DIARIO DEL PUERTO ENTREVISTA 23 ”THE CRUISE INDUSTRY IS AN ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED, HIGHLY RESPONSIBLE SECTOR” What are your views on the EU Green Deal and the ”Fit for 55” legislation package? The cruise industry is an absolutely committed, highly responsible sector, not only to destinations and communities, but also to the environment: every day we work to reduce our footprint, to continue to build a greener model, which involves major efforts in terms of investment. We are spearheading and driving sustainable maritime innovation, which is key to the decarbonization of transport. In this context, the industry is fully committed to the long-term objectives of the Green Deal and aims to be carbon neutral in Europe by 2050. However, it is also important to underscore the need to find and develop alternative fuels that will help us move towards this goal. What needs do cruise lines have in order to be able to continue operating in the best conditions? What would be your wishlist? I could ask for many things, but perhaps the most important would be to have a non-fossil fuel, available in all ports and at a reasonable price in a short period of time.
