🟢 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

🔌 By 2028, 72% of the global CLIA fleet will be capable of connecting to Onshore Power Supply (OPS). ⏬ Plugging in to OPS when ships are in port allows ships’ engines to be switched off, achieving significant overall pollutant emissions reductions of up to 98%, depending on the mix of energy sources. 🛳️ #WeAreCruise

Various CLIA member lines are trialing, using, and incorporating into new-build ships the capability to run on renewable fuels.🔋 ➡️ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/emhnvpB2 🛳 #WeARECruise

📢 Collaboration for a sustainable future in maritime 🌊 Last week, the #CLIA Global Executive Committee had the privilege of meeting with Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This important dialogue reaffirmed the cruise industry's commitment to sustainable progress and strengthened our collaborative efforts with IMO. Among the key topics discussed: 🛡️ Safety and security: Passenger and crew safety, as well as addressing ongoing concerns in the Red Sea, remain critical priorities. 🌍 Revenue management: The importance of reinvesting funds collected under a GHG pricing mechanism global economic measures into maritime decarbonization efforts and aligning regional measures like the EU ETS with global IMO measures. ⚡Sustainable maritime fuels & SSE: The availability and accessibility of sustainable fuels and shore-side electricity (SSE) are essential for achieving ambitious decarbonization targets. 🚢 Commitment to innovation: Cruise lines will invest €57 billion in European shipyards between 2024 and 2036, demonstrating the sector's dedication to building a greener future. 👩✈️ Cruise workforce: Diversity, seafarer training, and welfare remain at the heart of our operations. Our people are the backbone of our industry. The cruise industry remains committed to working closely with IMO and other stakeholders to advance sustainable solutions for the maritime sector.
