Neither cruise lines or European ports as cruise ships calling, have the courage to invest in the necessary shore power plant that will reduce air pollution in cities. By Birgitte Marfelt November 11, 2014 at. 05:17
The great ambitions in several European ports to be able to provide berthing cruise liners with the power to reduce large emissions of sulfur, NOx and particulate matter from ships' generators seems to have been shipwrecked.
Oslo had otherwise great ambitions to go ahead with shore power. By 2015, the cruise ships turn off their diesel engines and get shore. There was laid cable channels in the harbor, and route the ferries from Color Line got shore power this year.
"Cruise lines change the route every year and is not willing to commit. So it is a large investment in a customer which itself is not very willing to take part of the risk. Therefore, it is an open discussion, who will make the investment, "says Heidi Neilson. Pollution continues in Copenhagen
Shore power for cruise ships were also considered as Europe's largest cruise terminal in early summer opened in Copenhagen Harbour. Here opted out of the terminal's publicly owned company, City and Port, a 30 MW-shore power installation for cruise ships, although about a quarter of sulfur in the air in the capital comes from shipping.
"If more ports went along, there would of course also be more incentive for companies to convert the ships to receive shore power, but unfortunately it is not something you have plans," said Senior Consultant in Town and Port Kirsten Ledgaard in the spring to engineer .
One of the problems is that the cruise lines do not want to enter into long-term agreements with the ports. If the cruise lines must invest in inverter technology, they require that multiple ports offer shore power.
In return, Color Line two ships daily sailing between Kiel and Oslo, for a total investment bread bin of 17.5 million dollars for three years received 50 Hz power from the dock and have therefore been able to turn off the diesel engines when they are located in Oslo. It has reduced the total air emissions from Oslo Harbour with nine percent. But only the conversion of the vessels amounted to 13 million crowns.
For cruise ships, the environmental effect of providing them with shore be far greater than the ferries. Where each ferry uses power equivalent to 500 apartments, user each cruise ship with all its hotel facilities three to four times as much power equivalent to 1,500-2,000 apartments. No use - no effect
According to an analysis by the Oslo harbor requires a facility that can simultaneously provide two cruise bread bin ships with shore power, just on the land side investment of nearly 100 million dollars in a large facility that changes the frequency from 50 Hz to the country to 60 Hz on board.
New catalytic process restricts ship pollution bread bin
In Hamburg, one is still in the process of development of rural power systems for cruise ships, although here too there is no any economy in the Serene, this is pure politics. A question I personally often think about what is really happening in case of power failure? Elbe has sometimes very strong currents and changing water levels, which requires that the ships are being held at the dock by means of motor games. Can security is maintained when the power fails?
You need an initiative from the EU. It could f.ex. be a charge of burning of bunker oil in port areas, or more simply a tax on the quay. The tax could then be used to support the construction of shore power plants. It's obviously bread bin not something that the individual port or country bread bin can handle. Being Copenhagen for animals bread bin can instead plant in Malmö - and will Corsica for animals, you can instead put to Sardinia.
Does it not just double safety since one can then start the engines. Right now you nothing, if the generator on the ship should fail. Alternatively, one can also have emergency power on land. But it's not often that there is a power failure these days.
I know, most of the larger bread bin ships able to produce power for "the interest of safety, necessary operational machinery and auxiliary systems (including games) on anything other than the primary generator.
A large cruise ship probably has a handful bread bin of generators, so there should suddenly electricity shortage one can in such a case, start by connecting half the lights on the ship out and the heat in the pool and cooling in the ice rink,
