Cross Sound Ferry Policies and Procedures for COVID-19 Safety

Phenomenal Aire™ Cold Plasma Generators (CPG) Installed on Vessels

Cross Sound Ferry would like to let its customers know it has installed new Phenomenal AireTM and Active Dust Free® air purification systems aboard its fleet of vessels as additional preventative measures it is taking to ensure customer and employee health and safety.

Phenomenal AireTM Cold Plasma Generators(CPG) and Active Dust Free® air purifiers have been installed into the air handlers of all passenger spaces aboard the company’s fleet of vessels currently operating between New London, CT and Orient Point, Long Island, NY and in both ticket office locations.

Phenomenal AireTM produces an electric field filled with highly charged ions. The ions act as a natural scrubbing agent for the air passing through the field. The scrubbing process (bipolar ionization) safely disables viruses and other harmful microorganisms. On its website, Phenomenal AireTM states its system’s bipolar ionization technology disables the Human Coronavirus (229E) and that similar results are anticipated for COVID-19.

The Active Air Purifiers utilize ionic oxidation, negative ionization and UV-C light to purify the air. They remove viruses, bacteria and germs from the air.

Other measures and procedures are described below.
