Global Economic Impact (2015) 1. 39 cruise lines domiciled in Europe, 123 cruise ships with a capacity of around 149,000 LB Another 73 vessels with a capacity of around 100,000 lower berths were deployed in Europe by 23 non-european lines. 2. @ 6.12 million passengers embarked on their cruises from a European port, up 4.6% over 2014. Of these around 5.0 million were European nationals and about 1.1 million came from outside Europe.
Total Economic Impacts of the Cruise Sector by European Countries 2015: 1. 39 cruise lines domiciled in Europe, 123 cruise ships with a capacity of around 149,000 LB Another 73 vessels with a capacity of around 100,000 lower berths were deployed in Europe by 23 non-european lines. 2. @ 6.12 million passengers embarked on their cruises from a European port, up 4.6% over 2014. Of these around 5.0 million were European nationals and about 1.1 million came from outside Europe.
Current Opportunities/Challenges Ship owner Expectations Increasing demand for cruising Record newbuilding programme Average ship size increasing Innovative products New destinations New ships are larger than previous generation Port infrastructure needs to develop Congestion Regulatory aspects Particularly environment (global, regional, local) Increased scrutiny from NGOs and local authorities Air emissions, water discharges Lack of cold ironing infrastructure Limited availability of new fuels (i.e. LNG)
Ship owner Expectations Can cruise ships be connected/use Shore Power supply? Criteria to make it successful: YES!!! Availability of an adequate supply of electricity at a reasonable cost. Frequency of calls by cruise vessels equipped to connect to Shore Power. Availability of the same dock and pier facility for these vessels for every call. Adequate dock and uplands space for equipment. Willing partners including utility, port and government agencies.
Shore Power (cont d): Technical requirements: 1. Dual voltage transformer that will supply to 11kV or 6.6 kv ships 2. Internal shore side monitoring & protection (protection relays) 3. Flexibility to connect either 11kV or 6.6kV (independent secondary breakers with Kirk-Key interlocks) 4. Power carried through 5 flexible Ship cables 5. Grounding switch works in conjunction with ships automation system to ensure safety & reliability during cable handling
Shore Power (cont d): Carnival Group Status: Number of ships fitted and ready now for shore power: 36 (two of which are 50Hz) Number of ships with partial installation: 8 Number of new builds on order with (partial) shore power installation: 16 Number of ports in Europe outfitted for shore power (for cruise): 2 (Hamburg and Livorno)
Carnival Group - Why choose LNG? LNG is the only fuel that meets all emissions rules post 2020 without abatement or additional equipment With adoption of IGF code there is regulatory certainty Offers a significant reduction in GHG emissions Aligns with sustainability commitments @20% reduction in carbon emissions 5-100% reduction in particulate matter 85% reduction in nitrogen oxides Zero sulfur dioxide emissions
LNG Journey: 1 st experience - LNG power barge (Hamburg)
AIDAprima & AIDAperla use LNG as fuel in port LNG by truck when in port in Hamburg, Southampton, Le Havre, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, Barcelona, Civitavecchia, and Marseilles
Project XL ONE platform for ANY brand
Energy-savings initiatives 1. Designing ships for greater efficiency: Hull form optimization Installation Air Lubricant Systems High efficiency propellers Use of energy-efficient equipment (LED-lighting) Next generation HVAC-systems Use of steam-turbines to generate electricity from waste heat 2. Executing ship operation and maintenance initiatives: Upgrade waste heat evaporators State of the art automation control of HVAC Introducing differential blasting and hull coating strategies to improve hull Hull and propeller performance monitoring to determine effective cleaning intervals Low temperature heat recovery systems to increase the use of waste heat
Energy-savings initiatives (cont d) 3. Minimizing fuel use and engine emissions: Optimize diesel generator loading Modification of fuel systems to allow for operations at optimal efficiency under port load conditions Condition and performance monitoring Use of advance turbochargers Use of variable speed drives on fan and pump motors for on-demand control 4. Implementing other energy-saving initiatives: Design more fuel-efficient itineraries Use of voyage optimization tools Increase energy use awareness through education Energy efficiency management training courses for engineers Energy monitoring for on-board systems to provide transparency into energy consumption
Conclusions Cruise shipping continues to grow Is a major economic contributor to the European and ports Continues to deliver innovation and technologically advanced designs Continued focus on environmental performance Delivering clean and economic operations Investment in energy efficiency and emissions reduction has economic benefit Engagement with stakeholders critical to our growth
