世界上最大的邮轮公司——嘉年华邮轮集团宣布，将在2027年之前为旗下大部分邮轮安装空气润滑系统。这一举措能够为每艘船舶减少约5%的船体阻力，将大幅降低整个船队的燃料消耗和碳排放。目前，有五艘邮轮正在安装Silverstream空气润滑系统ALS，嘉年华集团还计划在旗下超过一半的邮轮品牌中，为其现役或新建的至少十艘邮轮安装该系统。随着时间推移，此项目还将不断扩大。空气润滑系统通过空气释放装置泵出大量的微小气泡，在船体底部形成一层“空气毯”，以减少水与船体表面之间的摩擦阻力。此外，嘉年华集团还承诺到2030年将碳排放基线较2019年降低20%，并期望于2050年实现碳中和。

Carnival Corporation & plc, the world’s largest cruise company, is expanding the installation of air lubrication systems to the majority of the cruise line brands in its fleet through 2027. The cruise major expects to generate significant savings in fuel consumption and carbon emissions by reducing hull resistance by approximately 5% per ship. Carnival is currently installing the Silverstream System ALS on five ships. In addition, the company is planning at least 10 more installations for existing and newbuild ships across more than half of its cruise line brands, and it expects continued expansion of the ALS program over time. The system pumps tiny bubbles through air release units on the hull to reduce friction between the vessel and the water, helping it glide through the ocean. On the same time, Carnival Corporation has committed to reducing carbon emission intensity by 20% from its 2019 baseline by 2030 and has set an aspiration to achieve net carbon-neutral ship operations by 2050.

新奥尔良港（Port NOLA）公布了路易斯安那国际码头的项目进展，其中包括可持续性投资和新码头的设计。新码头计划于2025年开始建设，首个泊位将于2028年开放。路易斯安那国际码头还计划配备岸电系统，为靠港船舶提供岸电连接，以代替船上柴油机供电，可消除船舶靠港期间98%的排放，极大减少码头的碳足迹。运营商还将投资建设由电力驱动的码头设备。为此，新奥尔良港正与当地的综合能源公司Entergy Louisiana合作开发变电设施，以满足码头的电力需求。

The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) has announced progress on the Louisiana International Terminal including investments in sustainability and a new terminal design, with construction slated to begin in 2025 and the first berth to open in 2028. The Louisiana International Terminal will be equipped with shore power, allowing vessels to connect to onshore electricity and to turn off diesel engines while at dock. Shore power can eliminate up to 98 per cent of ship-related emissions, vastly reducing the environmental footprint of a maritime terminal. Operators will also be investing in a largely electric fleet of equipment. Port NOLA is working with Entergy Louisiana to develop an onsite substation to provide the electricity needs for the terminal.
