    <title>CC-016 Shore-to-ship: 90% less harbour pollution: Version 1.1: corrections (Corrections: (1) “No source gives the basis of the 90%” / “basis not published” → Infrastructure Malta’s 2020 and 2022 pages give it, scoped to the pollution ships produce, with per-liner cuts (NO2 −93%, PM −92.6%, SO2 −99.6%, CO2 −39.6%) [10, 11]; the 2023 page dropped the scope (Section 1). (2) Section 3: the 90% inferred from hotelling’s share of CO2 [7] → Infrastructure Malta’s own per-pollutant figures, research kept as context. (3) Sub-claim D “Consistent” → “Figures vary”: EUR 33m (2024 launch), 37m (phase 1) and 49.9m (whole project); the TL;DR no longer attributes EUR 33m to the project page, which gives no cost. (4) TL;DR point 4 “extra calls roughly cancel the emissions saved” → states that calls are calendar years, uptake July–July and shore power was available from July 2024. (5) 2019 calls: also given by Infrastructure Malta citing the NSO. ‘What would move it down’: removed the clause saying no scoped wording was found. Verdict and confidence unchanged.)</title>
