Sets out short and long-term objectives and is a cornerstone
of Costa Cruises’ approach to sustainability.
Complies with the directives defined in the Environmental
Plan and is implemented on board and in the shoreside
offices. Responsibility for this rests with the
Marine
OperationsDepartment
1
, which is in charge of guaranteeing
compliance with the relevant rules and regulations, defining
improvement objectives and the investment plan (for the
fleet and
shoreside
activities), monitoring
performance
indicators and managing projects to reduce the Company’s
environmental footprint. Shipboard coordination is the
responsibility of the
Environmental Officer
, who oversees
implementation of procedures and monitors the ship’s
environmental performance.
Required by
IMO
regulations, the Plan provides details of the
energy-saving efforts for that particular ship, namely a series
of actions ranging from streamlining of various processes
to the implementation of technical measures and ship
maintenance.
Constitutes the main means of monitoring the environmental
performance of each ship, devising new action plans,
realigning programs and setting new objectives. The platform
also provides access to training materials and the associated
documentation (e.g. operational procedures, manuals etc.).
Provides specifications for the management of the different
waste streams in accordance with the
MARPOL
Convention.
All shipboard employees receive regular training tailored to
their specific job responsibilities. In 2015 Costa delivered
a total of 112,240 environmental training hours for crew
members and Officers, an increase of 6.3% compared to
2014.
