Carnival Corporation, the world’s leading cruise operator, announced the completion of a fleetwide rollout of LR OneOcean’s EnviroManager+ software. This marks a significant development in streamlining environmental compliance and passage planning for cruise lines. The new system is the result of a five-year collaboration between Carnival Corporation and LR OneOcean, combining expertise from maritime officials, crew members, environmental specialists, and technology innovators.

EnviroManager+ addresses the challenge of navigating the ever-changing web of environmental regulations across the globe. Carnival Corporation’s vast fleet operates in diverse locations with varying environmental requirements, making it crucial for crews to have real-time access to relevant regulations. EnviroManager+ tackles this challenge by offering an intuitive interface that visually displays over 500 environmentally regulated zones worldwide. This data is layered with industry regulations and Carnival Corporation’s own, often stricter, environmental policies, providing a comprehensive picture of all applicable environmental rules. The system is constantly updated via a shore-to-ship data service, ensuring crews have access to the latest information.

Beyond providing real-time regulatory data, EnviroManager+ streamlines voyage planning through automation. The software offers user-friendly digital tools for officers to plan voyages and environmental operations, including automatic route generation. It also validates the legality and environmental permissibility of planned routes, reducing risks and ensuring compliance throughout the journey. Real-time data on a vessel’s position, speed, and planned route is accessible to both onboard and shoreside personnel, enabling continuous monitoring of regulatory compliance.

This collaboration between Carnival Corporation and LR OneOcean is applauded by industry leaders. John Haeflinger, Senior VP at Carnival Corporation, highlights the importance of environmental compliance and the complexity of navigating the ever-evolving regulatory landscape. He commends EnviroManager+ as the most comprehensive solution available, offering an integrated environmental regulatory database and automated passage planning for oceangoing vessels. Haeflinger encourages other ship operators to consider the software, believing collaboration can further enhance its capabilities for the benefit of the environment.

Martin Penney, CEO of LR OneOcean, expresses his delight in partnering with Carnival Corporation on this successful implementation. He acknowledges the growing challenge of navigating the complex and rapidly changing regulatory environment in shipping. Penney commends Carnival Corporation’s commitment to environmental compliance and their dedication to providing ship and shore-based teams with the necessary tools for success.
