1. A Miami federal judge has threatened to impose a temporary ban on cruise ships belonging to Carnival Corps, a British-American cruise operator, from docking in US ports. This is in response to a possible violation by the company of its five-year probation for illegally dumping oil from its Princess Cruise ships into the ocean. The company has allegedly been carrying out the practice for the previous eight years, according to the US state department. The court ordered probation began in April 2017 and is part of a USD40 million settlement agreement. The company was also required to undergo inspections by third-party auditors during the probation period.
