Cruise Ship Waste Management
Summary
Researchers conducted a systematic literature review using the PRISMA method, analysing 47 studies to identify key themes and research gaps in cruise ship waste management. The study used bibliometric and content analysis to characterise the environmental impacts of waste generated by large vessels accommodating over 6,000 passengers and to evaluate current management strategies.
Large cruise ships, capable of accommodating over 6,000 passengers and 1,500 crew members, generate substantial waste, necessitating effective management strategies to mitigate environmental impacts. This study employs a systematic literature review to identify key themes and research gaps in cruise waste management research. Using the PRISMA flow method, 47 relevant research articles were selected based on relevance. The data from these articles were analysed using bibliometric and content analysis techniques. The key themes identified include plastic waste, microplastic waste, food waste, wastewater, and waste management strategies. The study revealed significant research gaps that demand immediate attention and action concerning the effectiveness of waste management strategies, socio-economic considerations, interdisciplinary approaches, regulatory compliance, food waste disposal methods, regional collaborations, policy initiatives, and integrated waste management approaches.
