Cruise ships to be charged emissions tax when visiting Scotland
In a new announcement from the Scottish Greens, cruise ships visiting Scotland will now be charged emissions tax.
The levy intends to encourage cruise ship operators to use less environmentally harmful vessels and will generate funds for hosting cities and towns.
Co-leader of the Scottish Green Party, Lorna Slater, said: “We will work with our partners in local government to empower councils to charge visiting cruise ships a levy.
“It will mean communities hosting cruise ships will get the investment they deserve, and our aim would also be to encourage greener ships.”
