Abstract

Nowadays, people who take a cruise don't realize that they are putting both the environment and human health at risk significantly more than if they had chosen to travel by any other means. The large quantities of fuel burned during the voyage pollute the atmosphere and thus endanger health, and the (hazardous) waste and sewage of all kinds that are generated on board every day cannot be left on board. A ship carrying about 3000 passengers produces on average about 80 m3 of waste water per day! Newer ships are often capable of carrying a minimum of 8,000 passengers, so the amount of waste water they produce is obviously higher. Just look at these huge floating cities of 10-12 stories. The amount of waste generated on board, being far greater, must be managed in an environmentally friendly way in accordance with ever stricter standards. These fac tors justify that companies in the industry are constantly working to develop new technologies and solutions, not only with the building of new ships, but also the modernization of older ones.
