Making Waves: How Our #Refill Awareness Campaign is Transforming Our Fleet

Imagine sailing the high seas with a ship that not only navigates the waters but also  produces its own freshwater, reduces waste, and lessens its environmental impact. That’s the  power of Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology!  

Our recent RO awareness campaign aimed to spotlight this great system. 

Fleet Management ran a successful awareness campaign across our ships to explain the  benefits of RO systems. We also conducted an environmental survey, with 80% of ships  responding, giving us a clear picture of progress. Here is what we learned: 

RO Units and Garbage Reduction 

Half of our fleet has installed RO units as part of a broader garbage reduction initiative. 

By using RO systems, ships can cut down on packaging waste linked to bottled water and  other freshwater storage solutions. 

The Double Benefit: Cleaner seas and fewer waste management challenges onboard.

Aligning with Sustainability Goals 

RO systems align perfectly with our broader environmental strategy by: 

1. Conserving Natural Resources: Every tonne of water produced onboard saves an  equivalent amount of freshwater from being drawn from natural reserves. 
2. Supporting Circular Processes: RO units enable vessels to recycle and reuse water  efficiently, fostering a more sustainable operational model. 
3. Environmental Impact: Producing freshwater onboard minimizes the need for shore based supply, cutting down on the emissions associated with transport. 

What’s Next for RO Adoption? 

While the campaign has already driven significant adoption, there’s room for more growth.  Moving forward, we aim to: 

• Support Fleet-wide Installation: Share best practices from vessels that have  successfully integrated RO systems. 
• Build Awareness: Continue educating crews on the operational and environmental  benefits of RO systems. 
• Track Progress: Regularly monitor and report on freshwater savings and waste  reduction achieved through RO adoption. 

Celebrating Your Efforts 

We couldn’t have achieved these milestones without the incredible participation and  commitment from our crews and tech teams. Thank you for embracing this technology and  making sustainable shipping a reality. 

Let’s keep the momentum going! Whether your ship is just starting its RO journey or has fully  integrated the system, every step counts toward protecting our oceans and reducing our  footprint. 

Together, we’re proving that sustainability is not just a goal—it’s a journey we’re navigating  with determination and success.
