Did you know 60% of cruise passengers return to their favourite visited destinations for a land-based holiday? Even we didn't know that! The New Zealand Cruise Association (NZCA) has compiled a list of commonly-held misconceptions around cruising - and factual responses. It's interesting reading, regardless of your viewpoint when it comes to cruise. Here's another gem: Cruise lines are bad environmental actors? Actually... that's not true. The cruise industry leads the charge when it comes to developing technologies that protect the environment. Today's cruise vessels are among the cleanest and most efficient ships travelling the world's oceans. And another: Cruise lines bring unwanted pests? Ah, no. Just like aeroplanes, ships are subject to strict biosecurity checks upon arrival at our border, including no foodstuffs leaving the vessel. As for their hulls, vessels visit dry docks before entering Australasian waters or use divers to carry out cleaning, while still outside our waters. Eight other misconceptions are presented and addressed. You can read about them here: https://lnkd.in/grfPFFag [Photo by Alonso Reyes on Unsplash]

Where is your vessel headed this winter? As we start to think about heading to the tropics this winter, here's an "oldie but goodie": Webinar: Accessing Exclusive Destinations Forward Looking Sonar for Yacht Managers Sure, the title says this is for #yachtManagers, but the content in this webinar is equally relevant for #expeditionCruiseShip operators, #researchVessels, #USV, and #surveyVessels. "Exclusivity" means something different for everyone. From a navigation point of view, once you've left the main shipping channel, you're likely in poorly mapped waters. Leave a comment about what "exclusivity" means to you and your vessel. By the way, if you're using the latest FarSounder software, you'll be building a map of everywhere you go and you can anonymously share that map across the fleet. In return, you'll get access to the agregate map from everyone else's observations and we can contribute to Seabed 2030 anonynously on your behalf. https://lnkd.in/et3jHAYY #saveNavigation #3dForwardLookingSonar #hydrospatial

"With today’s cruise ships making the Titanic look like somebody’s private yacht, the question is, how much much bigger can these giants get?” - Jonathan Hood, our Sustainable Shipping Manager. A new study from Transport & Environment (T&E) has found that #cruise ships are now five times bigger than the Titanic and are expected to reach eight times the size of the Titanic by 2050. Cruise #ships are massive #emitters - of #greenhouse gases but also of air #pollutants. Southampton is the UK’s busiest cruise ship #port and ranks seventh for the most sulphur oxide air #pollution coming from cruise ships in Europe. In May we found that Southampton suffers the highest levels of ship-produced emissions of nitrogen oxides and fine particulate matter of any port in the UK. More than half of this was produced by just 46 cruise ships calling at the port. Southampton also suffers the third highest levels of sulphur emissions. We need to get serious about developing zero-emission, hydrogen-based #fuels so ships can switch away from filthy #fossil fuels. That means setting binding targets for their use as well as for ports to support zero-emission #technologies. That also includes shore side #electricity, which allows cruise ships to plug in at #berth and to switch off their polluting #engines.

NAVIGATING TROUBLED WATERS: Understanding the Rise in Yachling Accidents THE SUMMER SEASON HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN PEAK TIME FOR YACHTING, WITH COUNTLESS VESSELS TAKING TO THE SEAS TO EXPLORE PICTURESQUE DESTINATIONS. HOWEVER, THIS PERIOD HAS ALSO SEEN A TROUBLING INCREASE IN MARITIME ACCIDENTS, PROMPTING A NEED FOR A DEEPER DIVE INTO THEIR ROOT CAUSES. ARE THESE INCIDENTS MERELY A STATISTICAL PROBABILITY DUE TO MORE YACHTS ON THE WATER, OR ARE THERE UNDERLYING ISSUES AT PLAY AFFECTING SAFETY AT SEA?
