| CLIA Update 28 Nov 18 Did You Know?

WITH Joel Katz, MD CLIA Australasia: IT’S critical that our agent
members have factual answers to
their customers’ questions.
As an industry we have both a
moral responsibility and business
imperative to sustain the places
we sail and the communities that
support our industry.
CLIA Cruise Line Members reduce
cruise ship air emissions through
investments in new ship design and
the pioneering of new technologies
is at the core of CLIA Cruise Line
Members’ air quality efforts.
Cruise lines are innovators
in developing cutting edge
ship designs and sustainable
environmental practices, including
investing billions of dollars in
exhaust gas cleaning systems,
energy-efficient design standards
to lead to a 30% reduction in new
marine vessel CO2 emissions
by 2025; hull paints with special
non-toxic coatings that reduce fuel
consumption; and initiatives to
provide emissions-free energy.
Because of creative approaches to
improving cruise ship air reductions,
new cruise ships that enter service
today, no matter their size, are
among the most environmentally
friendly ships in the history of
commercial shipping.
