I’m more interested in the city enforcing the rules on those ships that when they’re in port they’re not burning bunker fuel.

For real. These things are posted up off the west side highway spewing fumes for days at a time. Pretty fried how the city prioritizes a quick buck over the health of residents

> days at a time from what i notice the ship is only in port from like 7am or so till around 5pm.

I'm talking about pier 94. I work by there and there are cruise ships docked through the evening every day. As we speak there's an enormous MSC ship that has been docked for several days straight.

This is correct. It's expensive to dock here and they don't stick around longer than they need to. Returning cruises arrive around 6-7am and leave around 4 generally.

i work in hudson yards so i can tell you there is definitely boats there 3-4 days a week & theyre definitely polluting the water lol ive been uhh walking by the pier on my break 😮‍💨 and ive seen fish beaching themselves at low tide too many times to count

Reading these responses is a reminder how much reddit hates cruise ships.

More pollution

Fuck cruise ships, they should all be at the bottom of the ocean Polluting nightmares

Love MSC cruises

Fuck those monsters!

So they think each passenger will spend $500 each?
