Despite all the technology like scrubbers and so forth, Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation received at least ten complaints from citizens watching Norwegian Pearl dock at Juneau on Tuesday. They were complaining about the emissions coming from the ship's smokestack.
The DEC hasn't received the reports from their own observers yet, and they can't talk about whether or not they are in the process of issuing a fine.
Details appeared in the September 7 issue of Cruise News Daily.
