Environmental drivers Cruise Ships Emissions Environmental drivers The International Maritime Organization (IMO), as the main regulatory body for shipping, has in recent years devoted significant time and effort to the issue of regulating shipping energy efficiency in order to control marine greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The IMO has developed a number of technical measures that include: • the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) • limits allowable CO2 emissions per ton or passenger mileage • the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) • the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) • IMO: revised MARPOL Annex VI • Global sulphur limit of 3,5% from 1.1.2012 and 0,5% from 1.1.2020 • Sulphur Emission Control Areas: from 1,5% 2006 to 0,1% 2015 • NOx limits Tier III in emission control areas (1.1.2016) and outside Tier II (1.1.2011) • Includes also regulations for ozone-depleting substances, volatile organic compounds, shipboard incineration, fuel oil availability and quality European Union (EU) • 20 % cut to overall CO2 emissions from year 1990 levels to year 2020 • Applies to all CO2 producing activities (international traffic excluded in Kyoto Protocol ) • 0,1% sulphur content limit for EU ports 1.1.2010 Regional regulations • Emission control areas • Port dues depending on amount of emissions, etc. Fuel Price SOx - Fuel Oils (emission) Sulphur Content Limits for ALL SHIPS 5 GLOBAL limit 4,5 19.5.2006 4 or 2025 based on review by 2018 3,5 1.1.2012 3 % - r u h 2,5 p l u ECAs S California 2 EU: 11.8.07 MGO MARPOL: 22.11.07 30.6.2009 MARPOL: 19.5.2006 1,5 EU: 11.8.2006 1 1.7.2010 California MDO 0,5 1.1.2020 30.6.2009 Greek 1.1.2015 ports EU Ports and Inlad 0.1 %: 1.1.2010 0.1 0 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 2022 2024 NOx Limits for NEW Marine Engines > 130 kW Engine technologies SCR, LNG, other fuels 20 IMO Tier I <300 rpm 18 1.1.2000... 500 rpm 17 16 IMO Tier II 1.1.2011... >1200 rpm 14 14,4 13,0 outside ECAs ] 12 h W k 10,5 / 9,8 g 10 [ x O 7,7 N 8 -0,2 6 Tier I: 45 × n in ECAs -0,23 Tier II: 44 × n IMO Tier III -0,2 4 Tier III: 9 × n 1.1.2016... 3,4 review for tier III 2012-2013 2,6 2 2,0 0 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 2022 2024 • • • • • EEDI - EnergyIndexforNewShips EfficiencyDesign vessels built 1999– 2009. the dataof71moderncruise calculatedfrom presented hereare curves limiting Preliminary criteria design isvoluntary EEDI moment For the “benefit forthesociety” the to inrelation of CO2 production the EEDI valuereprecents carriers andpassengerships ro-ro ships, container and cargo tankers, bulkcarriers, general oil gas Coverage infirstphase: and Committee Environment Protection IMOdevelopment by Marine under iscurrently EEDI 10 May 2011 | Page 15 Page | 2011 10 May EEDI 10 15 20 25 0 5 0 Europa 50 000 Elation Fantasy 100 000 100 Gross Tonnage Gross Costa Atlantica 150 000 Voyager of the Seas Freedom of the Seas FinlandShips:STX Cruise Limit-25% EEDI Curve Limit-12.5%EEDI Curve Limit EEDI Curve 200 000 200 Oasis of the Seas 250 000 Cruise Ship Energy Flow Energiankuluttajat Stem Boilers Steam Steam Heating, Air Conditioning Waste Heat Trans.

Through a comparative case study, cruise line crises will be examined through the lens of Discourse of Renewal and compared to hotel crises to determine how the both tourism organizations are responding and engaging with stakeholders during these crises. Furthermore, insight and implications of current crisis response efforts and guidelines on how cruise lines should transition to best practices are offered.

