Oceandiva launches The Green Wave in the events world at IMEX Frankfurt

Oceandiva is charting a new course as it launches The Green Wave: “a powerful sustainability compass that demonstrates how our three ships are making events on the water even greener and more impactful,” say Edwin Petersen (CEO) and Mandy Berding (Managing Director). From fully electrically-powered vessels through to ships that run on 100% HVO100 biofuel: at Oceandiva sustainability is not just an afterthought, it determines our course.

Under The Green Wave flag, we aim to showcase and clarify our sustainable initiatives and activities. This new course has not gone unnoticed, as the recent awarding of the Green Award Platinum label and nomination for the German Sustainability Award demonstrate. This is a clear acknowledgement of our role as trailblazers in sustainable floating event locations.

Response to the IMEX People & Planet Pledge
“Every event has the power to create movement,” says Edwin Petersen, CEO of Oceandiva. “With The Green Wave, we’re making that movement visible – as we move towards a sector in which sustainability is taken for granted. IMEX marks the start of this campaign because we’re fully committed to the IMAX People & Planet Pledge.”

100% electrically powered: a game-changer
One of the undoubted highlights of this campaign is the Oceandiva Nova: our fully electrically-powered events ship with Green Award Platinum certification. This flagship offers an unparalleled combination of sustainability and exclusivity for events at the heart of major European cities.

A pledge and a movement
With The Green Wave, Oceandiva is calling on the whole sector to join forces in exploring how creativity, innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. “We aim to inspire and challenge, but above all to engage,” says Edwin Petersen. “Ultimately, the very best ideas always emerge on uncharted waters.”

Visitors are warmly invited to join us at the Holland and Düsseldorf stands (E100 and G100 at IMEX Frankfurt) for more information about The Green Wave and to talk to us about the future of sustainable events.
