Congrats, Seattle! How about you, NYC? We have ZERO operational shore power berths at our cruise terminals WHY? @NYCEDC & Mayoral abject failure & neglect for human health & climate, while prioritizing the interests of the crui$e industry over residents www.portseattle.org/news/shore-p...

@nabu.de together with a group of 14 NGOs called OSPAR members to ban scrubber washwater discharge in 12-NM-zone. "(...) the use of heavy fuel oil bears the risks of disastrous oil spills and raises the emissions of climate killer Black Carbon." @cleanarctic.bsky.social @cleanshipping.bsky.social

A reminder that Port Miami now has shore power with the ability "to connect 21 individual vessels .. for a total of 350 vessel calls" per year. Brooklyn's yet-to-be-upgraded system can only connect to 20% of ship visits www.msn.com/en-us/trave...

Cruise ships are ballooning in size at an unsustainable rate, while paying no fuel duty. These mega-polluters should be using their huge profits to invest in the green technologies needed to address their massive climate impact. Read our latest report ➡️ https://bit.ly/4ftXFZ6

It’s been 20 years since the City said it was building a “luxury” cruise terminal in #RedHook, Brooklyn. What a sad couple of decades it’s been, with cruise ships spewing deadly diesel emissions into our air (& water), and NYCEDC unable to build a working shore power system.
