Cruise & Ferry Review - Autumn/Winter 2026

165 Sustainable partnerships Two maritime companies outline how they’re supporting their cruise partners in delivering more sustainable itineraries Ayan Consulting Ayan Consulting has launched a Cruise Strategic Ambassador partnership with Barcelona-based bluetech firm Ocean Ecostructures to bring measurable marine regeneration to cruise ports and destinations. The technology transforms existing port and coastal infrastructure into thriving ecosystems, using artificial intelligence-powered monitoring and the iOceans platform to track biodiversity, biomass growth and carbon capture, turning sustainability pledges into verifiable, environmental, social and governance-ready data. For cruise lines, it offers a tangible way to improve ocean health in the destinations they serve, connecting ports, operators and guests around a shared purpose. Ayan Consulting is now inviting ports and cruise lines to join the pilot installations across the Mediterranean and beyond. Horizon Air Freight, Swift Marine and Delver Agents Horizon Air Freight, Swift Marine and Delver Agents work together to support cruise, expedition and maritime operators across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Antarctica, combining global logistics with a commitment to responsible operations. Sustainability is embedded into the group’s operations, from Horizon Air Freight’s Navigator platform, which provides real-time carbon emissions tracking and route optimisation, to Swift Marine’s recent move into a sustainable office building and Delver Agents’ initiatives in maritime recycling, Antarctic conservation awareness and local community engagement.
