Demand Canada and the U.S. Take Bilateral Action to Ban Scrubbers

Let's End Cruise Ship Scrubber Pollution in Alaska

The majority of large cruise ships visiting Alaska use exhaust gas scrubber systems as an alternative to burning cleaner but more expensive fuel. These systems result in the daily discharge of millions of gallons of acidic, polluted scrubber wastewater. Cruise ships have a straightforward alternative available right now: burn cleaner fuel and stop using dirty heavy fuel oil and exhaust gas scrubbers.
