Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings joined forces with Global Maritime Forum, an international non-profit company that is “committed to shaping the future of global seaborne trade to increase sustainable long-term economic development and human wellbeing,” NCL Holdings said.

“The new partnership closely aligns with the company’s efforts to drive a positive impact on society and the environment through its global sustainability program, Sail & Sustain, including its commitment to pursue net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050,”  the company said.

In April, NCL Holdings, parent of Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, announced new short- and near-term greenhouse gas emissions targets as part of its commitment to becoming net zero by 2050.

“We are pleased to partner with the Global Maritime Forum and join its flagship initiative, the Getting to Zero Coalition, as we believe cross-sector partnership is a catalyst for innovation and effective change,” said Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Harry President and Chief Executive Officer Harry Sommer.

“We look forward to collaborating with other like-minded and solution-oriented stakeholders on meaningful initiatives to drive a positive change, strengthen resilience, accelerate decarbonization efforts and best position the maritime industry for a bright future ahead.”

Added Global Maritime Chief Executive Officer Johannah Christensen: “The cruise segment is a critical part of the global maritime industry, and we are confident that Norwegian will bring a diverse perspective and valuable expertise to our collaborative platform of maritime leaders.”
