CRUISES SECTOR
No plastic, less weight, less space - the perfect solution at sea.
The operational problem
Bulky chemicals compete for space that ships don't have.
Liquids are mostly water — and at sea, water is the one thing you don't need to carry. Drums and bottles consume stores space, add weight, slow down provisioning at turnaround, and create handling work on every deck they travel through.
How Leaf simplifies the work
- →Compact sheets cut the stores footprint of cleaning and laundry chemicals.
- →Lighter provisioning speeds up loading at turnaround.
- →Pre-measured dosing holds one standard across a large, international crew.
- →Less packaging on board means less waste to manage at sea.
Evidence a buyer would need
- ·Performance vs current marine-supply products
- ·Stores footprint and weight saving
- ·Cost per wash comparison at fleet scale
- ·Compliance & safety data
Sector case study
See how a cruise operation compacted its cleaning supply with Leaf.
The case study covers the stores baseline, how the switch was provisioned across sailings, and the measured results — with source and basis for every figure.
Frequently asked questions
Why use detergent sheets on cruise ships?+
Because ships pay for space and weight twice — once to bunker it, once to carry it. Leaf sheets remove the water from cleaning products, so the same number of washes and cleans travels in a fraction of the volume and weight.
Can pre-measured dosing work with a multinational crew?+
Yes — it's one of the format's strengths. The dose is built into the sheet, so there's nothing to translate, measure or dilute. Results are consistent regardless of language or experience.
Do compact formats reduce onboard waste?+
Yes. Less packaging comes aboard, so less waste has to be stored, sorted and offloaded — a practical benefit anywhere waste handling is constrained.
