Daily emissions of cruise ships same as one million cars
Discussion
Yet i have not seen any 'initiatives' to try and combat this?
my theory, if you're in a car, there's a 90% chance its for your daily life, maybe going to work, to a meeting, etc - 10% you might actually have enough time in your day to go out 'just for a drive'
but if you're on a cruise ship, its 99% just for fun and pleasure - shouldn't we look at this BEFORE taxing the road user off the streets into the equally (if not more) polluting public transport option?

Off topic but can anyone explain why buses don't use stop start technology? Or why there are still buses from 1990's polluting city centers?
Some new buses in the Midlands are hybrids with stop/start and they also have some EV buses.Still a lot of older vehicles on the roads though.

Interesting topic, to put it in perspective I'm curious how does the pollution per passenger per cruise on a typical cruise ship compare with the pollution per passenger of a plane full (or often, not full!) of people going to and returning from a long haul holiday?
I think I found that an A380 is about the same as a Leaf 75 g/km/passenger, A380 full, Leaf just driver, UK generating mix.Obviously a Leaf 5 up is brilliant...
