Dawn Princess Earns San Francisco's Gold Level Cruise Ship Environmental Award
Dawn Princess' onboard programs to reduce air and water pollution while operating in San Francisco Bay have earned the ship the Port of San Francisco's prestigious Gold level Cruise Ship Environmental Award for 2005. The annual award recognizes the vessel for demonstrating "the strong commitment of Princess Cruises in the areas of Air Emission Reduction, Wastewater Treatment, and Recycling and Disposal Programs for Solid Waste."
The award was given by San Francisco's Cruise Terminal Environmental Advisory Committee (CTEAC), which works with the city's many maritime interests to address environmental issues. The advisory committee operates an incentive program to reward cruise lines that are committed to environmentally responsible operations, including the deployment of ships using reduced emission system technology or cleaner-burning fuel.
