JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — More than
1 million cruise ship passengers are expected to visit Alaska this year, but
industry officials fear new fuel standards intended to limit pollution from
large ships could drive vessels away and lower that number later.
This will be the first full
cruise season in Alaska under rules that require cargo carriers and cruise ships
to use a low-sulfur fuel within 200 miles of U.S. and Canadian shores. The U.S.
agreed to the standards as part of an international treaty.
While the rules affect much of
the North American coast and Hawaii, officials in Alaska argue they will have a
disproportionate effect here, and they have sued to prevent the restrictions
from being enforced in waters off Alaska's coast.
A federal judge has yet to weigh
in on the lawsuit filed by the state shortly before the new standards took
effect Aug. 1. Meanwhile, the first ships of this season have begun arriving in
Alaska.
