JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Two cruise lines face fines for violating Alaska's clean air laws.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday that it recommended $110,000 in civil fines for Princess Cruises and a $55,000 penalty against Norwegian Cruise Line for violating smokestack emissions standards last summer.
Similar complaints against Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line-Westours and Celebrity Cruises are in the works, said Steve Torok, the EPA's senior representative in Juneau.
