Cruise Lines
Outbreaks on Cruise Ships; financially devastating and costly in human suffering, returning vessels to port before completion of cruise and damaged reputation of the Cruise Lines
- According to the CDC, in 2009 alone there were 15 cruise ship outbreaks
- These outbreaks consist of gastrointestinal illnesses of public health significance
- Most illnesses are believed to be passed through direct contact
Combat outbreaks and provide your passengers with a hygienic environment using our self-cleaning photocatalytic coatings. NanoHygienix can provide an “active protection” surface status, meaning once treated; all surfaces are actively working to maintain a hygienic microbe-free status and stops infection spread in its tracks. This is a tremendous advantage over conventional “passive protection” systems where conventional cleaning chemicals are employed that have an immediate kill with no long term cleaning or disinfecting properties. Also, passive protection methodologies, i.e. conventional cleaning techniques, allow surfaces to become re-contaminated shortly after treatment and achieve little in stopping the spread infection.
Benefits for Cruise Lines
- Cost effective surface treatments to provide long term protection
- Coat every surface onboard to create a more hygienic environment throughout the ship
- Improve indoor air quality, limiting the dangers of air borne microbes
- Reduce expenditures on cleaning chemicals and labor costs
- A major step toward sustainability
