Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has become the first company in the cruise sector to earn Silver Carbon Literate status from The Carbon Literacy Project. The company has trained 40% of its workforce to identify and reduce carbon impacts across shipboard and shore-side operations. Practical outcomes of the training include the digitalization of ship services and comprehensive reviews of water and waste management. The initiative aims to embed carbon awareness into the company onboarding process to support long-term decarbonization goals.

Training is a start, but I want to see the actual reporting standards they are using. Carbon literacy is a soft metric. The real test is whether this leads to a change in procurement rules or fuel switching.

Exactly. Digitalizing some services is low hanging fruit. Does this training address the actual energy density problem of cruise ships or just how to recycle better on board?

The water and waste reviews are the only concrete parts here. Those usually have the fastest payback periods. I wonder if they are looking at shore power connections to cut port emissions.

Basically a story about staff training. It is good that they are getting people on board, but the article is light on how this actually moves the needle on total fleet emissions.
