Sulfur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) mandate the most stringent marine sulfur fuel emission standard, but even in these areas cruise ship air pollution can remain a major issue. [1] Moreover, as of 2017 there were only two SECAs in Europe, namely in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea , not in the rest of Europe's waters. [ 1 ]
Norwegian Dawn and Carnival Dream moored alongside in New Orleans (2015). Cruise ships carrying several thousand passengers and crew have been compared to “floating cities,” and the volume of wastes that they produce is comparably large, consisting of sewage; wastewater from sinks, showers, and galleys (); hazardous wastes; solid waste; oily bilge water; ballast water; and air pollution.
A cargo ship discharging ballast water into the sea. Ballast water discharges by ships can have a negative impact on the marine environment. [1] Cruise ships, large tankers, and bulk cargo carriers use a huge amount of ballast water, which is often taken on in the coastal waters in one region after ships discharge wastewater or unload cargo, and discharged at the next port of call, wherever ...
The world's largest cruise ship is set for its maiden voyage on Saturday, but environmental groups are concerned that the liquefied natural gas-powered vessel - and other giant cruise liners to ...
2024 was the worst year for gastrointestinal outbreaks on cruise ships in over a decade, thanks to a surge in norovirus, according to figures from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Sparked by a Miami Herald investigation, PortMiami is close to turning on the electricity for visiting cruise ships, reducing emissions. PortMiami is weeks from allowing cruise ships to cut ...
Environmental regulations in developed countries have reduced the individual vehicle's emission. However, this has been offset by an increase in the number of vehicles, and increased use of each vehicle (an effect known as the Jevons paradox). [3] Some pathways to reduce the carbon emissions of road vehicles have been considerably studied. [5]
On the sidelines of the U.N. climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, a group of nations said Wednesday that they would work to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2040, and no later than 2035 in ...
