Cruise Lines Invests $22 Bln in Clean Fuel Tech
in environmental stewardship,” said Michael Thamm, Chairman of CLIA Europe and Group CEO of Costa Group and Carnival Asia.“The entire shipping industry benefits from early adoption of innovative technologies by cruise lines—many of which did not exist five to 10 years ago such as exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), LNG as fuel for passenger ships and shore-side power capabilities,” he added.CLIA's 2019 Environmental Technologies and Practices Report said that 44% of new build capacity will rely on LNG fuel for primary propulsion, a 60% increase in overall capacity compared to

, and is shaping the traditional marine and energy markets with sustainable and renewable solutions, all aimed at improving the environmental footprint of marine transport and power production. Wärtsilä provides cutting edge technology for reducing emissions from ships, by providing exhaust gas cleaning systems and dual-fuel hybrid engines designed primarily for liquefied natural gas fuel, a cleaner and purer alternative to diesel or bio diesel. Wärtsilä also designs, supplies, and installs clean technology for ballast water management to reduce the amount of pollutants being discharged
Market Improving for German Equipment Suppliers
Klaus Deleroi, Senior Vice President at MAN Diesel and Turbo SE, Augsburg. “Makers show a massive commitment in their R&D activities with no certain prospect of success. We can thus offer operators today a wide range of highly efficient engines running on conventional fuels including exhaust gas cleaning as well as dual fuel engines, which can also be operated with gas. Overall LNG is the most environment-friendly and probably also the most commercially promising solution.” Secret of success – staff Innovations, productivity improvements and new services are possible only with
