A big thank you to TNZ for their incredible support, especially in making New Zealand's presence felt at this year's Seatrade Global in Miami. Strong partnerships and the support of TNZ is vital in helping us showcase the best of what our beautiful country has to offer to the international cruising community.

🟢 The 2024 Global Cruise Industry Environmental Technologies and Practices Report shows continued progress by the cruise sector in advancing its environmental and sustainability agenda, including investments in ships and technologies for the uptake of transitional and alternative fuels: 🛳️ 19 ships are using LNG for primary propulsion — LNG has virtually zero sulfur emissions and particulate emissions, reduces NOx emissions by approximately 85% and achieves up to a 20% reduction in GHG emissions. 🍃 71 ships have Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems — SCR technology reduces particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions, thus helping ships to meet IMO Tier III classification standards for nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx). 🔌 147 ships are able to connect to Onshore Power Supply (OPS) at 35 ports worldwide that have a cruise berth with OPS. 🌊 The majority of CLIA member cruise ships sailing today utilize advanced wastewater treatment systems (AWTS) and perform better than shoreside treatment plants in some coastal cities. 🚰 The majority of CLIA members produce their own fresh water onboard their ships, with 267 ships able to do so — of which 172, nearly 60% of the fleet, are capable of producing enough water to match their total consumption. 🟢 Learn more about how cruise lines are continuing to reduce their emissions at sea and at berth in pursuit of net zero emissions by 2050 ▶ https://lnkd.in/e37skDkM 🛳 #WeARECruise
