Enter the famous judaica can no. Venice isnt the only place where the cruise boom has faced backlash another one is no way. The country is one of the Top Destinations for cruises from germany. The guy who under fuel it another unesco World Heritage site is especially popular. If you want attracts many cruise tourists. Its picture perfect. But the high mountains surrounding the narrow fjords mean exhaust fumes cannot disperse. During the shooting for this film have that lloyd and i need to wait in the fuel it. But the problem of concentrated pollution because with all crews operators. The guy running a field isnt the only case like this well granik fama and as full time has his fun inflow on the famous son yeah. Sure there are new factories in sight but that doesnt mean the end is a waste. We often have very still dice that we often have 2 or 3 or 4 ships and is a very still day and the 4 ships plus all the express both of the ferries and the buses and the cars and this sort of this is the sum of all this is it really that the slow the air is absolutely terrible the debris and the smell the smell of flour used to beat you up cross now the smell is crude or or a few you can burn fuel. Than a week in parliament decided that from 2026 onwards only completely a mission free ships would be allowed into the fields then diesel and heavy oil for ship fuel will be banned completely. Resistance to the booming cruise industry is also growing elsewhen. Amsterdam is demanding more money from cruise ships protests taking place in dubrovnik and an american cruise ship captain was put on trial and pollution charges in mustang. And in vandeman done. And measuring station was set up in 2015 but not in the residential area. Geminis ministry for the environment provides no information on fine particulate matter it also claims that knowledge of particulate matter environment is within range. The situation is similar in hamburg. To the ministry for environment tries to appease Health Concerns by saying that according to the measuring stations by the harbor the levels are within compliance range. Does that mean that the German Government thinks cruise ships pose no risk to health. One of the measuring stations is located in the middle of the huge industrial port area like some freedom east takes a closer look. Showed me it seems every pretty far away from the water distance dilutes the air so there is less to measure but the real problem is that nobody lives here nobody walks here so if im trying to measure the impact illusion is having on Peoples Health and i cant do that from this point its going to hit a fish to the next measuring station living ill turn a cruise terminal is tucked away behind told residential buildings accelerated he says this location isnt ideal for measuring air pollution levels either yet hamburgs department of environment states the levels again are in range. Thats just one problem the e. U. Has set a limit full weight of particulate matter in the air many experts argue that this form of measurement alone is not enough to determine Actual Health risks. Launch heavy particles are usually filtered out when we were no use its the small particles that are most harmful even just a few of the tiny particles can damage our health that is why a limit value based on weight or known doesnt provide sufficient information. Storage hes approach to measuring particulate matter adequate with the ultra fine particles which are very very small have no weight and thats why theyre so problematic because they can penetrate deep into our lungs and into our brain size and these are really the things that should be measured but only researchers or environmental organizations do thats unacceptable and this is. The official limits by weight a 1000000 indication for atmospheric aerosol particles in order to determine Actual Health risks. Measures the amount of particles in the air not their total weight. Hes not the only one skeptical of official measurement procedures. It makes no sense from our point of view measuring the number of particles and so that absolutely necessary. So i think all thirtys are aware that they could achieve much more with measuring find a particular matter or even chemically determining the particles composition or cell phone parts you can see. They dont have the funds to implement the change and the directives havent been updated. Since its this year so far there is no official body that regularly measures fine particular matter is free so you have to rely on measurements dunbar environmental associations or by people like me or i or whats in the ministry for environment in mclean book for common is the 1st one that wants to measure fine particulate matter pollution. Inflames make hush dine with authorities do not have current data on evolution from ships and from ships in particular. The office responsible says it does not expect limits not being exceeded. Nonetheless the measuring station for pollution by ships is planned for 2019 by the key to florida. Trust only just money its battling is it and a federal state surrounded by the sea as they say there are no stations recording pollution by ships and that all that gets done is what is officially prescribed not what is actually necessary to protect Peoples Health visual images i find that frightening. The mouth of the elbow in there with saxony where frank says and cruise ships also abound. The ministry of the environment in hanover has said the following regarding evolution ship emissions evidently playing a role in certain areas but they are not seen to be a relevant factor in achieving equality targets in lowest saxony. Other places take a more modern approach. Every time a ferry from the shipping Company Color line from key. Arrives here and also know it gets connected to a power socket and modernization and introduced in 2011. As soon as the ship is stationary a robot secures the plug. The