UK-based operator Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has banned plastic straws and cutlery onboard its four ocean cruise ships as part of its efforts to reduce waste and single-use plastics. Fred. Olsen has introduced several waste-saving initiatives to decrease, and where possible eliminate, single-use disposable plastics onboard Balmoral, Braemar, Boudicca and Black Watch. It also aims to reduce the amount of plastics its uses for operations and will work to help suppliers minimise single-use plastics too. Some of the initiatives include removing single-use coffee cups from Bookmark Cafés; reducing the consumption of cling film; replacing plastic laundry bags with linen ones; and replacing plastic packaging used for single-serve portions of jam, butter and milk in the restaurants, buffets and room service orders. The cruise line will also use ropes to secure items during rough seas, rather than plastic.
