What do Cruise Ships in Philadelphia have to do with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)?
Join us to learn about the Philadelphia Port Authority’s (PPA) plans to bring the cruise ship industry to Philadelphia and the use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel.
- What are the public safety threats for Philadelphia and Southeastern PA?
- What are the potential environmental impacts for the Delaware River and its communities?
- Where will they produce, transport and store LNG – a hazardous, flammable, and explosive material?
- Why haven’t communities been informed?
- Will there be polluting air emissions?
- What is the scope — the size of the ships, how often they will sail, and when?
- Where exactly will these enormous ships dock, fuel up, and be serviced and how will they navigate the Delaware River?
There are many questions for which we have been seeking answers; we will share what we have learned and discuss the implications. We insist the public has the right to know all of this information immediately since the first sailing is supposed to be in April and people who live and work in the region are within the impact zone. We have requested PPA to hold a public information session right away. The potential impacts of this new industry are of great consequence for the environment, the Delaware River, and communities in Pennsylvania, South Jersey, and Delaware.
