time has his firm inflow on the famous son you know if you want to. be sure there are new factories in sight but that doesn't mean the end is always clean. we often have very still days that we often have 2 or 3 or 4 ships it is a very still day and the 4 ships plus all the express both of the ferries and the and the buses and the cars and the sort of this is the sum of all this is it really that the slow the air is absolutely terrible to the brain and it's the smell the smell of summer used to be you cough drops now the smell of summer is crude or or a few you can feel. the no weekend parliament decided that from 2026 onwards only completely a mission free ships would be allowed into the fields then diesel and heavy oil for ship fuel will be banned completely. resistance to the booming cruise industry is

also growing elsewhen. amsterdam is demanding more money from cruise ships protests taking place in dubrovnik and an american cruise ship captain was put on trial in pollution charges in mustang. and imv on amanda. and measuring station was set up in 2015 but not in the residential area. gemini's ministry for the environment provides no information on fine particulate matter it also claims that knowledge of particulate matter environment is within range. the situation is similar in hamburg. to the ministry for environment tries to appease health concerns by saying that according to the measuring stations by the haba the levels are within compliance range. does

that mean that the german government thinks cruise ships pose no risk to health. one of the measuring stations is located in the middle of the huge industrial port area like so afraid of takes a closer look. showed me seems every pretty far away from the water distance dilutes the years so there is less to measure but the real problem is that nobody lives here nobody walks here so if i'm trying to measure the impact of pollution is having on people's health but i can't do that from this point it's going to hit the fish to the next measuring station near the outearn a cruise terminal is tucked away behind told residential buildings accelerated he says this location isn't ideal for measuring air pollution levels either yet hamburg's department of environment states the levels again in range. that's just one problem the e.u. has set a limit for weight of particulate matter in the air many experts argue that this

form of measurement alone is not enough to determine actual health risks. launch heavy particles are usually filtered out when we were no use it's the small particles that are most harmful even just a few of the tiny particles can damage our health that is why a limit value based on weight alone doesn't provide sufficient information. sources approach to measuring particulate matter adequate ultra fine particles which are very very small have no way to see and that's why they're so problematic because they can penetrate deep into our longs and into our brain size and these are really the things that should be measured but only researchers or environmental organizations do that's unacceptable. the official limits by weight are 1000000 indication for atmospheric aerosol particles in order to determine actual health risks actual feet of a smashes the amount of particles in the air not their total weight. he's not the

only one skeptical of official measurement procedures. it makes no sense from our point of view measuring the number of particles and so it's absolutely necessary. so i think all thirty's are aware that they could achieve much more with measuring find a particular matter or even chemically determining the particles composition. you can see in the. us like they don't have the funds to implement the change and the directives haven't been updated. since it's this year so far there is no official body that regularly measures fine particular matter is free so you have to rely on measurements done by environmental associations or by people like me or i or what's in the ministry for environment in mechanical for common is the 1st one that wants to measure fine particulate matter pollution. in chalets make hush dine with

authorities do not have current data on evolution from ships and food ships in particular. the office responsible says it does not expect limits are being exceeded. nonetheless the measuring station for pollution by ships is planned for 2019 by the kenya through. trust only just money it's battling is it and a federal state surrounded by the sea as they say there are no stations recording pollution by ships and that all that gets done is what is operationally prescribed not what is actually necessary to protect people's health mentioned in g.'s i find that frightening. than most of the elbow in there with saxony where freight has and cruise ships also abound. the ministry of the environment in hanover has said the following regarding evolution ship emissions evidently playing a role in certain areas but they are not seem to be a relevant factor in achieving equality targets in lower saxony.

other places take a more modern approach. every time a ferry from the shipping company color lines from key. arrives here in austin oh it gets connected to a power socket a modernization introduced in 2011. as soon as the ship is stationary a robot secures the plant. the shipping company opted to pure it shipped this way so that the sochi diesel engine can be switched off while in harbor. the reason why we have this reverse all is that color line said that we are going to do this that shows that this is the way to do it and they also looked into the investment in it but it was also very important to them to be the 1st to show that

this is possible and in that way it's important to now give keys on hong bird. at the port of also we want to. we want to challenge and say go for it. in hamburg only one of the 3 cruise terminals has an on shore power supply line and only since 2017. the construction costs of around 10000000 euros were paid by taxpayers not the cruise ship company. an employee of the ford administration demonstrates how the device works directly because so far only one shipping company aida has used the key with on shore power and only 20 times in all of last year around 90 percent of all cruise ships do not choose the environmentally more friendly option of power well there many of them crude another problem is that some ships

are too long well the power terminal is too small recently i need only used on shore power from 8 am to 10 30 am then it was switched off because from 10 30 am onward electricity becomes more expensive. from a technical point of view it's not difficult to build more on shore power stations and other courts. have always photo the challenge we face is that the price of diesel which is crucial when electricity is being produced on board has fallen significantly since 2014. in 2014 the business case for on shore power was profitable but now it is and because of the drop in diesel prices. right now there is basically no money to be made from on shore power stations across europe and it's cheaper for shipping companies to produce electricity on board with diesel. at

the other hand they cruised him notice until power stations aren't available for the time being he said that this will change in the next few years. but in the meantime ships continue to pass on the option of using on chilled talent. since the station was finished one.
