per day…o 21,000 gallons (appx. 79,493.65 litres) of sewageo 1 ton of garbageo 170,000 gallons (appx. 643,520.00 litres) of wastewater from sinks,
showers and laundryo More than 25 pounds (11.3 kg) of batteries, fluorescent lights, medical
wastes and expired chemicalso Up to 6,400 gallons (24,226.64 l)of oily bilge water from engineso Four plastic bottles per passenger
• Cruise ship guest capacity differs from 300 to 7,300o 75% - 85% of garbage is incinerated → smogo A 3,000 pax ship has more daily fuel pollution than 12,000 cars
