Going Green – Green Literally Ship Around The World

For immediate release

Going green took on new meaning for Jörg Breuning of Green Roof Service LLC in Bel Air, MD -when he agreed to install and test a living green roof --- with real and natural grass --- on athousand-foot, 122,000 ton, $750 million cruise ship, capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean inwinter while guests played croquet and picnicked on its top deck.

Celebrity Solstice: The first “LawnClub” arriving in Fort Lauderdale, FL in September 2008.

Since the “LawnClub” with real natural grass on Celebrity Solstice exceeded everybody’sexpectations a second cruise ship was finished and delivered in June 2009 – Celebrity Equinox.“Our client received an amazing feedback from more than 60,000 guests and visitors of the LawnClub” stated Jorg to a German landscape magazine, “and we are going to green 3 more cruise shipsof Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruises in the next 3 years. Each green roof will have real and naturalgrass anchored in an engineered mineral soil layer. When all ships are finally cruising nearly500,000 guests will visit the green roofs every year – more than any other green roof in the world. 

Breuning, spent a lot of time on the 5-star cruise ships CelebritySolstice and Celebrity Equinox to demonstrate that proven and

smart green technology –especially modern green roof technology– can be implemented on all projects whether they are on land oron sea and regardless the climate zone.It isn’t only the grass what makes the Celebrity Solstice Classships “green”. The entire technology of the ship is focused onenvironmental friendly, state-of-the-art solutions. These shipsconsume 20% less energy to comparing ships and reduce carbonfoot print with solar energy, modern common rail dieseltechnology and only LED, florescent or halogen lightning.
