Overview
- In each port, only one ship carrying more than 1,300 passengers may call per day, and vessels exceeding 3,000 passengers are barred.
- Across the year, an average of no more than 2,000 passengers may disembark per day in each city to curb day-visitor pressure.
- During peak months July and August, calls are limited to a maximum of 15 cruise ships per port per month.
- A two-stage emissions regime requires cuts within three nautical miles in stage one, with stage two allowing authorities to cancel port calls if pollution spikes.
- Officials frame the measures as balancing resident concerns and tourism revenue following publicized tensions, with operators warned that advance bookings could face disruption.
