  On 2 June 2015 the NSW parliament released a consultation draft of new regulations which will mandate the use of low sulphur fuel (0.1% or less) by all cruise ships berthing in Sydney Harbour after 1 October 2015 and in all NSW ports after 1 July 2016, Holding Redlich informs. The requirement for all cruise ships to use low sulphur fuel in Sydney Harbour from 1 October 2015 will apply to the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Darling Harbour and the White Bay Cruise Terminal, Sydney’s two main cruise terminals. The draft regulations introduce an offence if any of the engines of a ship use fuel other than low sulphur fuel during berthing operations, for which the Master and Owner are held liable and may be penalised up to $22,000 in the case of the Master and $44,000 in the case of Owners.  Limited exemptions to the use of low sulphur fuel are provided.  However, they do not accommodate ordinary commercial operational constraints and will only apply in exceptional and unexpected circumstances.   Obligations are also imposed on vessel Owners in relation to keeping log books and other records relating to the use of fuel within the regulated ports.  The ...

  Carnival Corporation announced it has signed a multi-billion dollar contract to build four next-generation cruise ships with the largest guest capacity in the world. The four new ships will also feature a revolutionary “green cruising” design. The ships will be the first in the cruise industry to be powered at sea by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) — the world’s cleanest burning fossil fuel, representing a major environmental breakthrough. The company said two of the ships will be manufactured for AIDA Cruises at Meyer Werft’s shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Additional information about the ships, including which new ships will be added to each brand, will be made available at a later date. Based on Carnival Corporation’s innovative new ship design, each of the four next-generation ships will have a total capacity of 6,600 guests, feature more than 5,000 lower berths, exceed 180,000 gross tons and incorporate an extensive number of guest-friendly features. A major part of the innovative design involves making much more efficient use of the ship’s spaces, creating an enhanced onboard experience for guests. Pioneering a new era in the use of sustainable fuels, the four new ships will be the first in the cruise industry to use ...

  Ocean liners will be prevented from docking overnight at the terminal at Balmain until the State Government regulates low-sulphur fuel use in the harbor, ABC News reports. The New South Wales Port Authority has suspended overnight cruise ships from berthing at Sydney's White Bay Terminal in response to community concerns about fuel fumes. The move has been welcomed by the Leichhardt Council but it said the terminal also needed to be fitted with shore-based power so ships are not required to keep their engines running, which causes excess fuel emissions. "The temporary suspension and the anticipated regulation of sulphur fuel, which needs to happen urgently, are both welcome steps," Leichhardt Mayor Rochelle Porteous said in a statement. "However, ship to shore-based power must be retrofitted as soon as possible and noise mitigation addressed." Mayor Porteous said the community had suffered significant impacts. "Putting cruise ships with their engines running, invasive noise and diesel fumes belched out across the peninsula just next door to family homes was always going to have significant impacts," she said. A spokeswoman from the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) said it has been working with local residents to remedy concerns about emissions from cruise ships. ...
