AAPA Hails Passage Of Vessel Air Emissions Bill

The American Association of Port Authorities today praised Congress
for passing H.R. 802, the Maritime Pollution Prevention Act, which
will now be transmitted to President Bush for his signature.

The legislation will implement Annex VI of the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, more commonly
known as MARPOL, providing air quality benefits for port communities
in countries that are signatories to the treaty. Annex VI is a global
treaty that establishes emission limits for oxides of nitrogen (NOx),
oxides of sulfur (SOx) and other pollutants from vessels.

I'd read from a respected cruise travel journalist recently he had to
ask himself what ship he was on..it didn't matter whether it was HAL,
Princess, or Celebrity they all were Carnival like and with very
little distinction. So, does it really matter anymore which "Carnival"
cruise line to you chose?

But I do have a question; Does Ray ever post an original thought about
cruising?
Tips, questions, experiences? I don't mean in response to a question, I
mean of his own thoughts.

I can't say I recall one.

No big deal either way, just a curious observation.
