Air travel is a big contributor to air pollution as well though isn't it ?
I blame farting Argentinian cows and non-EU volcanos

Cruise ships make about 0.3 ton per mile at cruising speed... and that is burning marine distillate too, not diesel as we would know it.
Listen to the piece, it's not about marine distillate, people don't live in the sea
The big issue in places like Southampton and soon Greenwich isn't the output at cruising speed (obv, it's moored) it's the shore power diesel generators spewing health damaging amounts of pollution all over densely populated areas.
A typical large cruise liner can have a standing 1.4MW of lighting load.
All running off quayside gensets 'belching poison'
Fuel indeed for the green lobby and cash strapped local authorities.
My point is that IFEP ships don't need to run off shore power...
