"Icon of the Seas: Navigating Concerns Over World's Largest Cruise Ship's Environmental Impact"

Royal Caribbean International's new Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, sets sail powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), raising concerns about methane emissions. Environmental groups worry about the harmful effects of methane leakage from the ship's engines, which burn more cleanly than traditional marine fuel but pose greater risks for methane emissions. While the company claims the ship is 24% more efficient in carbon emissions than required by global shipping regulations, experts and environmentalists remain concerned about the impact of methane emissions on the climate.
