Holland America Line’s ms Zaandam First Cruise Ship to Sail with Revolutionary Emissions Reduction Technology

When Holland America Line’s ms Zaandam sets sail from Vancouver, B.C., on Earth Day, April 22, it will be unlike any other cruise ship at sea, featuring new cutting edge emission reduction technology recently installed during a two-week drydock. In cooperation with several United States and Canadian government and regulatory agencies, Holland America Line has launched a technology demonstration project, designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using sea water to “scrub,” or reduce, engine emissions on oceangoing vessels.
