Its work ranges from educational programmes and environmental protection measures to social aid programmes implemented both in port cities and beyond.
With its new interactive educational project, ‘Guardians of the Sea,’ the shipping company continues to promote sustainability and environmental education. The playful and entertaining way of raising awareness among children and young people between the ages of six and 17 about the protection of the oceans plays a key role here. Through engaging activities, participants are united by curiosity, fun and a love of the sea. In order to avoid language barriers as far as possible, the learning modules are offered in several languages.
On board the ships, disposable plastic items are not used and only cleaning and cosmetic products without microplastics are used. In addition, most of the fresh water required on the ships is obtained and treated by desalinating seawater. Attention is also paid to waste separation and waste reduction.
Thanks to the latest engine technology, the Costa Smeralda can be powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas), the fossil fuel with the lowest emissions, thereby sustainably reducing emissions.
