Notes

  1. 1.

    ODP of refrigerants is compared to refrigerant R11, which has ODP of 1.0. GWP of refrigerants is compared to CO2, which has GWP of 1.0.

  2. 2.

    Usually cabin air conditioning (cooling) is switched off when balcony door is opened.

  3. 3.

    Cruise ships typically use VSAT providers utilizing satellites on geosynchronous orbits (GEO). MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) and LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites will provide higher Internet speeds and better coverage than VSAT.

  4. 4.

    https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/ and look for “cruise ship inspections”.

  5. 5.

    Cooking on open decks, when there is no overhang above, is also allowed. Instead of a proper galley, a so-called galley module is also possible; this is a “box”, fire insulated and protected like a proper galley, but containing only cooking appliances without space for anybody to enter.

  6. 6.

    The water from the last rinse can be stored and used as the pre-wash water for the next batch.

  7. 7.

    If balconies do not have restricted fire risk furniture, then they need to be equipped with sprinklers. USCG also requires sprinklers for open deck areas covered with an overhang longer than 10 m.
