Giant container freighters are the backbone of global logistics, and luxury cruise ships for thousands of vacationers are on the rise. The Icon of the Seas – the largest cruise ship of all time with five times the mass of the Titanic – has just launched. Until now, such ocean giants have been CO2 catapults. However, in China, models are being developed that are intended to transport goods climate-neutrally – using nuclear energy.
18 passenger decks with every conceivable luxury, seven swimming pools, the largest water park at sea and more than 40 restaurants: According to the ‘Icon of the Seas’ operator Royal Caribbean, the 5,700 passengers on the 365-metre long ship with 2,350 crew members would have found nothing missing on the first trip at the end of January. According to the company, you don’t have to have a bad conscience, as the ocean giant’s 90,000 hp engines can run on both heavy oil and LNG natural gas and are supported by fuel cells, which is intended to reduce CO2 emissions. . But the cruise line is hiding something.
