Cruise ships do not serve any other purpose than entertaining passengers, which makes the environmental aspects extremely critical for the cruise ship industry. IMO’s target to reach zero greenhouse gas emission within this century will affect cruise ships significantly. In addition to traditional heavy fuel oil, and the recent favorite LNG, new fuels such as biodiesels and methanol are becoming alternatives. This is not happening voluntarily, but due to new regulations, especially EEDI (energy efficiency design index), EEXI (energy efficiency design index for existing ships) and CII (carbon intensity indicator). What all this means to cruise ships is described in this chapter. Even if CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions are the most discussed today, other pollutants, such as wastewaters, garbage, oil, ballast water and noise are discussed as well.
