Amsterdam, April 11, 2024– Oceandiva is pleased to announce that Oceandiva Nova, the world’s first carbon 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 her progressive approach to sustainability and state-of-the-art design, Oceandiva Nova promises to be a refreshing new chapter for the events industry. As a shining new star in the sky, she embodies an inspiring example for the sector.


"With the launch of Oceandiva Nova, we are taking a bold step forward in our commitment to sustainability and innovation in the events industry. This ship is not only an embodiment of our ambitions and ecological 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 Oceandiva Nova," says Edwin Petersen, CEO of Oceandiva Group.


Groundbreaking sustainability in style

The Oceandiva Nova’s energy supply is secured by an innovative, CO2-neutral battery system with a capacity of 2.2 megawatts (MW). This capacity not only emphasises the scale of her sustainable ambitions, but also underlines how this advanced technology enables the vessel to operate efficiently and environmentally friendly. Supported by an advanced Power Management System, the batteries ensure optimum energy efficiency. In addition, the vessel will soon have solar panels on the deck, and the use of green electricity 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 environmentally friendly event venues. These measures illustrate 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 is taking 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. The other Oceandiva 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 event industry more sustainable, but also to contribute to a better world. The Oceandiva Nova is the flagship and tangible proof in this mission. Together we sail on this green wave, where every occasion is not just an event, but a "A world apart".
