Axima Marine & Noske Kaeser
Achieve carbon neutrality by 2050
With more than 31.7 million passengers in 2023—a 7% increase over pre-COVID levels—the cruise industry is booming. Long criticized for its environmental impact, the cruise industry is undergoing a major transformation. Companies are investing heavily in new technologies to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. They are implementing concrete, greener solutions, such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion, the use of sustainable materials, waste management, and the modernization of HVAC systems to improve the ships’ energy efficiency. In fact, HVAC equipment and refrigeration systems are the leading source of energy consumption at port and the second-largest at sea after propulsion. Axima Marine & Noske-Kaeser design, build, and maintain HVAC and refrigeration that play a key role in decarbonization.
