Painting the outer skin of the hull
In order to keep fuel consumption as low as possible, it is important to prevent fouling of the hull without harming the environment. This is achieved by using a TBT- and biocide-free coating on the hull.

Waste treatment and prevention
In accordance with international regulations, our waste management plan provides for the conscientious separation of waste, which is recycled by specialist companies in suitable ports or disposed of if necessary. Packaging material is not used in accordance with hygiene regulations. Where possible, we use paper and cardboard-like materials that can be reused after appropriate processing.

Water management
The HAMBURG has an effective osmosis system that can be used to treat salt water for consumption on board. Waste water is disposed of properly in port.

Biodegradable products
All cleaning and care products used on board are biodegradable. Inorganic products have not been used for years due to their harmful effects on health and the environment.
