Carnival Corporation EVP Joins Champions 12.3 to Reduce Food Loss

• April 3, 2024

In recognition of the company’s food waste management leadership, Carnival Corporation’s executive vice president of strategic operations, Jan Swartz, joined Champions 12.3, the international coalition of leaders focused on accelerating progress towards achieving Target 12.3 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals on food loss and waste, according to a press release.

Swartz’s invitation to join the coalition comes shortly after the company announced it has achieved a 38 percent reduction in food waste per passenger compared to its 2019 baseline. Swartz is the organization’s first member from the cruise industry. 

“It’s an honor to be selected to work alongside other like-minded leaders committed to steering the world toward a more sustainable future,” said Swartz. “As industry leaders in reducing food loss and waste across our operation, Carnival Corporation realizes that collaboration leads to great solutions. I’m eager to work with leaders across several sectors to find ways to leverage each other’s learnings and expertise.”

“We are pleased that Jan will be joining the Champions 12.3 coalition. The cruise industry is an important part of the travel and hospitality sector, and as such, it has a vital role to play in helping reduce food loss and waste globally,” said Dr. Liz Goodwin OBE, member of Champions 12.3. “Jan brings a unique insight into the daily challenges of tackling food loss and waste in a globally dispersed organization operating 24/7, 365 days a year and serving millions of guests each year. She is ideally placed to represent the efforts on food waste reduction across Carnival Corporation’s nine brands and share best practices across the industry.”

A collaborative future for Anglo-Eastern and CMI

Sanjay Sukhrani and Dietmar Wertanzl discuss Anglo-Eastern’s acquisition of CMI and CMI Leisure

Amber Hickman asks Sanjay Sukhrani and Dietmar Wertanzl how Anglo-Eastern’s acquisition of CMI and CMI Leisure will benefit customers in the expedition cruise sector 

By Amber Hickman | 04 May 2023

Ship management services provider Anglo-Eastern ventured into the passenger cruise industry in December 2022 when it acquired Cruise Management International and its sister company CMI Leisure Management (collectively known as CMI).  

Anglo-Eastern has since combined its reach and resources with CMI’s expertise in providing management services to shipowners in niche cruise markets, to help deliver better services to clients. Both companies will operate under their new names, Anglo-Eastern Cruise Management and Anglo-Eastern Leisure Management.  

“Anglo-Eastern is actively involved in all major sectors across merchanct shipping and has built a reputation for helping its clients achieve effective cost management, compliance and safety,” says Sanjay Sukhrani, president and CEO of Anglo-Eastern Cruise Management. “Its scale and scope can provide the cruise industry with a very efficient service.” 

Dietmar Wertanzl, president and CEO of Anglo-Eastern Leisure Management, agrees: “Joining forces is a win-win,” he says. “Now we are under the umbrella of Anglo-Eastern, we can tie into different resources and receive support on a global scale.”  

The cruise industry has seen significant growth and change since the Covid-19 pandemic, and both Wertanzl and Sukhrani believe that Anglo-Eastern can help scale accordingly. 

“The costs associated with running a ship are staggering and we have the opportunity to leverage Anglo-Eastern’s resources, especially when it comes to procuring the best employees,” says Sukhrani, who believes an employee-driven focus is key. “You must have a career plan for every employee, a pipeline from the engine room to the boardroom.” 

This is where Anglo-Eastern can help. It currently has two of the largest maritime training centres in the world and intends to create another focused on the leisure cruise industry, which will train employees in guest service at sea.  

Sukhrani was a customer of Anglo-Eastern for 18 years prior to joining and so has seen how the firm’s employee-driven focus helps it to deliver reliable and attentive services to clients.  

“I have seen first-hand how Anglo-Eastern treats people,” he says. “We have employees who’ve been here 30-40 years and that’s because we have the right culture. Advertising, Facebook and LinkedIn are all great for promoting your brand, but your best ambassador is a current employee, or a past employee who says, ‘the best time of my life was at Anglo-Eastern’.”  

With a stronger workforce and more resources, Anglo-Eastern can now help cruise lines adjust to changing trends and new customer expectations. 