  • Canaveral to Homeport Freedom-Class Ship Royal Caribbean International’S Vessels Largest Afloat
    For Immediate Release Rosalind Postell Harvey Director of Communications 321-783-7831 ext. 242 or toll free 1-888-767-8226 321-403-7245 (cellular) [email protected] Canaveral to Homeport Freedom-class Ship Royal Caribbean International’s vessels largest afloat PORT CANAVERAL, FL— March 19, 2008 – An agreement between the Canaveral Port Authority and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is expected to be finalized in the next few months to homeport Freedom of the Seas at Port Canaveral. Royal Caribbean today submitted a letter of intent to deploy the 160,000 gross- registered-ton vessel to Canaveral in May 2009. “The Freedom of the Seas will be the largest cruise vessel homeported here,” says Port Canaveral CEO Stan Payne. “And the agreement represents the longest commitment of Royal Caribbean to Port Canaveral.” “Bringing a Freedom-class ship to Port Canaveral will give vacationers another homeport choice to experience the most innovative cruise ship at sea,” said Adam Goldstein, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International. “Based on the popularity of Mariner of the Seas at Port Canaveral, we look forward to and anticipate similar success for Freedom of the Seas.” The 3,634 guest capacity, double-occupancy, Freedom-class ships revolutionized the cruise industry when Freedom of the Seas first was launched in 2006. With Liberty of the Seas, launched in 2007, and the soon- to-be launched Independence of the Seas, Royal Caribbean’s Freedom-class ships feature exclusive onboard amenities, such as the FlowRider surf simulator, the H2O Zone water park, a boxing ring for Power-Box conditioning classes, an ice-skating rink, 10-route rock-climbing wall, a full-size basketball court, and the Royal Promenade, a boulevard of restaurants, bars, lounge and shops that runs nearly the length of the ship.

  • The Problem of Propeller Design for High Ice Class Transportation Ships А.V
    Fifth International Symposium on Marine Propulsors smp’17, Espoo, Finland, June 2017 The problem of propeller design for high ice class transportation ships А.V. Pustoshny, G.K. Darchiev, I.G. Frolova. Krylov State Research Centre, St. Petersburg, Russia ABSTRACT Some of these problems were expected to be solved by Development of large-capacity merchant vessels of so-called DAS (double acting ship) concept invented in high ice classes for Arctic has raised a range of Finland. According to this concept the vessels challenges for propeller designers. Usual propeller equipped with electric podded propulsors should sail design approaches are often not applicable for high ice- bow-first in open water and stern-first in ice. However, class merchant vessels. from the Russian experience with 3 series of heavy- tonnage merchant DAS of different types it is seen that In particular, the requirements regarding vibration the concept evolves not exactly as it was initially levels related to propeller cavitation, which are envisaged by its inventors. In deviation from the traditionally specified for merchant ships, cannot be original declarations of inventors high ice class DAS directly implemented in case of propellers designed for are built without bow bulb to enable both bow- and operation in ice because general measures to reduce stern-first operation in ice, the vessels require cavitation like skew or tip unloading prove to be either additional strengthening of stern (according to not feasible or limited by the requirement to ensure presently discussed Lloyd’s opinion stern and safe propeller operation in ice conditions. The propulsor should be one ice class higher) and special measures against cavitation are also restricted by maneuvering tactics in ice.

  • Fuel and Economic Efficiency of an Ice-Going Vessel on the Northern Sea Route
    Janne Esa Fuel and economic efficiency of an ice-going vessel on the Northern Sea Route School of Engineering Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo 25.5.2015 Thesis supervisor: Professor Pentti Kujala Thesis advisor: Lauri Kuuliala, M.Sc. (Tech.) aalto university abstract of the school of engineering master’s thesis Author: Janne Esa Title: Fuel and economic efficiency of an ice-going vessel on the Northern Sea Route Date: 25.5.2015 Language: English Number of pages: 9+90 Department of Applied Mechanics Major: Marine Technology Code: K3005 Supervisor: Professor Pentti Kujala Advisor: Lauri Kuuliala, M.Sc. (Tech.) In this thesis fuel and economic efficiency of an ice-going vessel were studied. The study was carried out for a double acting ship (DAS) and an ice-bow vessel operating year-around on the Northern Sea Route (NSR). For comparison these efficiencies were investigated for an open water vessel operating on the Suez Canal route (SCR) and a vessel using the NSR during operable months, i.e., from July until December and rest of the year using the SCR. These are the months permitted by current NSR regulations. The fuel consumption of the vessel was studied with the transit-simulation. For DAS and the ice-bow ship first the speed was solved in different ice conditions. For open water and assisted ships the power demand was calculated. DAS and ice-bow ship were assumed to use full power in ice and the speeds in open water and ice channel were assumed to be constant.
