Carnival cruise ships dumped sewage and waste into ocean, report finds
A report from an environmental-compliance inspector says Carnival Corp. violated environmental laws in the first year after it reached a $40 million settlement for improper waste disposal.
The inspector found over 800 violations of Carnival’s five-year probation between April 2017 and April 2018, though the violations were accidental and disclosed by Carnival, the Miami Herald reported.
The report complimented Carnival’s efforts to meet the terms of the 2017 settlement, saying the company had fixed the issues that led to the settlement.
But the report also criticized the company’s culture, internal investigations, and failure to give the inspector enough authority to ensure compliance with the settlement.
