I checked out the links. The one graded all the cruise ship lones 0 for non poluting. Carnival has some ships using LNG. About 50% set up for using on shore power. Also Carnival stated after the $40mil fine in 2016 for the 2013 in fractions on 5 ships (which wasn't using company policy) they did an internal audit and found a couple of other ships were violating company poluyion policy and was corrected. So to me looks biased (every line haf a 0 rating) and the cruise lines are being pro active on being non polluting.
Also what I don't see is the mention of the passengers are not making a polution in their home town..as they moved to a ship to usr lights,flush the toilet, leave food waste on the table.
Back to the origional statement. I don't see how GEBE could supply powet to 1 cruise ship without sacrificing service to SXM customers. Which then many resorts would have to power up their own diesel generator s Wendell
