Imboni ye-Cruise igqamisa imizamo eqhubekayo yokuvikela indawo esebenza kuyo

WASHINGTON, DC - Ekunanzeni ilanga loMhlaba, iCruise Lines International Association (CLIA) namuhla iveze imizamo eqhubekayo yamalungu ayo ukuvikela imvelo yolwandle.

I-CLIA kanye nemigqa yamalungu ayo banentshisekelo yokuvikela imvelo, hhayi nje ngoba kuyinto ebophezelekile ukuyenza - kodwa futhi ngoba ulwandle oluhlanzekile namabhishi kubalulekile ekuhlangenwe nakho kokuhamba ngomkhumbi. Izindinganiso zamazwe ngamazwe zezemvelo ezisebenza embonini yezokuvakasha ziqinile futhi zibanzi futhi zisungulwa yi-International Maritime Organization (IMO), i-ejensi yeZizwe Ezihlangene, kanye nemithetho kazwelonke yamazwe asechwebeni lapho imikhumbi ehamba ngomkhumbi ivakashela khona. Imboni yezokuvakasha, nokho, isebenzisa izinqubo nezinqubo ezivikela kakhulu imvelo kunalokho okudingeka ngokomthetho futhi imigqa yamalungu e-CLIA kufanele ihlangabezane futhi ngokuvamile idlule yonke imithetho esebenzayo yezemvelo ohambweni lomkhumbi.

Amalungu e-CLIA abehamba phambili ekuhlanzeni amanzi angcolile, ukunciphisa ukungcola kanye nokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe obusha ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokunciphisa umthelela wemvelo wokuhamba ngomkhumbi.

"Ngiziqhenya kakhulu ngokutshala imali okubanzi nokuzibophezela okuqhubekayo kwemigqa yethu yamalungu ukuvikela indawo yezizukulwane ezizayo ngokusebenzisa imikhuba eqotho kanye nokuqamba okusha okuqhubekayo," kusho uChristine Duffy, umongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-CLIA. "Imboni yezokuvakasha itshale imali enkulu ukuthuthukisa nokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha obuhlukahlukene obuvikela ikhwalithi yomoya namanzi futhi kwandise ukusebenza kahle kwamandla."

Ukusebenza kahle kwamandla yinto egxile kakhulu embonini yezokuvakasha, eseye yamukela izinqubo ezifana nokusebenzisa amanzi ashisayo asetshenziswe kabusha ukushisisa amakhebhini abagibeli, isebenzisa ukufakwa okukhethekile kwamafasitela ukuze kugcinwe amaphaseji epholile kuyilapho kusetshenziswa umoya opholile omncane, kanye nokushintshela kumalambu anamandla aphansi e-LED ahlala angu-25. izikhathi ezinde, sebenzisa amandla amancane ngo-80%, futhi ukhiqize ukushisa okungaphansi ngo-50%. Yonke le mizamo iphinde yehlise ukukhishwa komoya. Amalungu e-CLIA atshale imali kakhulu kule minyaka eyishumi edlule ukuthuthukisa nokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha obusiza ukunciphisa ukukhishwa komoya, okuhlanganisa ukusebenzisa izikhuhla zegesi ephumayo, ukuthuthukisa izinjini ezisebenza kahle kakhulu nokwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ogwini, okubandakanya umkhumbi oxhuma ogwini- amandla aseceleni futhi ivala izinjini zayo ngenkathi isechwebeni.

Ngokusebenzisana ne-IMO, i-United States kanye namanye amafulegi namachweba aseMelika, i-CLIA ibambe iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni kwamazinga omhlaba angaguquki nafanayo alawula ukuphathwa kwemfucuza asebenza kuyo yonke imikhumbi engamalungu ehambela amazwe ngamazwe. Amalungu e-CLIA futhi amukele Izinqubo Nezinqubo Zokulawulwa Kwemfucuza Embonini Yemikhumbi, ezivikela kakhulu kunezimfuneko ezikhona zokulawula.

