Traveling by ferry: The most sustainable way to respect our environment

ENVIRONMENT

We RESPECT OUR PLANET and work for the preservation of natural resources and the conservation of the ecosystems in which we operate.

The ferry companies we work with are committed to preventing pollution, reducing the waste they generate, preserving the sea, and researching and investing in new technologies that reduce the use of fossil fuels and adapt green energy to their vessels.

We collaborate in the search, development, and promotion of our commitment to the Environment. We share with our suppliers their interest in implementing environmentally friendly processes.

SAFETY AND HEALTH

Safety and health of both customers and workers onboard and onshore are a priority for the ferry companies we work with.

These companies offer safe facilities and services for both the enjoyment of passengers during their journey and for their workers to carry out their tasks in a healthy work environment.

They also provide the training and resources necessary to ensure workplace safety throughout their operations.

They evaluate production processes by identifying potential hazards in order to eliminate them or establish the necessary safety measures to eliminate any risk.

In-house safety teams and external consultants work together with ferry employees to achieve the goal of Maximum Safety.

I LOVE FERRY: ECO

Since its creation, I Love Ferry has advocated for the conservation of natural environments and the use of less polluting modes of transport as a basic principle of its vision of travel.

Part of our efforts focus on supporting the dissemination of environmental management actions, studies, and progress made by our partners.

Together with the companies we work with, we are committed to continuing to promote passenger transport that respects the environment in which it operates.

We advocate for a cleaner environment, respecting the waters navigated by these companies' vessels, preserving their seabeds and the territories that protect them.

WHAT DO WE DO?

The ferry companies we work with are renewing their fleets with this objective in mind.

In constructing their new vessels, they use new materials to replace those that are more polluting, such as plastic.

Onboard waste recycling processes have been improved to give waste a second life, either by reusing it or by creating new materials.

In collaboration with technology universities and private companies, they work to find more efficient fuels.

New engines have been added to existing ships, and less polluting fuels are being used, reducing the carbon footprint emitted into the atmosphere.

Some companies have added eco-friendly ferries that minimize fuel use, especially during port maneuvers, reducing water and noise pollution.

These and many other actions developed to conserve territories and their environments (training, awareness, and environmental action) are the foundation of our environmental principles.

I Love Ferry and the ferry companies it collaborates with believe that respecting and contributing to the development of the communities in the areas they operate is a fundamental part of maintaining environmental surroundings.

Through foundations, conferences, and training courses, employees, visitors, and customers are educated on the ecological practices being implemented on ships and methods to improve environmental standards.

Volunteer practices are promoted (marine waste collection and seabed cleaning), awareness campaigns against pollution ('Fight Against Trash Nature' program), and responsible fossil fuel consumption by promoting the use of alternative mobility (Ferry) over more polluting options (Plane).

We make the environmental concerns of our collaborators' areas of operation our own and help promote practices that improve them.

We believe that a business environment respectful of nature not only enhances the customer's experience but also increases the benefits for the people living and working in these areas.

Our customers' decisions to choose the ferry as a more environmentally friendly means of transportation over more polluting options – like airplanes – motivate us to keep advocating for ferries as a safe, less polluting alternative.
