Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH) (the ”Company”), a
leading global cruise company which operates Norwegian Cruise Line,
Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, announced today that
its brand new state-of-the-art Norwegian Cruise Line flagship
terminal at PortMiami received an honorary recognition as the first
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold New
Construction v4.0 cruise ship terminal in Florida, the United
States and the world.
“We are proud to be recognized as a leader in
sustainable construction with the LEED Gold Certification of our
incredible new PortMiami terminal B, the Pearl of Miami, the first
cruise terminal in the world to receive this certification under
the new, more stringent LEED construction standards,” said Frank
Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise
Line Holdings Ltd. “This certification is a great reflection of how
we are driving a positive impact on the environment and society
through our global sustainability program, Sail & Sustain,
while delivering on our vision to be the vacation of choice for
everyone around the world. We will continue to invest, design and
develop towards this commitment including further investment at the
PortMiami terminal where we are partnering with Miami-Dade County
to add shore power capabilities by Fall 2023.”
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council,
LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the
world, and LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of
sustainability achievement. LEED for Building Design and
Construction, specifically New Construction, provides a framework
for building a holistic green building while addressing both design
and construction activities. The state-of-the-art terminal often
dubbed as the “Pearl of Miami” welcomed guests for the first time
in August 2021 upon the Company’s return to service in the U.S.
with Norwegian Gem. The 188,000 square foot terminal, which can
accommodate cruise vessels carrying up to 5,000 cruise guests, was
designed with innovation and sustainability at the forefront. The
team created a platform that optimizes the terminal’s energy
performance, indoor air quality, water efficiencies, utilization of
local materials and resources and much more. With high levels of
energy performance in mind, the project was designed to perform at
least 38% better than the average building. In addition to
significant water quality permits and protections, the terminal
includes manatee protections and pollution discharge protections,
and plans to have shore power capabilities by the Fall of 2023.
“We are honored to have partnered with PortMiami
and Miami-Dade County to construct an iconic terminal to LEED Gold
Standards,” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive
officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “The terminal was designed and
built in partnership with our local South Florida community.
Approximately 90% of all subcontractors, vendors and suppliers were
local to the region, encouraging local economic growth.”
