scrap a strip self from heavy oil as it burns companies can keep relying on cheap fuel and simply wash it with scrub us. back to the port of flu shot x.l. from today she's trying to measure whether ships here have scrubbers. but again wind conditions are unfavorable. the fish want to scrub our works well and reduce oil for dioxide emissions by about 85 to 90 percent but other issues like ultra foreign particles remain unchanged that's why toohey was bruised a bit more than the other cruise ship manufacturers because they got a little better but they're still far from good words and some of them. in january 29th teen one of the boats in full was to ease mine shift ainus. the ship is reportedly equipped with an exhaust gas purification system. according to the company it filters out 60 percent of atmospheric aerosol particles

emitted. we are asked whether this also included ultra fine particulates matter but we didn't receive an answer nor were we provided with any detailed emission values. part of the problem is the international maritime organization imo. the united nations agency has so far failed to set a limit for particulates matter emissions. this means it's up to experts like axel free to place to point out the risks it's 4 am and from shock and accelerated rate is waiting for the i need to know about the ship's technology as a willed novelty we've all seen the we want to see what the emissions of aida's new ship are alaska it's a completely new ship powered by a liquefied natural gas so we mission levels should be considerably below those of ordinary cruise ships limits and force. sure. aida nova is the 1st cruise

ship in the worlds to run with the new technology in theory it does not emits nitrogen oxides sulfa or particulate matter into the air attacks elfrida they will have to wait for another day to verify those claims the wind is keeping the exhaust gases out at sea away from the measuring instruments is the wind salaam favorable you know very. well if you're going to recall this wind the ship is also a quick to be able to run on ordinary fuel. was a pre-condition this ship can also run on diesel it has to turn exam board so it would have been good to see what i eat is using one is this far away from hamburg. finale he'll have to wait a day later informed us that it wasn't possible to measure the air quality on the ship that day they said they would invite actual freight rates on board to measure soon though but it remains to be seen when that will actually happen.

and at 1st loans i need to know if his chimney looks clean enough. other cruise companies have announced they want to follow suit. not to we however the cruise line wants to do without natural gas for the time being as there are currently only few ports that offer refueling possibilities. do passengers even care about the natural gas technology for months may not think about it it is important. to always like think this is the 1st ship with liquid natural gas let's see how things develop but i think it's good i do freak out so it certainly affected my decision i wanted to be on this ship. as it's quieter. friendly yeah that too is protecting the environment a factor in your decision no no. for being honest not really well with

a i've heard about it. but it wasn't the deciding factor for us. one problem is that madeira doesn't yet have a fueling point for liquid natural gas that is large enough for the i need a nova. so tankers like the condescend have to travel over 1500 nautical miles from rotterdam to the high atlantic seas to refuel the new aida ship it's a long and expensive journey. and the leadership is being serviced in hamburg according to company figures as the aida fleets consumed over 50 percent will heavy oil and diesel in 2017 compared to 2011 the cruise line says more and more of its ships are being a quipped with quote modern exhaust gas purification systems but it remains unclear which systems these entailed exactly and whether they also filter out harmful ultra

fine particles. it seems northern germany still enjoys the passionate us of it's not free cruise line is. hardly anyone protests. hamburg is even planning a 4th cruise terminal it will be the 2nd one in the half and city district right by a residential area. meanwhile in other european cities more and more citizens and politicians feel that the cruise line industry has got big enough. the city of venice is a unesco world heritage site and a popular cruise destination in europe. cruise line is passed straight by the city's top attractions. but they don't only block the view from locals they also pollute the air. and yet more than

450 of the ships still arrive here every year bringing around 1500000 tourists. the undertow created by large cruise liners alone is a risk for the old city which was built on wooden poles. a unesco study presented to the italian government cited these waves caused by water traffic as one of the major threats to the city. axle fleet base was in venice in 2014 he used a handheld device to measure atmospheric aerosol particles. measured over 100000 particles per cubic centimeter of air once it was even over 200000 that's extremely high and they are yours already polluted you from. many venetians have had enough they formed a committee called no kindy navi which means no big ships together with one of its

members axel straitlaced trying to measure the air quality right in the wake of one of the cruise line as. yet but the cabin yabby the state police stopped best small boat after taking down the names and addresses the offices for bait any further measuring attempts i. but it seems the protests in venice have had an effect the number of cruise ships has started to decrease and as of 2021 only smaller cruise ships will be allowed to enter the famous judaica canal. venice isn't the only place where the cruise boom has faced backlash another one is no way. the country is one of the top destinations for cruises from germany. the guy hunger fuel watch another unesco world heritage site is especially popular. if you were to tracks

many crews tourists. it's picture perfect. but the high mountains surrounding the narrow fjords mean exhaust fumes cannot disperse. during the shooting for this film comeback lloyd and i need to wait in the fuel and . but the problem of concentrated pollution because with all crews operate is. the guy running the field isn't the only case like this organic farm and as fed time has his firm in fly on the famous sun you know if you want to. show that there are new factories inside but that doesn't mean the end is always clean. we often have very still guys that we often

have 2 or 3 or 4 ships and is a very still day and the 4 ships plus all the express boats in the ferries and the keys and the buses and the cars and this sort of just it's a solid job is it really that to see.
