How about the exhaust fumes and particulate fallout from take offs and landings at the airport. You've not mentioned that. How many a day? Must be getting close to 30,000 movements a day - 27,000+ Jan 2019. It is predicted that ships coming here will have to shut down their power generators while port and use land sourced power. This is already happening in other parts of the world, so why not in Port Botany. Maybe that was redacted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it does not float back into Botany Bay. Can’t have those nice white hulls of the cruise ships being stained while they are tied up at the new terminal.😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in rod we trust Posted January 19, 2020 #890 Share Posted January 19, 2020 In 2002 the Carnival Corporation pleaded guilty in United States District Court in Miami to criminal charges related to falsifying records of the oil-contaminated bilge water that six of its ships dumped into the sea from 1996 through 2001. The Carnival Corporation was ordered to pay $18 million in fines and perform community service, received five years' probation and must submit to a court-supervised worldwide environmental-compliance program for each of its cruise ships.[24] For dumping oiled waste into the seas and attempted cover-up Princess Cruise Lines was fined $40 million in 2016. According to federal authorities, it was the "largest-ever criminal penalty" for intentional vessel pollution. Officials said that these practices began in 2005 and persisted until August 2013, when a newly hired engineer blew the whistle. As part of its plea agreement, ships of the parent company Carnival Cruise lines were subjected to a court supervised environmental compliance plan for five years.[25] For violation of the probation terms of 2016 Carnival and its Princess line were ordered to pay an additional $20 million penalty in 2019. The new violations included discharging plastic into waters in the Bahamas, falsifying records and interfering with court supervision as you can read they are still dumping stuff at sea .. I guess to some people if you cannot see the destruction its not happening .. only when people can see it will they believe it.. but by then it will probably be to late as with everything in Australia ..
