Waste treatment systems for modern cruise operation.
Maintaining compliance with environmental regulations while managing large onboard waste volumes is a growing operational challenge for cruise operators and shipyards.
Hamworthy has a proven track record in developing wastewater, wet waste, and dry waste technologies designed to support modern environmental standards and reliable onboard operation.
Our integrated waste treatment systems combine wastewater treatment, recycling equipment, sludge drying, and incineration into one coordinated onboard solution designed specifically for cruise vessel environments.

A complete onboard waste management solution.
As demand grows for fully integrated onboard waste handling systems, Hamworthy delivers complete waste treatment solutions where wastewater, wet waste, and dry waste systems operate together as one coordinated package.
Integrated onboard waste handling improves recycling opportunities, simplifies waste processing, and reduces the amount of waste requiring onboard storage. Materials such as metal and glass can be separated and prepared for recycling ashore, while wastewater and bio-waste are processed through integrated treatment and waste handling systems.
Dry waste and sludge can be processed and reduced onboard through drying and incineration systems designed to minimise waste volume and support cleaner vessel operation.
Reducing onboard waste storage requirements also creates valuable operational and commercial benefits. By processing waste more efficiently onboard, vessels can reduce storage footprint, simplify handling processes, and optimise space usage across the ship.
Integrated waste handling also supports lower environmental impact through more efficient collection, recycling, drying, and low-emission incineration processes.
Built for growing environmental expectations.
Cruise operators face growing environmental expectations, operational complexity, and increasing pressure to manage onboard waste more efficiently.
Hamworthy supports the cruise market with integrated waste treatment systems designed to simplify compliance, reduce operational burden, and support cleaner onboard operation across the vessel lifecycle.
As part of a wider global marine engineering network, Hamworthy also provides worldwide technical support, spare parts, and long-term operational service for onboard waste systems.
Integrated waste handling systems also help reduce technical and commercial risk by providing one coordinated solution across wastewater, wet waste, and dry waste treatment.
