Interesting and informative. When I first cruised,back in 1970,I remember when bagged garbage was thrown overboard and one would see these plastic bags floating behind the ship,much to the dismay of us passengers. Thankfully this practice no longer exists
What an interesting presentation. I hope all ships are monitored for any possible violations and held accountable. You presented some good points that we as passengers need to adjust to. Thanks Chris for a great job.
Thank you Chris. A very detailed explanation both 'then and now' of how waste is handled on ships. Appreciate your sharing your expertise, looking forward to exploring more of your older videos as well as keeping up to date with the latest. Thanks again.
I was on a p&o cruise recently and I filmed sewage being dumped at sea, it looked horrendous and it didn’t look like it had been treated. I was really disappointed I thought sewage was dealt with in port.
Chris, thank you. Having been on two cruises (Q Victoria and Q Mary 2) and experienced three helicopter medical evacuations (1xVictoria and 2xMary), one call for blood donors, and two calls for the medical teams to attend incidents, its kind of picqued our intrest in this aspect of "behind the scenes". It'd be interesting if you're able to cover this general topic in an informative way. Our interest is purely curiosity as friends tell us that sfter many many cruises they’ve never experienced anything like this. We're on Q Anne next month and wonder whether the number of helicopter evacuations per cruise increases each time like a loyalty banding!!!
Thanks so much!! I’d love to do more lectures on P&O. I’m not booked at the moment. If you have a moment to let them know you’d like to see more maritime history talks aboard that would help 🎉🙏 thanks for your support and kind words.
That was really interesting 😊 I'm glad to know that the shampoo etc I bring on board are good in the gray water and discharge as they don't have parabens, micro plastic or harsh sulfites or chemicals. Honest, I just have hyper sensitive skin so I can't use product with those ingredients
Hi Chris. Although You operate out of Australia You referred to the U.S. conversion of Gallons into Litres. 1 Imperial Gallon equals 4.5 Litres. Not 3.7 as is the U.S. conversion from U.S. gallons. Regards. David.
The easiest solution worldwide would be not to use products that have microplastic inside them. They're also very difficult, I think, to remove in land based treatment plants.
