Internet users are discovering why most cruise ships are painted white.
Here are the four main reasons why companies choose to paint their cruise ships white.
Commercial Purposes
The color is used on ships to give passengers a sense of tranquility, peace, and organization when boarding the ship.
In addition to symbolism, white is also an easy way for companies to display their business name and logo.
Sustainability
The white color on cruise ships also helps the vessel use less energy, as it reflects most of the sun’s heat waves on the open sea, keeping passengers cooler without overusing air conditioning.
This way, the energy consumption to maintain the ship’s cooling is lower compared to using any other color for the paint.
Recognition
A white vessel is easier to spot on the vast ocean, whether during the day or night. The color easily reflects sunlight, making the ship more visible and preventing potential collisions at sea.
Damage Camouflage
In the event of structural damage, the white color covers stains and holes more easily during touch-ups on the paint.
