Cruise Ship Carbon Emissions

40 facilities and activities.

Cruise ship carbon emissions. Vast quantities of fuel are required to move the immense mass of a cruise ship with commensurately huge emissions of CO2 as well as nitrogen and sulfur oxides. They have invested more than 22 billion in ships with energy-efficient technologies and cleaner fuels. Royal Caribbean who own the worlds largest cruise ship said at full power its 16-cylinder Wartsila engines will burn 1147 gallons gallons of fuel an hour - about 80000 per day.

Infographic on the evolution of greenhouse gas emissions by sector including aviation and shipping. Every passenger is responsible for 91 tonnes of emissions. According to leading independent German pollution analyst Axel Friedrich a single large cruise ship will emit over five tonnes of NOX emissions and 450kg of ultra fine particles a day.

The study from Transport Environment says that the 203 cruise ships that operated in European waters in 2017 emitted a combined total of 62 kilotons of. As for greenhouse gas emissions the International Maritime Organization estimates that carbon dioxide emissions from shipping were equal to 22 of the global human-made emissions in 2012 and expects them to rise 50 to 250 percent. In 2015 for example cruise ships emitted about 19106 kilo-tonnes of CO2-equivalent.

Since the ships engines release harmful toxins that impact human health and climate change. Paper to appear in Energy Policy in press 2010 NOTE. Also cruise lines need to reduce their carbon footprint.

Shipping currently accounts for 2-3 of global greenhouse gas emissions but a 2014 UN study warned increasing trade could up the sectors carbon footprint by as much as 250 by mid-century.
