The Ponant in Marseille

We were the first company to switch from heavy fuel to LS MGO with 0.05% sulphur content, starting in 2019. The PONANT EXPLORERS ships reduce their NOx emissions by 90% by operating their catalytic systems 24/7.

PONANT Science

"PONANT Science supports scientific research by welcoming researchers on board our ships to learn more about the ocean, the least known ecosystem on our planet."
