I was reading an article about diesel railway engine exhaust emissions and this gem about ship emissions cropped up.
"According to a report in the Financial Times today the 15 biggest ships in the world produce more sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide (both are greenhouse gases) than all cars on earth. I have also read that a large cruise ship emits the same particulate matter as a million cars."

True and a problem, but not in the canter of a city.a large cruise ship emits the same particulate matter as a million cars.
Another way of looking at is is every million car drivers we convert to electricity means one cruse ship worth of emissions removed.
TBH, for me, you can just remove all the cruse ships now, not going to impact my life in any negative way.
