Environment and oceans

We participate and promote projects that involve testing new technologies to reduce our impact on the environment. Thus, currently, we are carrying out, a worldwide pioneer, test, with a thermal High Definition camera, which can improve the detection of cetaceans.

With the University of La Laguna, we have reviewed, during 2019, our ecological routes reducing our miles of navigation through the Special Conservation Areas,  between Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma, with the aim to preserve the welfare of the marine fauna.

As part of our project for the protection of cetaceans, we conduct training sessions, at our company, about the global problem of collisions with cetaceans, as well as mechanisms for detecting and preventing accidents with these animals.

We collaborate with the Canarian Botanical Garden “Viera y Clavijo” in the dissemination of relevant contents about the endemic flora of the Canary Islands, with the aim that our travelers and visitors can recognize, enjoy and take care of their uniqueness.

Fred. Olsen Tenerife Bluetrail, the Volunteers of the Environment area of the inter-island council of Tenerife, among other organisations, collaborate in 'Together for Our Ocean' to carry out land and underwater cleaning, and raise awareness about the reducing, recycling and reusing our waste.

In collaboration with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and other entities, we participate in the International Volunteer Ship Network to support the observation project CanBio which studies climate change in the sea, ocean acidification and its effects on the marine biodiversity of the Canary Islands.            

We collaborate with CetAvist; the Cetacean and Seabird Sightings Network in Canary Islands which is made up of volunteers who collect scientific data on the species habitat and evaluate the influences of climate change in our waters.

We collaborate with the campaign for protection of the natural environment 'Pasa sin Huella' organized by the Foundation Telesforo Bravo J. Coello, by disseminating its message of good environmental practices.

We are actively participating in a project for the provision of connection points in ports for the electrical supply of vessels during berths in order to reduce noise and environmental pollution in port areas.
