The Ripple Effect - Regent Seven Seas Cruises® Elevates its Sail & Sustain Program
Considering it relies on accessing some of the most far-flung and fragile ecosystems on the planet, Regent Seven Seas Cruises® is passionate about preserving the environment for future generations.
Via its Sail & Sustain program, several initiatives are aimed to hold the company, and its global team, accountable for sustainable growth and its fleet of ships.
Here are several ways eco-conscious cruising may have a positive ripple effect:
Water Conservation – Focused efforts on increasing water production onboard employ sophisticated plants that use seawater as their source, which in turn, reduces the need for bunkering fresh water. This is particularly important in countries where fresh water is limited and needed for local populations. There are two systems installed on ships-reverse osmosis and evaporators-that treat and recover fresh water.
Wastewater Treatment System – Regent’s ships are equipped with Advanced Wastewater Purification systems (AWPs). Plus, each ship’s wastewater is tested weekly by in-house environmental officers as well as quarterly by a third party. Regent makes it a priority to ensure ships continue to meet all wastewater standards.
Fuel & Energy Efficiency Regent is hyper-focused on continuous energy improvement and has explored new opportunities as its fleet grows. One of the most successful onboard programs is Wasted Heat Recovery (WHR). This process works by recovering heat from the engines and transferring it to freshwater piping, which allows ships to use a free source of energy for improving water productions and saving fuel.
