Cruise line makes eco breakthrough
One of Switzerland’s leading cruise lines has unveiled a new eco strategy which it claims will change the face of the industry.
After several years of testing on Lake Geneva,
Swizz Crooz has discovered that by putting the engines in reverse, 10411 tons of carbon can be recovered per annum.
The cruise line’s spokesman Al Peen said: "We are thrilled with the results. We know how discerning our clients are and this will enable them to take a holiday that does little or no harm to the environment.
"This process is revolutionary and we are sure others will follow in our footsteps."
Chief research analyst Eniluap Eiznekcm said: "We developed the technology rather quirkily by taking the pith, from a citrus fruit, thus recreating the wave actions felt at sea, and seeing how that reacted to reverse cycle synergy. We discovered by taking more of the pith the more it worked."
