 million plastic water bottles were avoided across our fleet between 2019 and the end of 2025, helping to reduce plastic waste and support more sustainable operations at sea.
