Christoph Schladoer studied Marine Mechanical Engineering in Hamburg. During a period in scientific research on an alternative scrubber technology, he achieved a PhD. After that, he worked for a shipyard designing energy supply systems and exhaust treatment solutions for offshore, heavy lift and passenger vessels. In 2015, he joined Carnival Maritime and build up a department managing large technical retrofit and upgrade projects on cruise ships. Focus areas were environmental technologies, exhaust cleaning systems, efficiency upgrades and safety improvements. Since early 2022, he is leading a newly created department at Carnival Maritime focusing on the pathway towards a climate neutral cruise fleet operation. Focus of the work is on R&D for low emission energy supply, alternative fuel strategy, energy management and data analytics, within the CMG fleet, Carnival Corporation and across the maritime industry.
