EXCLUSIVE: City Council set to pass bill requiring cruise ships connect to shore power while idling – or sail away

By Ben Brachfeld Posted on March 6, 2024

The City Council is expected to pass a bill Thursday requiring cruise ships to connect to shore power instead of burning dirty diesel fuel at port in New York City — lest they be made to walk the plank out of the Big Apple, amNewYork Metro has exclusively learned.

The bill, Intro 4-A of 2024, would condition access to the city’s two cruise ports at Red Hook and Hell’s Kitchen to only those ships that connect to the city’s power grid to keep the lights on while at berth, instead of burning diesel fuel. Operators will also be required to create plans for mitigating traffic associated with cruise departures.
