#cruiseship lines make lots of PR about their ships being shore power ready. But either they are choosing to not make the connections, or the power is not available, even at the relatively few docks globally where there is shore power for cruise ships. #ShorePower #Greenwashing

In October 2020, GCAN reached out by mail to the boards of directors and executives of Carnival Corp, NCLH, RCCL, MSC, Disney and executives of subsidiary cruise lines with our Principles of Responsible Cruise Tourism, inviting discussion. An MSC PR person was the sole response.

#Cruise executives, and an occasional cruise ship engineer following the company's talking points, will try to convince you not to worry about "white smoke." Its just harmless "water vapor" they'll say. But don't be fooled. cruiselawnews.com/2019/09/articl…

#COP28 #ClimateChange is about consumption of very richest people in our global society. 50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population. 90% of global emissions by 50% of the population. We need climate justice to save our planet. The rich need to step up

In passing the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 (CVSSA), Congress found that “serious incidents, including sexual assault and the disappearance of passengers at sea, have occurred on cruise vessel voyages,” and that “passengers lack adequate understanding of their

Thanks CLIA | Cruise Lines International Association for documenting that of 1,200 ports where cruise ships call, 34 (under 3%) have active shore power, 24 (2%) have work funded. Zero private cruise destinations have shore power, despite intensive visitation. Not a significant climate solution. #ClimateCrisis

Exactly. Shore power is largely a marketing suggestion that has no relevance to the pollution being emitted and harming people today in communities where cruise ships call around the world.

One example, one ship, one port call - $33,991* Cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, cancer damage delivered to your residents. Day after day. City after city. Ship upon ship. #CruiseShipsKill *Doesn't include arrival/docking/departure pollution, just at the dock.

A start. Moving the problem conveys ships are not welcome; however, the problems remain. Air pollution travels long distances, as can cruise passengers on buses (and planes into Barcelona). #ChooseNottoCruise #CruiseShipsKill #ClimateEmergency

Like prisons and nursing homes, cruise ships have a lot of people in close contact with each other for extended periods of time, making ideal conditions for both contact and airborne transmission of disease. And then spreading it onto communities.

Tell the self-described "greenest Port in North America" to cap the number of #cruise sailings for next year's season & keep reducing the number each year. bit.ly/capcruise

Well done California!

Cruise ships at dock cost residents and communities from harm to health from air pollution. Ports put $ value on that harm to justify shore power, but don't own up to the harm lacking shore power. #CruiseShipsKill
