A propeller for air pollution control means that on the ship a technology is used, which reduces the air pollution clearly.
A propeller for climate protection means that a technology is used on this ship, which significantly reduces the greenhouse gas emissions.
All vessels operating on heavy fuel oil or only bring their exhaust to legally permitted level by means of a scrubber are rated with four red propellers. For each measure, beyond this, individual ships receive proportionately green propellers, allowing them to be placed in the ranking ahead of its competitors.
*AIDAprima and AIDAperla are equipped with Soot Particle Filter and SCR-Catalytic System but regarding the company, the exhaust treatment is unfortunately not fully operational. Thus they got only a half propeller each.
**TUI Cruises uses scrubber also on open seas outside of Emission Control Areas were they could legally burn heavy fuel oil without exhaust aftertreatment.
