Technology group Wärtsilä has signed a framework agreement with Carnival Corporation, the global cruise ship operator, covering the supply and installation of Wärtsilä’s advanced wastewater and dry waste treatment systems for up to 32 vessels across many of its operating brands, says an article published in shipinsight.
The framework is consistent with Carnival’s policies for compliance with the latest and most stringent environmental legislation.

“We very much appreciate Wärtsilä’s support and their capabilities in delivering high quality, reliable solutions tailored to our specific requirements. The environmental legislation barrier for the cruise industry is set very high, so we seek the latest technologies to ensure compliance. The Wärtsilä solution selected for the framework more than meets this standard,” said Jon McKeown, Senior Vice President global strategic sourcing from Carnival Corporation.
The Wärtsilä equipment will be delivered and installed onboard different ships across many of the operating brands through to 2025.
