There was an interesting programme last night on cruise ships and how much pollution they caused. The main problems were the engines - usually large diesels (helped by smaller gas turbines), and the way in which they dispose of waste.
We will look at the problem of diesel emmissions.
One large cruise ship can emit more particulates in a day than 1,000,000 cars, and 30 cruise ships emit more particulates than all the cars in the UK.

The other bad news, is that near to St Katherine's Dock in Lobndon, they are planning to build a cruise ship terminal, and in order to light the ship, the engines may well be "ticking over" 24/7.
