If the industry\u2019s growth does not slow, the biggest ships in 2050 will be eight times larger, in terms of tonnage, than the Titanic \u2013 the largest ship on the seas before it sank a century ago, according to the campaign group Transport &amp; Environment (T&amp;E). The group also found that the number of cruise ships has risen 20-fold since 1970.<\/p>\n<p>The report was published as European ports deal with an influx of cruise ships during a summer marred by scorching heatwaves exacerbated by the climate crisis. As residents have complained about pollution and what they see as \u201covertourism\u201d, a handful of ports have cracked down on cruise ships. Barcelona has announced plans to join Amsterdam in taxing cruise visitors, who often only spend a few hours in the city, while Amsterdam has voted to close its central cruise terminal, as Barcelona did in October. Venice has banned big cruise ships from entering its damaged lagoon.<\/p>\n<p>Cruise ships face few engineering restrictions on their size beyond the limits of the ports in which they berth. As demand for luxury travel has boomed, operators have chased economies of scale and built bigger boats.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/article\/2024\/aug\/07\/cruisezilla-passenger-ships-have-doubled-in-size-since-2000-campaigners-warn\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-563\/\">\u2018Cruisezilla\u2019 passenger ships have doubled in size since 2000, campaigners warn<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15631,575,2230,5098],"class_list":["post-132916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cruising","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ship","tag-vessel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132916\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
