"The cruise industry faces unique challenges as each line seeks to relaunch operations in this difficult new environment," said Frank E. Celli, CEO of BioHiTech. "SeaDream is now leading the way in health and safety through the use of the Altapure AP-4 disinfection system. We have worked diligently with their team to create protocols using the AP-4 for regular disinfection of guest and crew cabins as well as dining areas, health facilities and other commonly used areas. When combined with other safety protocols, the Altapure AP-4 will help SeaDream put passenger and crew safety first to create the safest possible yachting experience. We look forward to helping SeaDream and other like-minded cruise lines that are dedicated to achieving the highest possible standards of disinfection for their customers and employees."
