Eco & Technology

9 questions

What makes Green Ruby an eco-friendly cruise?

Green Ruby is built around verifiable sustainability rather than slogans: solar power, a seawater cooling system designed to cut energy use significantly, advanced wastewater treatment, and plastic-free operations - combined with quieter, lower-impact routes through Lan Ha Bay.

Is Green Ruby Green Globe certified?

We have begun the path toward Green Globe certification - the independently audited, GSTC-accredited, EU-recognized standard. The on-site audit takes place once the vessel is operational, and we'll share our certification status transparently as it progresses.

How does the ship reduce energy use and emissions?

A rooftop solar array supplies an estimated ~25% of onboard power during daylight hours, working alongside our generators to reduce fuel use, while a seawater cooling system is designed to lower cooling energy. We'll publish verified figures once the vessel is in service.

How do you handle wastewater, waste, and single-use plastics?

All onboard wastewater passes through advanced biological treatment before discharge. We're also eliminating single-use plastics across the vessel - refillable glass bottles, bulk amenities, and plastic-free supplier packaging - so nothing from your stay ends up in the bay.

Can guests take part in conservation activities?

Green Ruby is committed to sustainable tourism and environmental protection. Conservation and community engagement activities may be offered periodically as part of our sustainability initiatives.
