Aaqs For Cruise Ships

Considered an environmental breakthrough AAQS are already installed on over 70 percent of ships in the Costa.

Aaqs for cruise ships. In addition to the use of LNG for cruise ships Costa Group and Carnival Corporations global cruise brands have pioneered the use of Advanced Air Quality System AAQS in. In addition to leading the cruise industrys use of LNG to power cruise ships the company is also pioneering the use of Advanced Air Quality Systems AAQS on board its ships. 1 Carnival Corporations AAQS study results and details are available HERE.

Behind cargo oil tankers military and transport ships cruise ships make up a very small portion of this volume with 280 ships equating to about one half of one percent of the total ships on the ocean over 1000 gross tons. These systems remove sulfur compounds and particulate matter from our ships engine exhaust at any operating state of a ship at sea during maneuvering and in port. In addition to the use of LNG for cruise ships Costa Group and Carnival Corporations global cruise brands have been industry leaders in pioneering the use of Advanced Air Quality System AAQS in the small confines of a cruise ship.

Inside ECAs ships are allowed to burn marine fuel with a cap of 01 sulfur. The Advanced Air Quality Systems also remove a high percentage of particulate matter PM with good effectiveness against the 10- and 25-micron particles and superfines. AAQS generically known as exhaust gas cleaning systems EGCS or scrubbers on our ships.

In the past cruise ships like freighters used Heavy Fuel Oil HFO because it is as much as 30 cheaper compared to alternatives. In addition to leading the cruise industrys use of LNG to power cruise ships the company is also pioneering the use of Advanced Air Quality Systems AAQS on board its ships. Statistics are sparse and it is difficult to find data for previous decades but more recent numbers show that neither the 911 attacks in 2001 nor the Great Recession of 2008-2009 has had an impact equivalent to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Advanced Air Quality Systems AAQS commonly referred to as exhaust gas cleaning systems or scrubbers are a significant technological innovation designed to improve air emissions meet and exceed environmental regulatory standards and support. In addition to its ships that will pioneer the use of LNG the company has been an industry leader with another environmental technology breakthrough making Advanced Air Quality Systems AAQS highly functional in the small confines of a cruise ship. In addition to the use of LNG for cruise ships Costa Group and Carnival Corporations global cruise brands have been industry leaders in pioneering the use of Advanced Air Quality System AAQS.

As of June 2019 we are the maritime leader in scrubbers with 226 AAQS operating on 76 ships with a further 129 in progress or scheduled.
