The Importance and Impact of Cruise Ship Tourism: Key Facts
economic activity waste increases
(involving garbage, untreated sewage, and air pollution from vessels)
A study sponsored by the USCG estimated the quantities of waste
produced by ships is comparable to the amount of municipal
waste produced at port cities in the region.
Tourism growth in the Caribbean Tourism growth in the Caribbean
Increased contamination to marine and terrestrial environments.

Why can’t Cruise Ships leave waste ashore?Regional Challenge

Demand for Waste/
RecyclingInadequate
Collection and Disposal Methods
Inadequate National Waste Management
Plans
Limited resources for
Waste facilities in Small States
Areas of Synergy CIP and IMO - MARPOL
1) Increase Transparency
3) Promote ISO Standards
2) Capacity-Building
OAS/CIPCooperation
Agreement with IMO
ISO 16304 Part I &II
U.S. Coast Guard Certification of
Adequacy (COA) Program
Promote technical
exchanges and reporting of
alleged inadequacies through IMO
databases and procedures
U.S. Coast Guard Study recommends
creating a Regional
Collection System to assist
small island ports handle
ship-generated waste.
Establish common
certification procedures
A Green and Modernized Port Reception Facility (PRF)shared by ports/terminals to manage ship generatedwaste, and cargo residues in the Americas
Common focus on:(1) Administrative and legal matters (2) Technology Exchanges(3) Infrastructure and support services
A model PRF may serve as a successful practice promoting theexchange of experiences and strengthening hemispheric cooperation.(1) Authorized vendors can directly remove recycling and incinerated waste
from ships to dispose of them at approved shore side facilities.(2) Landed waste should be segregated by destination: landfills,
incineration, or recycling centers
