Amsterdam, April 11 – Oceandiva is pleased to announce that the Oceandiva Nova, the world's first CO2-neutral event ship awarded the Platinum label by Green Award, will be ready to welcome guests in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium from mid-May. With its progressive approach to sustainability and state-of-the-art design, the Oceandiva Nova promises to be a refreshing new chapter for the events industry. Like a bright new star in the sky, she embodies an inspiring example for the sector.


“With the launch of the Oceandiva Nova, we are taking a powerful step forward in our commitment to sustainability and innovation within the events industry. This vessel is not only an embodiment of our ambitions and environmental responsibilities, but also a tangible realization of our promise: “A world apart". We are proud of this milestone and look forward to the many unique moments we will experience together with our guests on board the Oceandiva Nova," says Edwin Petersen, CEO of Oceandiva Group.


Groundbreaking durability in style

The energy supply of the Oceandiva Nova is guaranteed by an innovative, CO2-neutral battery system with a capacity of 2.2 megawatts (MW). This capability not only highlights the scale of her sustainable ambitions but also underlines how this advanced technology enables the ship to operate efficiently and environmentally friendly. Supported by an advanced Power Management System, the batteries ensure optimal energy efficiency. The ship will soon have solar panels on the deck, and the use of green energy on board will further strengthen the sustainable character of the Oceandiva Nova.


An eco-friendly water world

A state-of-the-art PureBlue INNOPACK++ water purification system, known as a 'Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor' (MBBR), purifies wastewater until it is clean enough to return to nature. This system ensures that all water used, whether from laundry facilities or toilets, meets strict environmental standards. Combined with the use of recyclable materials, this positions the Oceandiva Nova as a pioneer in the field of environmentally friendly event locations. These measures are illustrative of how Oceandiva is committed to reducing its environmental footprint and integrating sustainability into all aspects of its operations.


A green course for the future.

Oceandiva takes the lead in sustainable sailing. With the aim of making the entire fleet CO2 neutral and free of fossil fuels, the Oceandiva Nova is leading this green course. Oceandiva's other ships use HVO100 biofuel, derived from 100% certified residual flows, which leads to a significant CO2 reduction of up to 90%. In addition, they further minimize the impact on the environment by using biodegradable oils.


This step is part of Oceandiva's broad strategy to not only make the events industry more sustainable, but also to contribute to a better world. The Oceandiva Nova is the flagship and tangible proof of this mission. Together we sail on this green wave, where every occasion is not just an event, but "A world apart".
