  1. There two Methanol plants here that should be producing Marine Fuel by 2027 , Tassie and Victoria https://www.afr.com/companies/infrastructure/port-of-melbourne-to-ride-tsunami-of-green-methanol-20230424-p5d2w6
  2. I was waiting for the backlash LOL I like the big ships and the small ones,they all have something going for them. The secret with the big ships is to find a nice little place to hang out.
  3. You might be better going to a bar next time. I have used a voucher
  4. There’s a rumour that Quantum maybe converted to duel fuel when isn’t in dry dock this November. Diesel / Methanol, Ready for California. Apparently one of the biggest problems with ethanol is the flammable vapour in the fuel tank. The void in the tank has to be filled with an inert gas like nitrogen .Plus the fuel lines have to be double walled and the void filled with nitrogen. The vapour of the methanol is a lot more volatile than diesel.
  5. I think it was 60% reduction by 2035 and zero emissions by 2050 is the target. Those old ships won’t be around for long. It’s not just the fuel used to move the ship it’s all the stuff in Hotel . Incandescent lighting,old fashioned air conditioning,water production. It all adds up. On the edge the other week the captain said it uses 17% less fuel than a solstice. Thats a fair bit.
  6. The older ships will be going to the scrap yard. The E.U. and California , I believe has said if one of your ships operates here ,your whole fleet must comply to our standards . P&O Australia might be able to get around that as they don’t operate in the E.U. or California.
  7. Like I said I’m not a greenie but this is what the cruise industry will have to deal with. I believe it’s this month of March it’s now mandatory to cut emissions.
  8. I was on Celebrity Edge just recently and the captain had a seminar and one of the subjects was the incoming emissions. He said LNG was just a temporary thing to reduce emissions but it’s not the answer. A interesting thing he said was Egde class is 17% more efficient than Solstice class. Thats fuel burn and carbon emissions.
  9. I’m not a greenie but I thought I would start a thread on cruise ship emissions. Its something people don’t seem to be aware of and have it’s going to effect the cruise industry.
  10. I suppose it will be released soon with our season.
  11. @springaussie Im looking at Ovation’s repo after next season. Apparently after Singapore it does a 5 night to Hong Kong. Have you seen any details of that cruise and where it stops?
  12. Mic likes hanging out at the monkey cage on the weekends. Feels secure and wanted.
  13. Tanna supposed to quite nice ,probably a good place for a murder mystery. I like a story with a monkey in it .
