‘I am involved with to ban the use of heavy fuel oil in the Arctic. The first blog below from come a research group – the International Council on Clean Transportation. It follows a couple of media pieces (Huffington Post, Guardian) on the cruise of the Crystal Serenity with over 1000 passengers through the north west passage.
