The company has contracted with Green Tech Marine for the outfitting of the scrubbers on Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Gem, Norwegian Pearl and Norwegian Sun. The scrubbers will be installed starting this spring and installation will continue through 2016. Green Tech Marine also supplied the scrubbers on the line\u2019s Hawaii-based Pride of America last year and will deliver 10 scrubbers to the company\u2019s two new builds, Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Bliss, being constructed at MEYER WERFT in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe remain committed to environmental protection at Norwegian Cruise Line,\u201d said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line\u2019s chief executive officer. \u201cTherefore, it is important for us to invest in new technologies, such as Green Tech\u2019s innovative scrubber systems, in order to reduce fuel emissions, overall energy consumption, and the company\u2019s environmental footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green Tech Marine is a world leading scrubber supplier that develops innovative, environmentally friendly, high-performance, energy-saving solutions to the marine industry. Green Tech\u2019s compact scrubber systems will replace the current silencers on all six Norwegian vessels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are very pleased to have Norwegian Cruise Line as a returning customer,&#8221; says CEO Peter Strandberg. \u201cThe decision to install scrubber systems on six additional ships demonstrates Norwegian Cruise Line\u2019s commitment to environmental regulations and reaffirms that Green Tech Marine\u2019s scrubbers have taken a strong position in the exhaust gas cleaning market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to book your Norwegian Cruise Line cruise, please call Premier Custom Travel at (281) 301-5818 or toll-free at (800) 304-6789.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cruise lines are all doing their best to go &#8220;green&#8221; and Norwegian Cruise Line has stepped up by installing new &#8220;green&#8221; scrubbers on six ships.
