A very heartfelt thanks to all of our supporters and campaigners - everyone that signed our petition, helped with crowdfunding donations, supported us on social media and shouted so loud for the community that we could no longer be ignored
Good info on plans for the former cruise terminal site. Our lobbying and thousands strong petition played a significant part in the decision to scrap the planned terminal
NEW: Plans for new homes next to what was meant to a cruise liner terminal at Enderby Wharf in Greenwich will be revealed next month

@MayorofLondon This 30 year old tub has just moored at Greenwich. Emissions equivalent to about 500 HGVs. You're missing out on £150,000 a day in ULEZ charges! @EastEndEnquirer @LDN_environment @DrGaryFuller @TfL @APPGairpoll @MumsForLungs @EGRA_London

This article cites a report that reviews 200 scientific papers on the impacts of cruise tourism. independent.co.uk/climate-ch… Scientific report: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Disappointing to see a cruise ship back in Greenwich running diesel generators 24/7. We hoped that @LondonPortAuth and @Royal_Greenwich had declared a moratorium on cruise ships in London until they had installed an onshore power supply. So much for a climate emergency!
If its good enough for Antwerp it ought to be good enough for London's ports @LondonPortAuth

Been revisiting opposition to the Enderby Wharf cruise terminal for a class later in the week. Dug out this vague promise of an alternative vision from @DanLThorpe in 2018 "we could build a new Peninsula Park on the riverfront for everyone to enjoy" Wonder what happened to that?

Bicycle tourism is a growing sector of the #tourism market and contributes € 44 billion to the European economy every year. Roughly the same as the whole European #cruiseship industry! 🚴♂️🚴♀️= 🇪🇺🚢 ecf.com/sites/ecf.com/files/…
The lovely little green space is so close to where the proposed but now hopefully abandoned forever London cruise terminal at Enderby Wharf would have been built.

@BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News cruise liners moored off our coast are causing #AirPollution while going nowhere. Fuelling our #ClimateCrisis without any passengers they are not harmless tourist attractions. 👇
The fuel cruise ships burn is 100 times more polluting than the fuel we allow on roads 🚢vs 🚗🚛
⚠️This has a huge environmental impact on oceans, their ecosystems and on air quality in the coastal communities visited by these ships

Article from leading newspaper in Norway - @Hurtigruten bluffed that crew members had been quarantined for 10 days in cabins itromso.no/meninger/leder/20… It turned out that quarantine had never taken place, instead they started working on @cruise ship as soon as they came on board.

Cruise ships, early incubators of the coronavirus, prepare to return to sea in Europe washingtonpost.com/world/eur… #cruise lines are “essentially viewing their customers as guinea pigs ... and hope for the best” @CarnivalPLC @CostaCruises @aida_de / @COVID19 via @washingtonpost
The fight against these highly polluting plague ships isn't over yet.
Yesterday #OceanRebellion launched their campaign against cruise shipping in Falmouth.
Luxury cruise ships emit 10x more air pollution than Europe’s cars & fill the ocean with sewage & waste. The industry pays no fuel tax.
We can't go on like this
