Compliance checks on cruise ships in Sydney Harbour

Since December 2016, we have conducted 177 compliance checks on 86 cruise ships with 100 per cent compliance observed.

These compliance checks indicate that less than 10 per cent of cruise ships are utilising the option of fitting scrubbers with the majority using low sulphur fuel.
