MARITIME AWARD:
LAST month, CLIA accepted
the 2015 Maritime Award of the
Americas in Panama, in recognition
for its industry-wide mandatory
Waste Management Policy.
CLIA Cruise Line Members
must implement this policy
which specifies a range of Waste
Management practices that go
above and beyond existing legal
requirements.
Some ships are already
repurposing 100% of the waste
generated on board by reducing,
reusing, donating, recycling and
converting waste into energy.
Careful waste management and
recycling practices ensure that
unrecyclable waste on cruise ships
can be less than 1kg per person a
day compared to the average of
more than 2kg per person on land
in the USA! In an average year, the
cruise industry recycles 80,000
tons of paper, plastic, glass and
aluminium cans.
The award was presented by
a division of the Organization
of American States (OAS) and
accepted on behalf of CLIA
Members. The award process was
highly competitive reinforces that
CLIA is succeeding in creating
measurable outcomes and
significant sustained impact.
