Easy ways to Make Your Yacht Operations More Eco-Friendly
As more charter clients prioritize environmentally friendly yachts and yacht owners seek sustainable solutions, Fraser offers expert guidance to make onboard living greener.
From small, no-cost adjustments to more significant changes, here’s how you can help protect the planet while enhancing your yacht’s appeal.
OFFSET YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Carbon offsetting allows you to neutralize emissions from fuel, flights, transfers, and accommodations by funding eco-friendly initiatives like reforestation and wind energy.
- Fraser-managed yachts, such as WHEELS, already use carbon offsetting.
- Fraser also offsets emissions from all corporate travel.
Affordable and effective, carbon offsetting helps you reassure guests that their time aboard is environmentally responsible. Contact Fraser Green Team for assistance.
EMBRACE SUSTAINABLE DINING
Reduce your culinary footprint with these practical tips:
- Source locally: Many yacht chefs already prioritize local produce, but you can go further by planning menus based on the destination.
- Focus on sustainability: Choose seafood with a high sustainability index and incorporate more plant-based meals.
- Minimize food waste: Use onboard systems to convert food waste into grey water.
REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS
With 8 million tons of plastic entering the oceans annually, replacing single-use plastics is a critical step:
- Switch to reusable water bottles made from sustainable materials.
- Use metal, bamboo, or rice straws instead of plastic.
- Provide refillable toiletries and material shopping bags for guests and crew.
- Encourage your crew to join the Clear Ocean Pact.
- For further impact, choose toxin-free, microplastic-free products for cleaning, laundry, and sun care to protect marine life.
OPTIMIZE ENERGY USAGE
Reduce water and electricity consumption onboard:
- Install motion sensor lighting to save power.
- Minimize laundry frequency.
- Shut down non-essential systems when areas are not in use.
CUT FUEL CONSUMPTION
Lowering fuel usage doesn’t have to mean major overhauls:
- Adapt your itinerary to optimal sea conditions to reduce drag.
- Use electric tenders and toys in sensitive marine areas.
- Upgrade to better-quality fuel for cleaner operations.
- Enhance motor noise and vibration reduction with Fraser’s Technical Department.
