Food: Delicious food
is an essential part of sailing trips and onboard our vessels we pay special
attention to this. Our serving sets are based on fresh, clean and domestic
produce. Quality
produce, expertise and sustainable selections are the foundations of our
catering. By using these principles our ships’ cooks have designed menu
proposals, which can also be easily tailored to meet customer needs.
Waste:
All
accumulated waste is sorted accordingly. No waste is thrown overboard. Our
vessels have sufficient sets of dishes, so there is no need to use disposable
tableware. All sewage onboard is collected into tanks and disposed into the
city sewage system for further processing. All ship's waste water is stored in tanks and is properly disposed of in Helsinki's waste water system.
Transportation:
The
vessels of Purjelaivakonttori use sails and wind as the means of propulsion as
much as possible, and the used routes are planned based on weather forecasts. If extra boost is needed, our auxiliary engines runs on renewable NEW-fuel oil. It is also easy to travel to the ships´ home port Halkolaituri by the means of
public transport, bicycle or by foot. Quite often people arrive in larger
groups, so carpooling or charter buses are also a valid option.
Water:
The
water served onboard our vessels is the cleanest in the world, Helsinki tap
water, thus we do not encourage the use of bottled water onboard.
