Vessels choose to burn fuel in port because of the UK's high electricity costs, a report suggests.
Shore power for cruise ships is available in 33 ports around the world, cruise operator Carnival said
Cruise ships are choosing to burn fuel in port rather than use a city's plug-in shore power facilities, according to a report.Southampton port director Alastair Welch said he encouraged the use of shore powerMore than 500 cruise ships typically visit the port each year and most of the newer vessels have plug-in capability.Port director Alastair Welch said: "Each ship will use twice as much power as the rest of the port put together.
ABP said: "UK power costs are some of the highest in Europe, which could be another barrier to use, with ABP passing on the direct cost to the cruise lines."The effects of cruise ships burning fuel on air quality and health are still being studied. However, a previous study commissioned by Southampton City Council suggested that ships made a relatively low contribution to nitrogen oxide levels in the city.
