The COVID-19 screening program has been ended by the CDC.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has ended its Covid-19 screening for cruise ships travelling in U.S. waters. The program, which allowed people to monitor the spread and control of coronavirus, was intended to encourage cruise ships to follow the same screening guidelines. However, this program had some flaws. For example, cruise lines were not always following the COVID-19 screening guidelines.
The CDC published revised guidelines for cruise ship inspections following the pandemic. The agency has published updated guidelines for cruise ship operators. It will also continue to monitor and report on cases to the CDC. The new guidelines were well received by the industry. The CDC works closely with federal agencies, state and local authorities, and health departments to ensure the safety of passengers and crew aboard cruise ships.
Cruise lines plan to reduce their emissions by connecting to shore-power via connectivity
Several cruise lines are now implementing shore power connectivity on their ships to reduce emissions. MSC Cruises, which is third in world cruise lines, plans to put shore power on three of their most recent ship models MSC Virtuosa Poesia MSC Poesia MSC Seaside. Shore power connectivity will let ships run certain systems directly from shore power. This will help reduce costs and noise in port. Additionally, vibrations will be eliminated in the port.
As the cruise industry faces increased scrutiny over water pollution, these companies are turning to alternative fuels to power their ships. One popular alternative is to use liquefied gas, which is cleaner than oil. Large batteries are used to power newer hybrid-powered ships. There are also plans for hydrogen and biofuel. Increasing investments in shore-to-ship power systems will allow ships to connect to shore power sources and switch off their engines when they dock.