shipping company opted to power it shipped this way so that this city Diesel Engine can be switched off while in harbor. The reason why we harvest gold rosol is that color line said that we are going to do this that shows that this is the way to do it and they also looked into the investment in it but it was also very important to them to be the 1st to show that this is possible and in that way its important to now give keys on hong bird. At the port of also we want to. We want to challenge and say go for it. In hamburg only one of the 3 cruise terminals has an on shore power supply line and only since 2017. The Construction Costs of around 10000000 euros were paid by taxpayers not the cruise ship company. An employee of the Ford Administration demonstrates how the device works directly because so far only one shipping company aida has used the key with on shore power and only 20 times in all of last year around 90 percent of all cruise ships to not use the environmentally move friendly option of power although many of them could another problem is that some ships are too long well the power terminal is too small recently i need only used power from 8 am to 10 30 am then it was switched off because from 10 30 am onward electricity becomes more expensive. Were trying from a technical point of view its not difficult to build more on shore power stations and other ports. Have always photo just a big challenge we face is that the price of diesel which is crucial when electricity is being produced on board has fallen significantly since 2014. In 2014 the Business Case for on shore power was profitable but now it is and because of the drop in diesel prices. Right now there is basically no money to be made from on shore power stations across europe and its cheaper for shipping companies to produce electricity on board with diesel. And the other 2 hamburg crews 10 minutes on full power stations on to vailable for the time being is he said that this will change in the next few years. But in the meantime ships continue to pass on the option of using on chilled power. Since the station was finished 139. 00 crew ships capable of using on szell power passed by the station without plugging in. So far the Hamburg Senate has done nothing to change this. It was different and also. The ship operator has been the costs for the on shore power supply. Our politicians are pushing out there wanting us to go forward with this investment because they find that its important for the city and also its also trying to bring because one of europes green scythe is. So theyre pushing us to try and find a solution. There are plans to offer on full power for cruise ships. On a monday however the city in Port Companies still hope that the responsible federal government will lead with the electricity price if possible for the entire. Dang. Mrs fleming has been listening to this argument back in full for years. Until one day so again were the ones who are being kept waiting at the moment the conversation has fallen quiet but it comes up time and again thats what bothers me because nothing ever gets done. With on show power yes. The cruise industry says cruise lines bring income through tourism to port cities. In the bag and no way an expert from the business tested this claim. Saying lawson used to advise cruise lines now hes professor at the university of bag and we have started this extensively over many years and we have data from social show for visitors to our poll and we do know that the people who live the nice mommy and the burger thats for course truly just even the backpacker all become part of the. Home more part time for live for at least twice as much mana per person per day as the cruise ship patrols. According to research by the university of bag and passengers from all cruise line is spent an average of 41. 00 euros per person per visit on land. For 2017 crew Ship Companies estimated that their passengers spent 48 euros a day on land in germany. In hamburg the chamber of commerce calculated that in 2012 cruise tourism brought the city around 540. 00 euros per passenger. However the Hamburg Chamber of commerce study included Additional Data including figures from the port anniversary. Hamburg zora turnover of 270000000 euros in 2012 with cruises to cities. Politicians aboud these figures justify the taxpayer funding costs for terminals and power stations. But does the cruise boom also mean higher tax revenues. In the case of the market aida the research is complicated. Thats because i had a belongs to the Italian Company costa which in turn is a subsidiary of the u. S. Cruise group carnival. Kind of a list listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the us a Bad Companies are subject to strict complication requirements. The f. C. C. The us Stock ExchangeSupervisory Authority is when you can find data on aida in the many documents filed by the eda Parent Company khan of all it says. That i need is exempt from German Corporation tax. I knew joe was subject to a tax rate of 6 percent in italy. This recently dropped to 5. 5 percent. My latest response. The ships of the aida fleet sail under the italian flag. It goes without saying that we not only comply with tax and feel obligations in germany and italy but anywhere else we travel to in accordance with Respective National legislation. We are driving engine for regional economies and also for maritime sites such as germany. Similar to aida other cruise liners also enjoy tax concessions in their foreign home ports. This way they can legally reduce tax payments in germany. The corporations are aware of the environmental problems they say they are open to new technologies and marine fuels but the exhaust their dream ships them it remains nebulous because operators do not publish precise data. From told the viscous weve found that its just as dirty as it was before as far as the particles are concerned so far weve seen
