While the European Unions Fit for 55 programme will put pressure on passenger ships of all kinds to switch to either emission free fuels or shore power while in port the IMOs Carbon Intensity Index represents a nearer term challenge for cruise ships. This will reduce ship emissions of SOX NOX CO2 and fine particulate matter.
