Philippe Donche-Gay, president marine & offshore, Bureau Veritas commented: ‘MSC Cruises has demonstrated its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their operations and we commend the Company for its wide-ranging, ongoing efforts in this space. The various sustainable and environmental technologies installed on the MSC Meraviglia, put the ship at the forefront of cleaner cruise operations.’
The 8 Golden Pearls notation recognizes MSC Cruises’ efforts on MSC Meraviglia in eight particular domains of protection, specifically demonstrated by the following examples: an exhaust gas cleaning system; advanced waste water treatment system as well as a holding capacity and non-discharge operation of two days; the ship’s ISO 50001 certification for efficient energy management and its OHSAS 18001 certification recognising efforts in establishing a comprehensive occupational health and safety management system.
In addition, the ship meets the ISO 22000 standard for food safety across the entire food supply and preparation chain from ‘farm to fork’ and has earned ISO 14001 for environmental management systems, and has BV’s ‘CLEANSHIP’ notation.
171,598gt MSC Meraviglia, joined MSC Cruises’ fleet on June 4, 2017 and will spend this summer season in Northern Europe, home-porting from Hamburg visiting North Sea, Baltic and Norwegian ports.
