GUT2407 Posted May 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Apparently hit for $50K over non low sulphur fuel at White Bay. Not sure which ship, but they said P&O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted May 19, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Why? As above, for burning non low sulphur fuel at White Bay, basically air pollution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabansail Posted May 19, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Some background information Ships moved there for the convenience of the Packer gambling empire. Done on the cheap so no shore power. Bunker diesel is toxic to local residents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted May 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Here's the information on it: http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/epamedia/EPAMedia16051901.htm Seems Carnival weren't ignoring it, but hadn't switched over quickly enough. "Mr Sheehy said that Carnival PLC had advised the EPA that its P&O Cruises Australia ships will start their changeover from high sulfur fuel earlier to address the problem. “The EPA has taken a further three samples from the Pacific Jewel since the 26 February and all have complied,” he said."

Sportfisher Posted May 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 21, 2016 On the Sea Princess they switch to diesel in White Bay not the usual bunker fuel oil. This is done to eliminate harmful pollution Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
