Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) announced that the Norwegian Sun received the Port of San Francisco’s Cruise Ship Environmental Award.

The three categories evaluated are air emission reduction, wastewater treatment and recycling and disposal programs for solid waste. “With our clean fuel strategy using low-sulfur fuels while in port, along with reducing air emissions, advanced wastewater treatment and recycling and disposal of solid waste, we have demonstrated our commitment to maintaining the highest level of environmental protection standards,” said Bill Hamlin, NCL’s executive vice president of fleet operations. “The Port of San Francisco commends NCL for its dedication to sustaining a clean environment,” said Peter Dailey, maritime director for the Port of San Francisco.
