All terminals have their own shredders and incinerator. Waste from the vessels are taken ashore and treated in the shredders before burned in the incinerator.
Taking care of the environment is and always will be the focus when building and operating the GFF high-speed passenger vessels. A lot of work is put into research and finding material that is both light, fire-resistant, traceable and non-allergy triggering. Green achievement is a new configuration of equipment mounted on the engines improving the combustion in the engines, saving fuel and reducing harmful exhaust with up to 95%.
GFF shredders and incinerators ashore handle garbage and waste from the vessels, reducing the waste to a minimum. Low water consumption lavatories onboard and in ports use 90% less water than traditional toilets. All GFF high-speed vessels have HEPA filters installed onboard, capturing 99.9% of particulates “flying” and thereby reducing the spreading of airborne virus and bacteria.
