1. Emission Reduction: Cruise ships are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, so it is important to opt for renewable energy sources and adopt new technologies to minimize the emissions.
2. Marine Life Protection: In order to minimize the environmental impact, it is important for cruise ships to have procedures in place that protect the marine life such as avoid dumping waste, avoid oil spills, and use wastewater treatment facilities.
3. Waste Management: Cruise ships generate a significant amount of waste, so it is important to handle the waste in an eco-friendly manner, recycling as much as possible.
4. Energy Management: Cruise ships require a lot of energy to operate, so it is important to adopt energy-efficient technology and to minimize energy consumption to reduce the environmental impact.
5. Preservation of Natural Habitats: Cruise ships need to avoid entering protected areas and ecosystems, in order to protect the ecology, wildlife and maintain tourism sustainability.
6. Noise Pollution: Cruise ships significantly contribute to underwater noise pollution, affecting the behavior of many marine species, and so it is important to regulate and minimize vessel noise pollution.
7. Control of Ballast Water: Cruise ships need to adopt appropriate steps to control ballast water transport to prevent the spread of invasive species to avoid ecological and economic damage.