Imigqa eminingi yamalungu e-CLIA inikeza izinhlelo zokuqwashisa abagibeli nokubakhuthaza ukuba bonge amandla futhi babe neqhaza emizamweni yemboni yokunakekela imvelo ngokugaywa kabusha kwephepha, ipulasitiki, amathini e-aluminium kanye nengilazi ngokusebenzisa imigqomo ezinikele kuwo wonke umkhumbi. Abagibeli bayakhuthazwa futhi ukuthi balondoloze amandla njengoba bebengenza ekhaya, njengokucisha izibani uma bengekho emakhabetheni abo.

Izinyathelo ezengeziwe kanye nezinqubo ezikhona emigqeni yamalungu e-CLIA zihlanganisa okulandelayo:

Imigqa eminingana isezigabeni ezihlukene zokusebenzisa izinhlelo ezithuthukile zokuhlanza amanzi angcolile ezingakhiqiza amanzi ahlanzekile kunezindawo eziningi zokuhlanza amanzi angcolile emadolobheni ase-US.

Ilungu elilodwa lifake ama-solar emikhumbi emihlanu - futhi emkhunjini owodwa kufakwe ama-solar panel angaphezu kuka-200, akhiqiza amandla anele ukuze asebenzise izibani ze-LED ezingaba ngu-7,000.

Imigqa eminingi yamalungu isebenzisa izikhwama zendwangu - okuhlanganisa izingubo, ukuhlanza okomile, nezikhwama zokukhanya kwezicathulo - esikhundleni sezikhwama zepulasitiki, ngaleyo ndlela kunciphisa ipulasitiki emfuleni kadoti.

Olayini abaningi basebenzisa i-ecology, non-toxic coatings, okonga cishe u-5% wokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli ukuze kuqhutshekwe.

Ukufingqa okuvela ezindlini zokupholisa umoya ebhodini lomkhumbi kuyabuyiswa bese kuphinda kusetshenziselwe ukugeza amadekhi emikhunjini yamalungu olayini be-CLIA, konga kufika kumalitha ayizigidi ezingu-22.3 amanzi ahlanzekile ngo-2012 kuphela.

Ulayini welungu elilodwa le-CLIA wonga iphepha ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lwe-E-Tickets oluletha amadokhumenti ohambo ezivakashini nge-elekthronikhi esikhundleni sephepha. Amadokhumenti ohambo lwabagibeli alethwa njengefayela le-PDF nge-imeyili.

Imikhumbi eyahlukene ifaka izinto zikagesi ezisebenza kahle kakhulu emikhunjini yazo ukuze kuncishiswe umthelela wazo endaweni ezungezile. Lonke uhlobo lwento esetshenziswayo emikhunjini ihlolwa ngokusebenza kahle, okuhlanganisa ama-TV, abenzi bekhofi, ohhavini kanye nemishini yokugeza izitsha.

Ulayini owodwa we-CLIA uzikhiqizela wona u-87% wamanzi asetshenziswa emikhunjini yayo, uma kuqhathaniswa nama-65% ngo-2008.

Ulayini welungu elilodwa le-CLIA wethula uhlelo oluguquguqukayo lokukhiqizwa kwamanzi ahlanzekile olusebenzisa amandla angaphansi kwama-40% kunezinhlelo zendabuko.

Izinhlelo zamanje zokugaywa kabusha kwebhodi lemikhumbi emikhunjini yomugqa owodwa zisusa amathani angaphezu kuka-900 ensimbi, ingilazi, ipulasitiki nephepha - cishe amaphesenti angama-45 ayo yonke imfucumfucu eqinile ekhiqizwayo - emfuleni kadoti ojwayelekile unyaka ngamunye.

Ngezinhlelo zayo zokulawula imfucuza, ulayini owodwa ukhuphule imfucuza egaywe kabusha futhi yasetshenziswa kabusha ngamaphesenti angaphezu kwama-75 ngenkathi yehlisa inani lemfucuza ezolahlwa ngaphezu kwama-50% eminyakeni emihlanu edlule.
