As it cruises the Gulf of Alaska each summer, the Coral

Princess spends only limited time in zones where bilge water can be discharged. For complete certainty, the ship uses

EcoStream from Alfa Laval.

EcoStream is a high-speed centrifugal separation system for bilge water treatment. Without chemicals or absorption fi lters, it generally reduces oil content to less than 5 ppm – even when emulsions are present. “My choice of Alfa Laval is clear,” says Paul Barrett, Fleet

Technical Superintendent for Princess Cruises. “In my opinion,

EcoStream is the most effective way of reaching 15 ppm.”

With EcoStream aboard the Coral Princess, the ship’s compliance with IMO regulations is certain. And so is the protection of Alaska’s sensitive waters.
