Cannes Imposes Restrictions on Cruise Ships - Economic.bg News

However, the ban will not cover cruise ships at all. The specific objective of the new Cannes guidelines is for ships that do not qualify for the 0.1% sulfur content.

The Norwegian cruise line Holdings, which accounts for about 40% of Cannes' total cruise ship traffic, has signed an agreement with the city, promising to make its ships more environmentally friendly.

Saint-Raphael, another French port city located between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, is now implementing a similar decision. Ships wishing to dock by 2020 will need to sign such an agreement to reduce their emissions.
