hairpin Posted August 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hello. I've had a recent bad experience with air pollution on a cruise ship and I think environmental impact - rating of some sort to add to the cruise ship summaries would be helpful. I don't know where to suggest it, but I'd like to find a source of good info for this instead of just finding articles giving generalizations on which cruise lines are better - without explicitly stating details. I found this article regarding shipping and pollution - with recommended steps for reducing pollution impact. https://www.transportenvironment.org/what-we-do/shipping-and-environment/shipping’s-impact-air-quality But again I'd like to see a category included in the individual reviews of ships.

ew101 Posted November 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Several lines such as Disney and Viking are rolling out new LNG ships. Lines can do more - such as rotor sails which seem to save ~12% on propulsion loads. We as customers need to be more noisy on this point. https://www.dnvgl.com/expert-story/maritime-impact/ECO-FLETTNER-rotor-sail-stands-the-test.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
