April 4, 2017
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has been profitable notices the results of a study commissioned from the association on the environmental impact of the field of the cruises, emphasizing that, relatively it is to the emissions in atmosphere is to drainage waters, the results of the analysis evidence that the associated crocieristiche companies to the CLIA are leader in the marine field for the development of innovative technologies for the protection of the atmosphere and are front man also in the definition of practical better policies and in order to ulteriorly fine tune the environmental performances of the shipping.
Relatively to the emissions in atmosphere, the study finds that on the total of the emissions produced from the ships to the mooring in the ports of the United States and Europe, regions that currently constitute the greatest crocieristici markets of the world, the quota the emissions of the cruise ships only turns out pairs to 3% of the total in the American ports and to 1.2% of the total in the European ports. Moreover, as James Corbett, university professor near the University of the Delaware and one of the authors of the study has confirmed, that he is realized by the Energy and Environmental Research Associates (EERA), the analysis has ascertained that the ships of the crocieristiche companies of the CLIA anticipate requisitioned consistent or advanced to those demanded from the norms for the safeguard of the atmosphere.
So also for drainage waters: the cruise ships are consistent or exceed the fixed standards from the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In particular, the prescription of obligatory character of the CLIA that they prohibit in any drawn of sea the drainage from the water cruise ships not dealt goes very to beyond the international norms that allow instead with the ships the drainage of waters not dealt if of they find at least 12 miles nautical from the coast and navigate to a determined speed.