“In the ocean safari (expedition cruise) sector, the ship is like a base camp,” says Wertanzl. “When we first started, we had rushed social activities and the bathrooms were in the corridors, but guests were still happy because it was destination-driven. 

“Over the past 10 years, the quality of expeditions has been rising as newbuilds have entered the industry with nicer cabins, bigger bathrooms and more restaurants. Guest expectations are now higher too.” 

Luxury hotel brands are now branching into the cruise industry and Wertanzl believes that Anglo-Eastern Leisure Management now has the capacity to help them make a smooth transition. 

“It’s very nice to get new challenges and explore new concepts,” he says. “With one client we are working on a sushi bar, we also have themed teas and a new steakhouse. We would be a great platform for anybody who would like our expertise in migrating a land-based hotel experience to the sea.” 

Anglo-Eastern Cruise Management is also exploring how it can use technology to help its customers get more from available data, increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. 

“Everything is about data now, how you collect it, analyse it and use it,” says Sukhrani. “Most businesses use data to analyse past performance, but that is looking at things through a rear-view mirror. When you drive a car, you look forward through the windscreen, and that’s the approach Anglo-Eastern is taking. We are using real-time information to make future decisions. 

“The customer of tomorrow is genuinely concerned about the planet. So, we have designs for ships fuelled by ammonia or natural gas, and there are proof-of-concept designs for using hydrogen as a fuel. The company is investing a lot in these technologies that makes sense for our customers and stakeholders.”

Maybe???? 😀

If the ingredients are at the bar, and the bartender knows how to make the drink, you will be able to get it.

If the bartender doesn't know how to make the drink, but you can provide directions, then you can have it made, too. Again, so long as the ingredients are there, the bartender will make anything you want.

Thanks- appreciate the reply but wondering if someone has specific info as to whether they do have the ingredients ...

... wondering if someone has specific info as to whether they do have the ingredients ...

In that case, it might be helpful if you itemized the ingredients. People might not recognize that particular drink, but know about the things that are in it.

Vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. It is likely that the ship would substitute ginger ale for the ginger beer.

They also will not have the copper cup which is a must for a Moscow Mule IMHO.

DeeniEncinitas

Hi Taxmantoo!

Your absolutely right! Unfortunately on our cruise to the Med on The Nieuw Amsterdam last September they tried in the Ocean Bar with subsitute ginger ale, no

Copper cup! 😞 Did not taste at all like one!

Hope they have ginger beer for you! My DH said I should bring a copper cup next time LOL!

bluesplayer

You can bring your own ginger beer and copper cup.. tada . Moscow Mules

bluesplayer I am so down with that!!

Doing that this February for sure on our month cruise on The Maasdam.

Actually Ginger Beer has alcohol so per HAL policy it cannot be brought on board. There would be no problem with the copper cup

Your right called HAL. I also figured that.

I got copper mule cups from Wm. Sonoma

A few years go, we do our own mules when we have a party. I'll pass on HAL.

Moscow Mule Recipe

• Pour vodka and lime juice into a mug; add ice cubes and ginger beer. Stir to combine.
• Substitute ginger ale if there is no ginger beer available.
• Drop a lime wedge into the mug for garnish.

This drink was concocted by the Smirnoff (America) company to entice more people to drink more of their vodka.

People in Russia have never heard of it.

Ideally served in a chilled copper mug - but it will taste exactly the same if served in any other container.

This is basically a vodka daiquiri with a splash of ginger. Just about any bartender on planet earth can make it for you.

I've purchased loads of ginger "beer" over the years, and it has not been alcoholic.

Murray's Pop

Agree. Goslings is my favorite. Dark and Stormy with Goslings dark rum.

I purchased several bottles of ginger beer in Bermuda in May. Was not alcoholic and had zero problem bringing it back on Veendam.

Today's brewed ginger beers are categorized as non-alcoholic drinks because their alcohol content is less than 0.5 percent , which meets FDA requirements. Since ginger beers are naturally fermented, they have less carbonation and often develop a beer-like head when poured into a glass. Bring the FDA classification as non alcoholic
